Amy Louise Lopez

Won't recommend she tells you what you wanna hear says can take your case then backs out. Her assistant is unprofessional and rude, she can try smiling more often and making clients welcomed. Its disheartening to know there is lawyers that do this to people. The reviews that gave their honest opinion... are 100% right she isn't reliable and makes it seem like she will fight but doesnt.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience with this attorney and had her removed from my case. She did NOT provided the quality of service she lead be to believe I would receive when she was retained. I was NOT kept informed of information pertaining to my case. I DID NOT receive vital documentation regar...ding my case. I DID NOT receive repossess to my questions or calls. She did not look after MY best interest. She did not listen to my needs and my concerns. I filed for divorce in Sept. 2008 after living with and knowing about my husbands ongoing affair for 15 months. We were not given a court date until 2/2009 to gain any kind of financial support. Ms. Lopez did not listen to me in regards to my request for primary custody of the amount of support I needed to pay the marital debit I was left with when my husband walked out on me and our three kids. She, my husband and my husbands attorney brokered a "deal" on the day of our court hearing. I was NOT included in the negotiations and did NOT agree or know of the results until they were read in front of the judge. She agreed I would have shared custody and assume ALL marital debit. My husband walked out with paying 780.00 a month and I ended up with 3,600.00 per month in bills. I was a stay at home mom and only worked part time for over 20 years. She refused to disclose the letter my son (15) wrote to the judge asking not to be forced to live with his father and his mistress. After the court hearing I was livid. I tried calling Ms. Lopez several times. My calls were NEVER returned. I received no contact from her of any kind. My husband and his attorney made threats against me with further action because she did not follow through with the "After Hearing" reports. In late Feb. my husband showed up at my residence announced with a trailer while I was at work. Planning to remove furnishings and property from my home. The court gave me control over ALL property during our court hearing. Ms. Lopez did not provide me with the documentation I needed to present to the Sheriffs department to not allow my husband to remove things from our home. Thanks to a friend in law enforcement, I was able to ask the proper questions and give the proper answers to prevent my husband from removing anything from my home. I was able to obtain copies of the court notes on my own. I terminated Ms. Lopez services in March 2009. I have been requesting a final billing statement and record of payment from her office and to date have not received any records. My husband was ordered to pay 2,500.00 of my attorney fees. The last billing statement I received from her stated I only owed her 700.00. If you are thinking about hiring this attorney I hope you have a simple case and are willing to be left in the dark. She will not work for you.

When I first went to Amy Lopez, she made it seem like she was going to work hard for me, keep me informed along the way of what was going on and help me 100 % with the case. She said she charged 1,500 and i agreed to that, and guess what I got in the mail an extra 400 dollar bill. I keep calling into... the office and she will not return my calls and I even went to her office, guess what shes in a meeting all day!!!!!!!!!! it was IMPOSSIBLE to get a hold of her. Her paralegal is Gaylynn and multiple times he would "forget" to call me back. And promised he would have her call me, NOPE I have had a horrible experience and would caution you to stay away from this office.

She took my money, did not prepaid for the hearing, walked in without supining all of the cops to prove that this man was beating me. He even beat me when I was pregnant. The judge didn't believe anything that I said, she just believed him. I am in supervised visits now thanks to her. My heart hurts ...every day. She could have appealed, but she just threw her hands up and looked surprised, said I don't know and didn't provide me with any legal information that I know about now. She threw me to the wolves. I was asked to sit on the stand and I looked stupid no knowing where to go in the court room. She told me nothing about what was going to happen. She simply took the money and sat there. I am an educated women and have a BS in Business from Fresno State. They didn't even know that. She did not present any thing good about me and they thought that I was a looser. She didn't even provide me a copy of the order.
