5 STAR RATING

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.

Very pleased with divorce attorney

Amy was a great family law attorney for me and I would highly recommend her. In fact, i have already given her name to other people. She helped me through complex custody issues in my case and she really cared about the outcome. She is genuinely passionate about her work and that is important. She al...ways answered my questions and she would explain things to me in a way that I could understand. I was well-informed about the whole process and never felt unclear about what to expect because of Amy's guidance.

She was always in my corner

My divorce was the single most traumatic event in my life. I was scared, confused, and felt completely alone. I visited with three other attorneys before a friend recommended me to Amy. As soon as I had my initial consultation and she explained the process to me, I knew I had found the right attorney.... Her fees were reasonable throughout the process, I always understood what she was doing, and she was accessible and communicative the entire time. She is the most compassionate and kind person I have come across, and yet she was never afraid to fight for me when it needed to be done. I can't recommend her highly enough. And while I hope you never need a family law attorney, if you ever do, she will make sure you are represented in the best manner possible.

Great family law attorney

Amy was wonderful in handling my case. She explained each step of the process and kept me informed about what was happening. She returned my calls and emails quickly. Her billing was detailed so I knew exactly what I was being charged for. Although divorces are expensive, I feel that her charges were... very fair. I have friends who have spent much more on their divorces. I really liked the fact that Amy seemed to truly care about my case and that she advocated for my best interests.
