Effective and Trusted!

When searching for an attorney to handle a personal and emotional matter, the need to find someone who is professional, knowledgeable and compassionate can be a difficult task. I found all of these characteristics and more in choosing and hiring Aimee Ashby Flanagan to handle my dissolution of marri...age. During our initial phone call, Aimee and I discussed the particulars of my marriage and as uncomfortable as it was for me to approach the conversation, Aimee's calm and comforting demeanor quickly settled my unsure nerves. Upon our first face to face meeting (during the Covid -19 pandemic), Aimee politely answered each of my many questions, took ample time discussing the divorce process and welcomed my feedback. Never was I rushed into signing an agreement or pressured to hurry the process. Her communication, whether by email, telephone or in person was always articulate and excellent and her response time throughout the duration of my case was immediate an on-point. She continually provided status updates, which I appreciated greatly. I was made aware of any email communication between she and my future ex-husband; each time impressed with her professionalism and expertise. When the time came to file the final documents with the court, Aimee made sure I was 100% satisfied with the judgment agreement, spent ample time interpreting each document and again, answered my many questions. The decision to end a marriage can be direful and as to be expected, emotional. Aimee has a keen way of not only listening; but, reassuring that you will be all right. Any fear I experienced at the beginning of this process has transpired to an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. I highly recommend Aimee Ashby Flanagan. She is simply outstanding!

Aimee handled my divorce with warm human understanding and superb legal expertise.

My divorce had a number of uncommon situations that might easily have baffled another attorney. Aimee not only navigated the difficult situations for me, but she also handled the divorce in such a manner that we resolved it completely with my ex-spouse as harmonious as possible. Most important, Aimee... provided me with warm human understanding, coupled with her superb legal expertise. I could not have hoped for a better outcome and was so lucky to have the very best attorney.

Aimee is AMAZING—very professional and honest!!

The Universe was working in my favor when I met Aimee a few weeks before I had to go back to court on a spousal support issue! When I consulted with her, she told me what I could do myself, what she would do for me if I chose to hire her and how much it would cost. She was prompt and professional i...n all of our communications throughout the process of filing the papers and going to court with me! She handled my ex like a charm and got him to agree to what I wanted that day, even when he originally wanted a continuance! I believe Aimee is an attorney of the highest integrity! I have already recommended her to several people and would highly recommend her to anyone in need! I am so happy I met her! Thank you Aimee!

Great & Respectable Attorney!!

I have been with my attorney for several years and she has really gone above and beyond for my case. Aimee is tough, she is very respectable and has succeeded in getting the best results in court. She is truthful and honest. As my attorney she guides me in the right direction when it comes to difficu...lt situations in dealing with the other parent. I am so happy that I have Aimee as my attorney and better yet grateful that she is doing what is in the best interest for my child.

TWO THUMBS UP!!!

I HIGHLY recommend Aimee as a truly caring, compassionate & skilled family law attorney. She made a VERY complicated, years long divorce and custody battle so much more bearable for me and my 3 small children. Not only was she always available, personally calling me back anytime I needed her as...sistance, I felt that she TRULY cared about me and my family. That meant a lot to me. She handled our hearings and pleadings with expert skill, and I never felt confused over what happened or unprepared for what was to come. I could never have survived the last several years without her at my side! She over-delivers. Two thumbs way up!

"I worked with Aimee Flanagan on a cross-over matter where both of our clients were involved in civil and family law cases. Aimee is an assertive attorney who knows how to represent her clients in very emotional situations. She's thorough, very knowledgeable about family law and has a great game plan to attack the case. In addition, she was very compassionate with her client, who was going through a hard time and was very emotional. She showed a lot of patience and put her whole heart and soul into defending her client, working late and doing any action necessary to defend the case. I would recommend her highly."
