Amazing Attorney!

I hired Amy to set up a JPA ( joint parenting agreement) for my daughter. As anyone who has been in this position knows, it can be an extremely frustrating and a very emotional experience. After my first meeting with Amy, I immediately felt at ease. She was so helpful and informative. She was profess...ional and always responded in timely manner. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I strongly recommend hiring Amy Jonaitis!

Intelligent Determination

I needed a lawyer that understood the situation I was in looking out for the best interest of my son. At our meetings and on our telephone calls I was open and honest about the events in my life. Amy and I developed a great rapport about all aspects of the case. She was always prepared for all int...eractions with the court and myself. Through the last three years as my lawyer, Amy has always kept me current and determined to stay on top of the case. She is exceptionally up to date on law and its applications and I trust her judgment completely.

Awesome Attorney

I'm sure my case is no different than most any other divorce case. We all feel helpless and overwhelmed and I sure was when I was lucky to have been referred to Amy by another attorney that didn't practice in my county. From my initial consultation I knew that I had met a special attorney beca...use as a retired police officer I have worked with many attorneys throughout my career. Amy is very professional, intelligent, organized and she truly knows how to apply the law as a litigator in the courtroom. However, what really sets Amy apart from most attorneys is that she is a very compassionate and empathetic attorney that truly cares about her clients. When my case began my world had turned upside down and I was worried about losing my parental rights more than anything. Amy guided me throughout the process and by the end she had turned my case completely around in my favor. Not only did I win a favorable financial outcome but I won majority custody of my children which is not easy for a father. I have personally never met a better attorney than Amy and I recommend her wholeheartedly. She definitely deserves a higher rating than 5 stars. I was very lucky to have been referred to her and I would like to pass that referral on to everyone else in need. Trust me, you will thank me later!

Pragmatic Advocate

Amy knows the law, which means she knows what is effective and what is not. Family law is highly emotional and Amy knows how to break it down to "just the facts" which helps her clients in knowing which issues to pursue and which issues may be emotionally difficult, but not important in family court ...or the outcome you're pursing. Amy is also extremely efficient. She devotes time to the activities that will produce the highest impact for her clients. Most importantly, she is strong. She uses the law to position the strongest argument on behalf of her client. She will also be 100% authentic in letting you know the likely outcomes of your personal position. I suggest listening to every ounce of advice she gives. As my attorney, she drafted an agreement that was rejected by the opposition. We went through trial and ended up with almost the exact agreement she suggested. Listen to Amy's instincts. She knows her stuff and truly wants to minimize any undue anguish from the realities of family court.
