Efficient and Responsive Collaborative Family Attorney

Amy was responsive, efficient and proactive. She listened to my objectives, provided insight when appropriate and represented me effectively. She is a person of high integrity and her staff is well-trained. I recommend working with Amy in the area of collaborative family law.

Amy Gehm- If you need someone who is attentive, compassionate, diligent and can navigate through Family Law successfully!

Amy Gehm represented me in a case and did an amazing job! She is someone who I thoroughly trusted when my case was mired in difficult and unresolved claims. She handled every single situation with professionalism, clear concise communication and determination. Amy was available to me any time I neede...d her . Her experience handling unmanageable situations gives her the ability to navigate what can be a very scary and unsettling experience. Her learned advice was exactly what I needed to be successful in my case. I am forever grateful for her perseverance, knowledge, and fortitude. I can not recommend Amy more highly. If you need someone who is attentive, compassionate, diligent, and informative than she is one!

Amy is a “Gem”

I hired Amy to represent me in my divorce case. After speaking to her once on the phone & then meeting in person, I hired Ms. Gehm without trepidation. Some people will say that’s not a good idea you should interview several and then choose, but that’s how certain I was after meeting her that she wa...s the attorney that I wanted in my court so to speak! Immediately I sensed her sincerity, competency, kindness, professionalism, upfront honesty & her strong sense of ethical morality. It was a very lengthy divorce due to my request in selling our home first which she agreed if I was willing to wait. When it became apparent we needed to find out more information regarding assets, I so appreciated Amy’s humility in explaining the need she had in hiring a business attorney for the discovery since there was potentially a substantial amount of money not revealed. Throughout the entire divorce process she gave me options and her recommendations and respected my choices even if they may not have been in line with what she would’ve done herself. I pushed to not sell a second home/ranch because of the hunting passion my ex & sons had enjoyed, and although it made it difficult to negotiate without that sale, Amy did everything possible to provide for me and to ensure there were no loopholes in me receiving payments with interest. Unexpectedly 5 years later my ex paid off the note & Amy picked right back up where she left off to complete legal papers with a bank & delivery of check etc. Being a mother & entering back into the work force, and married for 27 years, I did not have divorce experience & was stressed! I didn’t have to know the answers to things, with Amy’s experience she brought up all of the concerns that I should have & followed through with each one. During the temporary orders we went to court as my ex wanted monthly payments decreased, we left court with an increase in payments! We mediated for eight hours and Amy stood firm with making sure I would be taken care of in the best way possible. She’s a fighter although on the outside she’s just steadfast and sure of herself and friendly! I really can’t think of one negative thing to say about my experience with my representation per Ms. Gehm. Communication was prompt, fees were as negotiated at the start, and time frames were as expected. It was clear to me that I was not her first rodeo! She is truly a “Gem”!

Amy K. Gehm endorsement

Amy K. Gehm represented me in my divorce case over the last few months and did an outstanding job. Amy is certified in Family Law, and it really shows and makes a huge difference. I liked Amy’s style within minutes of first meeting her. She immediately made me feel relaxed and assured me that I would... get through this unfortunate time in my life. What makes Amy special is that she listens to you and works hard to achieve your goals. At the same time, she calls it straight, with her vast knowledge of the law, the legal process, and the courts. Getting divorced is a highly charged emotional time for anyone. Amy was able to rein me back in many times, putting me at ease and giving me the confidence that my desired outcome would be achieved and most importantly that I would get through this and be ok. Amy was an excellent communicator and always responsive, where many attorneys are not. Timely communications takes so much of the stress off and I ALWAYS knew that Amy was on top of everything. Over the course of my divorce, I asked Amy for her advice on many issues related to my case, and she always gave me her sound advice. Advice I trusted totally. When I was headed down the wrong path, she pulled me back and got me on the right path. What impressed me the most however was that I always felt like we were team, working together. I tell you from my divorce experience that feeling like you’re on a team with your attorney makes all of the difference in the world. I HIGHLY recommend Amy K. Gehm as your Family Law attorney. It will be the best decision you ever make. ~ Mark R. Holliway
