Brilliant Appellate Attorney

I hired Amy to represent my Maricopa Country Superior Court appeals case. Her expertise proved her to be a top appellate attorney in Arizona. Beyond her professionalism, it was her clear and complete understanding of appellate law that was wonderfully brilliant.

Plaintiff's attorney for my business

My business recently retained Amy Wilkins to litigate a suit filed against another business. She was actually recommended to me by another attorney as someone who had knowledge and expertise for my type of case. I found her to be reliable (got back to me quickly) and knowledgable (also pays attenti...on to details) thus resulting a favorable outcome for my case. Would use again for business litigation.

Excellent writer

We engaged Amy to assist in complex litigation and found her knowledgeable, very pleasant to work with, and one of the best writers we have seen in the legal profession. She immediately got up to speed reviewing multiple documents, and we quickly developed a high regard for her written work. She wa...s patient and respectful, a task not always easy in advising clients, especially when one of them (my husband) is also an attorney. Her compassionate nature definitely helped with the inevitable stress of litigation, and her knowledge of law made us comfortable as well. Thank you, Amy!

Great Attorney Who Is Very Thoughtful and Understanding

Amy is great. She handled two matters for me and was very responsive on both. She truly listened to my concerns and worked on achieving the outcomes I wanted. She also was very responsive to my calls and emails and kept me informed of the situation. She asked for my input so that the matters were... handled to my satisfaction, and I felt invested in the whole process. Her knowledge of the law and legal process was great, and it showed in her quality work and legal arguments. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone seeking a smart, thoughtful and thorough attorney.
