Reliable, personable, and knowledgeable lawyer! Highly recommended!

After working with Amy through a personal case, I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Amy handled herself professionally throughout the entire uncertainty. She gave her personal advice as well as her expertise in decision making situations. I got every possible outcome explained to me before an...ything happened so that I could be prepared for anything. Nothing came up short of what Amy had predicted. Following the sentencing of my case, there have been situations in which I have needed legal advice or just calming confirmation from her and she has always given me feedback within a day from reaching out to her. She is very personable and you can always rely on her no matter what the situation may be. I was very happy with the decision to retain Amy!

Highly Recommended

After receiving my 2nd DUI I got in touch with Amy. She was very straight forward and honest with me about my case, which meant I was always aware of every possibility. During my pending 2nd DUI I made the stupid choice to drive again and I ended up receiving my 3rd DUI. Amy showed me no judgment and... openly accepted both cases at a increadable rate. Amy went to bat for me in front of both judges and I received only the minimum sentence of 10 days in work release for my second charge and almost the minimum for the 3rd. I could not be more happy with the outcome of my cases with the help from Amy. if there is any other services I need (which I won't). Amy will definitely be the first one I call hands down.

Best Denver Lawyer Period

I've worked with several lawyers over the past 20 years in both a business and personal basis. I can say without a doubt that Amy is the "Best Lawyer in Denver". A lot of other lawyers will simply take your money -- show up on your court appearance dates and never talk to you. Amy meets with you, dis...cusses the case, gets investigators involved and works with the District Attorneys to dismiss the case before you go to trial. Her rates are very fair and more competitively priced than her competition. She isn't trying to drag the case out to get more money -- she is trying to get the charges dismissed or limited in punishment. She takes a personal interest in you and your case. If you need to call her, she gets you her cell phone number and email address. She wants to be easily reachable. This was by far the most approachable attorney I have ever worked with. I firmly believe that she is very talented lawyer -- and can be trusted to handle your case in an effective manner. No question about it -- Best Denver Lawyer.

Amy has been an incredible professional throught my entire ordeal! The perfect attorney to have on my side!

Amy was referred to me by a friend and it has been one of the best professional referrals I have been given to date. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of criminal defense and has always been "on the ball" with any issue that has come up in my case. I've never had trouble contacting her or ...getting an immediate response and would recommend her to anyone that is in need of her particular services. She's been a blessing that I could never give enough thanks for!!!
