Amy Louise Lopez

I hired Amy Lopez for a Divorce, Child Custody and Ex Parte Orders. I needed a Temporary emergency (ex parte) order because my ex-wife was unstable and on drugs and left in the middle of the night with my two daughters to a different County 5 hours away. Amy Lopez immediately filed an ex parte orde...r to the Court to get my daughters back and I received a hearing date within days. I went to my Court Hearing for the ex parte and Amy Lopez addressed the issue with a Firm Professionalism that moved the Court to get me FULL SOLE CUSTODY of my Daughters! There is no other Lawyer in the County that’s going to get your ex parte granted by a Judge. Her Court Room skills, knowledge and experience with the ex parte is the best you’ll ever find. She knows exactly what needs to be done in order for you to win in Court. My daughters mean everything to me, now I have sole custody of them, and Amy Lopez made that happen!

We just had a custody hearing this past week and Amy was absolutely wonderful. She never left my side. She sat with me throughout the hearing and even stayed with me as I waited for mediation. I truly felt like she was not only my attorney representing me but was looking out for my child's best inte...rest. She made me feel comfortable from the first day I met her and worked hard to win our case. I highly recommend Amy for your custody needs.

Ms. Lopez represented me in my divorce and custody case. She was always prepared for court and she also prepared me for mediation which helped me a lot She spent time with me and she always answered all of my questions. She was great at representing me in court on custody and also helped us settle... our divorce case. I could not have done this without her. She was a great attorney and her assistant Juanita was also very helpful. I would strongly recommend Ms Lopez if you want a great attorney to help you with your custody and divorce.

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.
