Amy Lynne Stavis

After consulting with several prospective divorce and family law attorneys, I found that Amy Stavis was the best attorney in her field by far. She was so knowledgeable in all areas including child custody and mediation and was also able to salvage an amicable relationship with my ex wife. Our kids ha...ve been minimally effected and this is undoubtedly due in large part to Amy Stavis. She's the best family law attorney in Santa Clara county...and believe me, I talked to several of them.

Would give more than 5 stars if possible. I really appreciated my attorney being so willing to explain the legal process to me in layman's terms. From the moment I met with Amy Stavis, she was honest with me and helped me to understand how the confusing and overwhelming process of legal separation an...d divorce worked. With her help, my mind was put at ease and I was able to make thoughtful decisions about where to focus my energies. I had not even been aware of the "no fault" rules and once I understood that, I knew that certain things that I cared so much about and that I thought were so important would not actually have an impact on a settlement. Oddly enough, I had met with 2 other lawyers before ever having met Amy Stavis and this was never somehow explained to me. I felt like the others may just have been interested in a financial gain, thinking I could afford to turn everything into a disputed issue. Finding someone honest and up front is what I needed and I was able to obtain a very fair settlement because of the advice that was given to me by Amy Stavis. To this day, my ex-spouse and I are on amicable terms and I think this is due in part to Amy Stavis's personality and input in our case. My ex didn't have an attorney. She actually liked MY attorney and was made to feel comfortable in working out all of out property and child issues (custody). We now can coparent well. This is the best thing I could have asked for considering that we were ending our marriage. Top notch help equals less headaches and less stress.

Ms. Stavis and her paralegal were a pleasure to work with. They were very sensitive to my needs. She knew I was in a tough financial spot and offered me many different payment options. She also told me many ways I can help save on my attorneys fees and costs. Even though a divorce is a terrible situa...tion, working with this office made it a lot less stressful for me.

Don't necessarily think it is common for a client going through the most stressful time in his life to like his attorney as much as I do. Amy has helped me immensely by guiding me thru such a confusing process. She helped me organize my thoughts AND my paperwork and made everything a lot easier. She ...helped work out a settlement between my wife and me almost immediately and without a huge amount of $. We could not afford for this to drag out and Amy helped to wrap things up after such a short time of us even knowing her. She knows the process well and is obviously very experienced in family law.

My attorney was very helpful to me during a really tough time in my life. She gave me solid advice so that I could make informed decisions about my case. That is exactly what I needed. A friend referred her to me, and I have thanked that friend a lot for pointing me in the right direction. Because of... my experience, I have referred several people to her who have told me that they were happy with her services and liked her a lot. She is really a great person to talk to if you are in need of a divorce attorney.
