Amy Dohrendorf
Amy Dohrendorf is the epitome of professionalism, with a side of grace and a dash of wit. I hired her from Stewart Law Group after realizing that my divorce would continue to stall if I didn't consult a lawyer. She made it a point to understand the circumstances involving my case while keeping my time (and money) in mind. She's incredibly responsive and was never too busy to address any concerns or issues that surfaced during this process. Her knowledge of the law is astonishing, and I knew I could trust her legal advice with whatever craziness my ex-husband's attorney threw our way. Lastly, she made this difficult process bearable, humoring me with her witty comments and treating me like a human being and not just another client. I highly recommended her expertise to anyone who needs help along the way to end an otherwise painful process to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Great experience with Amy and her team
Amy Dohrendorf and her team did a great job representing me and getting to a positive outcome for all parties. I felt informed and confident in the decisions that were being made. Stewart Law Group is a great team and went out of their way to make sure I was supported and answered my questions timely.

A Superior Lawyer
Amy was very knowledgeable and experienced to help me navigate my divorce. It was an unpleasant time for me and she helped make it easier and helped me understand how the whole proceeding would unfold. I highly recommend her services!

love her
Amy was absolutely wonderful to work with. She negotiated a fantastic alimony settlement for me. When my ex was let go from his job, she helped set up a separate agreement to ensure I would receive the last of the payments. Amy was easy to work with. She is tough, honest and realistic. She doesn't make empty promises. I appreciated how hard she worked to take care of my family. I would highly recommend her!!

5-Star
There is a reason Amy has a 5-star rating, as she knows the system and gets results. While all divorce is awful, getting a fair settlement is important and Amy was able to discuss with me a strategy that worked. No one wins in a divorce, but you need good representation so you are not taken advantage of in a very trying time. Amy comes highly recommended!

AMAZING!
I want to let you know that I am forever in your debt, I mean that. You have helped us get the time we deserve with one another. I really appreciate you Amy!! You have changed our lives in one of the most positive ways. We have time together! More time than we would have had it not been for the day I walked into your office two years ago. If our paths cross again, it will be my pleasure. I wish you nothing but happiness and again thank you so much! Thank you

Excellent Professional Family Attorney
Amy was very impressive from the initial consultation. I left her office knowing that I would end up hiring her. I felt very comfortable with her advice and experience in handling my type of case. The other party (my son's mother) was very difficult to deal with. Any father seeking rights in a paternity case would be foolish to not consider an expert like Amy. I sat down with two other family law offices and was uncomfortable, unimpressed and shocked at the careless attitude in what I would call the interview. Amy first understood what I needed and wanted after hearing my situation, then quickly went to work gathering information to give me options. I always felt like I had control in which direction we went but felt the support of a tenured pro to back me up and handle most of this headache. I count my case as a win since I have joint legal and physical with a fair amount of parenting time. Be prepared when you are facing a child custody or marital issues because men are already behind the 8 ball. The only way to get a fair outcome is hiring an attorney like Amy Dohrendorf. I wish Amy's service were not needed and a court of law was able to sort through the lies as to save me a bit of money. Sadly I now know first hand why people like Amy are employed and encourage you to contact Amy to see what she counsels and can personally do for you and your situation. - J.C. (A very happy client from the east valley)

Amy is great! She was percise and clear. She crafted a clear plan and help me achieve a fair settlment and resolution of my divorce. I got the amount of custody I wanted, and support was fair and done to state guidelines.

Highly Recommended
I highly recommend the services of Ms. Dohrendorf as a competant, ethical and results driven attorney. From our initial meeting throughout the legal proceeding; Ms. Dohrendorf represented my best interests under the guidleines of the law and that of which we deemed fair and reasonable considerations. Her knowledge of the law and judicial process allowed me, a novice in divorce activity, to make proper decisions for my family; as well as, how those decisions would impact my future. Going through a legal process of any type is extreamely stressful. As is the case of divorce; compounded by emotions which can cloud proper judgement. Selecting an experieced lawyer can make the difference on how those decision impact the rest of your life. My case is now closed; but in reflection, I know the decisions made were seldom simple, but always 100% correct. I have Ms. Dohrendorf to thank for these results.

Review of Amy Dohrendorf
I will be divorced 3 years this coming March and going through that difficult process isn't easy, but Amy made it as painless as it could be for me. I was pleased with my settlement and we were able to settle my case through mediation. I have recommended several friends to Amy and they have all been pleased as well. I am still having to deal with some post-decree issues and I am always pleased with the options Amy gives me to try to settle these matters. If you are looking for a knowledgeable attorney that is responsive and is surrounded by a great support staff, contact Amy.

Very thankful for the help provided!
Amy provided me with information and guidance in my time of need. I would highly recommend her with any family law issues you may incur. She was knowledgeable, confident, and always available!

Great Family LAwyer
Ms. Dohrendorf was great to have on my side. She kept me well informed on what was going on in my case, and was always available to speak when needed. I was completely satisfied with the outcome we achieved and know that without her I couldn't have done as well as I did. The family court system is difficult to figure out and Ms. Dohrendorf helped me get what I was asking for. Previous to her council I was only seeing my daughter 60 days a year, with her help I am now getting close to equal time. I truly believe that this was only achieved because of Amy's help, I highly recommend her.

Impressed with our case
Living in Texas but having to find a lawyer to handle our case in Arizona was stressful. Amy Dohrendorf did an excellent job in keeping us informed of the going ons of our case. She was easily accessible and answered questions and concerns in a prompt manner. She gave us great guidance and held our hand all the way. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome of our case and recommend her highly. In fact we were so impressed with the way she handled our first case dealing with parenting time that we had her do a childsupport modification for us. Again our outcome was more than we could have hoped for. We plan on keeping in contact with her in the event of needing anything in the future.
