Amy found me justice

Amy and Lori made me feel very comfortable going to trial and in the end, no surprise, we won. Now my family can get back to what’s most important, being together.

Wish I had found Amy sooner.

I was entangled in a long and drawn out post-divorce decree matter with my ex-husband for close to two years with a different law firm. I spent thousands of dollars and got nowhere. When it became clear to me that bleeding my retainer dry each month without actually doing any “real” work on my matter... was intentional, I began my search for a different attorney. Thankfully, an internet search lead me to Amy McAuley. From the beginning, I could tell Amy was different from my prior attorney in a good way and I decided to hire her to take over my case. She was thorough, communicative when necessary (not to just increase billable hours,) and highly effective as we were able to settle the matter in a couple months. I felt confident in her skills, experience and knowledge especially regarding cases involving a guardian ad litem and reunification therapy. I highly recommend her and would not hesitated to hire her again. Thank you, Amy!

Grateful to have found her on my custody case.

Attorney McAuley is communicative, knowledgeable, and professional. She works in an urgent manner and makes you confident that your case is important to her. I am thankful to have found her on a 2+ year custody battle. Thank you!

Highly Recommend, Trustworthy, Professional

Amy is ethical, honest, trustworthy, responsive to calls and e-mail, works to resolve issues and ALWAYS has my best interest and the children's best interest in mind. I hired Amy to help clean up numerous complicated items left open by my previous attorney. She hit the ground running to diligentl...y resolve these post-decree issues. She pointed out pros and cons of decisions. I wish I had hired Amy from the very beginning of the divorce. I finally could sleep at night once I had Amy on my team. I would highly recommend Amy to all of my family and friends.

Attorney- child support, visitation

Hiring Amy made my court life so much easier. Before having an attorney I had been going back and forth to court since 2005 and still not receiving any support. Amy came right in heard my case pulled all files from 2005 up until the current date. She went over each case thoroughly to made sure I was ...satisfied. Once we were back in court, everything I had issues with were resolved which made me at ease. Amy was very patient and understanding and was able to explain each situation I had. It was a pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need.
