Reliable - Attorney Extraordinaire!

I have hired Ms Amaro for land use issues of which her knowledge and advice was stellar. She is professional, creative and logical, seeking solutions and active efforts that is resolution based and nit court based. I’ve also worked with her in custody based course work in Idaho and was pleased wit...h her compassion for the child over the diligent Representation of the parent. She leads with her heart but acts with her skills and ability with a perfect blend of what you want in an attorney.

Divorce/ custody

Rami performed above and beyond what I had anticipated from legal counsel. She has a thorough knowledge of the law and was able to go above and beyond in working to get me the maximum amount of time with my kids. Even while dealing with a less than reasonable opposition.

Best decision I ever made

I could not be more grateful. I was in a terrible custody battle and I thought I'd be lucky to get every other weekend. Rami worked hard, was always there when I called, and was vicious in court. I ended up getting everything I could have asked for and far more. The price was very reasonable but beli...eve me it was worth every penny. If you are in a custody battle she is the lawyer to have. She also represented my cousin and got him all he asked for. Hire her you won't be let down

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Public Reprimand and Probation issued in ID, 2009

updated on 03/13/2014

Reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. While on probation, the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Rami’s comment:

“This involved a former client who was fired from her job after she engaged in misconduct. She blamed me as I had asked that the bank remove her access to my accounts due to her unstable behavior. I chose not to appeal the initial appeal decision by the bar - although I strenuously disagree with it.”

Reprimand issued in WA, 2009

updated on 03/13/2014

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Rami’s comment:

“This is the same matter - but reciprocal discipline by another state (required). This involved a former client who was fired from her job after she engaged in misconduct. She blamed me as I had asked that the bank remove her access to my accounts due to her unstable behavior. I chose not to appeal the initial appeal decision by the bar - although I strenuously disagree with it.”
