This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Never once felt heard or sufficiently represented

If I could give zero stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and look for better counsel. I can only speak for Amy Owen and Irene Gonzales, but they are both absolutely terrible. Amy made a lot of promises to us when it came to retaining her, but she never kept any of them. She's very unprofession...al. The communication is the worst that l've ever experienced. All they care about is taking your money and they won't do anything that you ask of them. We sent her so much legitimate proof of court order violations and she did nothing with it. We would email them the same questions for months. No answers. When we sent an email about the lack of communication and months we've spent waiting on a reply, she withdrew as counsel. Extremely unreliable and unprofessional.

Amy Owen is a Champ!

Amy Owen just finished defending my boyfriend with criminal charges. Extremely professional ,much stronger than I anticipated and the end result , she was able get the case closed-dismissed. Which in-returned saved my boyfriend many years of probation and possibly imprisonment. Amy is dedicated, a ...hard worker and worth every penny! I highly recommend her and her team!

DO NOT HIRE HER IF YOU ARE NEEDING A FAMILY ATTORNEY

THIS ATTORNEY IS HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL. DOESNT SHOW EMPATHY TO HER CLIENTS. DOESNT MEET DEADLINES WHEN SHE SAID SHE WOULD. DOESNT RESPOND BACK TO EMAILS OR TEXT MESSAGES WITHIN A TIMELY MANNER. CHARGES FOR ITEMS WHICH SHE STATES IN THE BEGINNING A CLIENT WOULD NOT BE CHARGED FOR.

Amy's perseverance is without compare!!

Amy has gone above and beyond in my case. Despite many difficulties she never gave up and she continued to research and find different avenues to achieve success! I highly recommend her!

Nurse

Amy is an extraordinary Attorney. The moment we spoke for representation she was very informative and direct about the case. She is on top of everything . I cannot express how great she represented us in this case. I pray that we never need Her again ( in a nice way) but I can say that Amy is an Atto...rney I would recommend to anyone. She is a go get it done Lady...

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
