Amazing Women
Hiring a lawyer, for any reason, is a scary thing. Mrs. Decker and Mrs. Kerr were extremely helpful and professional. Always kept me in the loop as things were happening and always looked for the best outcome for me. She made an over helming situation feel so easy and I appreciated that.

Highly satisfied
Ms. Decker and her assistant Ms. Kerr were very supportive, knowledgeable, effective, articulate and helpful working through a contested divorce to a satisfactory divorce quickly. I appreciate the help, advice and support they gave me. I highly recommend.

Amazing!!!!
I have never felt so comfortable and nurtured by an attorney in my life, or ever for that matter. Ami was warm, caring, honest, (YES! you read that right!) intelligent and didn't fill me with a bunch of political and bureaucratic crap that I didn't need or want to hear. I felt welcome and invited....
Ami Janelle Decker's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse and highly recommend Ami Decker. She is a very tenacious and skilled advocate for her client and obviously wants to do things the right way to get the right results for her client. Ami is also a very ethical attorney. She does a good job and is well respected around the courthouse."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is a great attorney in Texas for family law clients."
"I have worked on cases with Ami many times over the last few years. She has always been professional and it was never difficult to work with her. She was always prepared and demonstrated a good knowledge of Family Law."
"Ami Decker is a talented, clear advocate for her clients. She also puts reasonability at the forefront of her mind and understands that not every case needs to be hotly contested. She certainly can hold her own in ugly cases, and always presents her clients to the Court with dignity in all respects. She consistently has done the best she can with ugly facts, often working with opposing counsel to keep the parties' matters private. I endorse Ami, without reservation."
"Mrs. Decker is an excellent attorney. She has a broad knowledge of the law and offers practical, level-headed advice."
"Ami Decker is one of above average family lawyers that has the optimal mix of compassion and intelligence. Her courtroom demeanor is outstanding and because she is so professional, she is extremely effective in both negotiation and litigation. She serves her clients well and is well respected in the family law community."
"Ms. Decker is a highly qualified, trustworthy, and respected attorney in the legal field. Ms. Decker was an opposing attorney in a family law matter and I found Ms. Decker to be competent and reasonable in our settlement conference. Ms. Decker's first priority is to her clients and that is why she will attempt to settle a case prior to trial in order to save a client thousands of dollars in trial preparation. However, if Ms. Decker is unable to settle a case, she will be fully prepared for trial. Ms. Decker also attends continuing legal education seminars each year in order to keep up with the ever changing laws of the State of Texas. I would recommend Ms. Decker to any individual seeking representation in court."
"Very professional, courteous and knowledgeable attorney. Advocates very strongly for her clients yet remains congenial during the process. Ami is a very good lawyer."
