Smart and Kind

Amy was very helpful after my accident and during the whole process, as a college student far from home there were parts of the legal process that confused or scared me that she was happy to explain. She also explained every step of the process and possible outcomes and then asked me what I was most ...comfortable doing

Amy Vela was the perfect attorney for me

I was in an accident on September 17,2015 I was rear ended. In the beginning I wasn't sure if I needed an attorney, but after I experienced pain I consulted Amy, and she was great. Very helpful and explained everything to me. I would recommend her to everyone.

Amy Vela

I have been involved in two accidents in which I was rear ended. In the first, Amy was really great at explaining the process when we sat down. Made sure to keep me in the loop of what was going on with my case in a honest and caring way. Years later I was rear ended in the same car :-( In which I k...new to contact Amy because I had such a great experience in my first accident. Amy made sure that I did everything that I was suppose to so she can do her job well. I would definitely recommend her as a personal injury lawyer.

The Lawyer I Needed: Amy Vela

Amy Vela did an excellent job representing me in a personal injury case. I appreciated her approachable manner which was helpful, honest, direct, and thorough. Communication with Amy was easy because I felt like I could talk with her as an equal. My questions were always answered and explained so tha...t I was aware of what was going on with my case. When I was stressed, Amy could talk me through the issues. I appreciated the calm, honest, direct, yet empathetic way in which she communicated; Amy is truly skilled in this area! Other areas of expertise were professionalism, preparedness, punctuality, attention to detail, trustworthiness, and the ability to represent me so that my needs were met. I was and am extremely satisfied and happy with the representation Amy Vela provided for me. I highly recommend her as an experienced, confident, successful attorney!

My son"s accident

My son was hit by a car while driving his bike at an intersection, the car did not stop, and the officer on seen didnt even ticket the driver. After learning about his he injuries ,a broken jaw and broken front teeth. I knew I needed an attorney thankfully, I found Amy Olivas. The minute I walked in... her office and spoke with her the first few minutes, I felt more confident that my handsome son was going to be put back together. She was very knowledgable, patient, and explained everything from his medical care, insurance process and told us how much she expected settlement to be. My son received the medical care needed, two new teeth and the settlement amount was exactly the amount expected. Thank you Amy, keep helping people the way you do :-)
