I was going through a split up with my girlfriend and was not happy with the amount of time i was getting with my daughter. I was scared as a father, the court would give the mother anything she wanted and i had no say. This was a very scary and stressful time. After talking with friends and famil...y i knew i had to get help. I've never hired a lawyer before so the process was completely foreign to me. I searched family law in my area and started calling blindly, i had tons of questions and had no idea about the process. After calling a handful of places non felt right to me, either they where rude and rushing me off the phone only trying to set me up with a consultations and not willing to answer any of my questions on the phone. Some sounded like they where just answering phones and where just as confused as me. I made a few appointments, after my first consultation where the attorney didn't seem patient, seemed to be judgmental, and definitely didn't make me feel confident. I found Amy York Garrett's phone number on google and gave them a call. I was greeted on the phone by Terri, Amy's assistant. Terri is awesome, she answered all my questions without rushing me and knew what she was talking about, i can tell she has been doing this for a long time. Just talking to her made me feel relaxed and confident that i wanted to meet with Amy for a consultation. I met with Amy and she was great as well she answered all my questions, listened to my talk about my situation and made me feel confident about making my decision to have her represent me. I also feel like she wasn't just telling me what i wanted to hear, just to get my business. I'm glad i waited to make a decision until i found the right team to help me. Amy and Terri are great and in the end i got exactly what i wanted. They where extremely patient with me and it was nice knowing if Amy was unavailable i could talk with Terri and most of the time i could get an answer to my questions. I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone, going through a situation like mine!

Nothing But Professional

I was referred to Amy by a mutual friend. My divorce was hairy at times with a DVRO and an uncooporative other party but Amy helped me through every step of the way. With my DVRO lasting 6 days and my nerves on edge she was nothing but professional and kind. After 2 years I was finally able to get my... case settled and start my life and one of the main people I have to thank are Amy and her incredible staff.

Private Adoption

Amy and her staff were an absolute joy to work with. We were really nervous going into the adoption process, and everything was so new to us. Amy took the time to explain the entire process thoroughly, and went above and beyond to address our concerns. Her office was very friendly, and prompt to repl...y to any questions we had. I would recommend her to any one seeking legal assistance for a private adoption!

Amy is a caring, tough, to the point and effective lawyer.

We were referred to Amy York Garrett with a glowing recommendation and could not be happier with her work. She is thorough, caring, extremely knowledgeable, gave us fantastic advice and guidance and helped us see a favorable outcome. If you need a lawyer that will go to bat for you, and is tough a...nd you can trust knows what to do when yogurt hits the fan, look no further. Amy is one of the best.
