Review Amie Beighley

Amie Hamilton Beighley is a Life Saver

Posted by

Amie has saved me so much grief with my legal problems. Initially after being cited for a DUI I debated whether or not to hire a lawyer and was eventually convinced by a friend to do so. I cannot express how glad I am that I chose to do so. Amie basically paid for herself because of the money she saved me. In addition, and probably more importantly, she prevented a criminal conviction by getting my DUI reduced to a wet and reckless, which kept me out of jail, eliminated community service requirements, having to get a breathalyzer in my vehicle and extended DUI school. I even kept my driver's license. She is very personable, responsive and took care of all the hassles of this annoying and somewhat degrading process. Although I made a bad decision which ended with me in trouble with the law, hiring Amie was definitely a good decision that I do not regret in the slightest. Having to go through this process unassisted, powerless and uninformed would have led to a much less desirable outcome and a lot of frustration. I would recommend that you help yourself by hiring Amie as legal representation.

Amie takes personal responsibility for your case, and has great connections to the right people.

I recently received my first DUI and had no idea what to do. I got some advice from some friends of mine to get a lawyer, so I went on yelp and found Amie's firm (5 stars). Amie promised to leave no stone unturned. She checked all of the facts out to ensure the DA was justified in their accusations, and that they followed all of the legalities behind issuing a DUI. With some remonstration from Denis White, the lead attorney there, and Amie's compilation, coordination and implementation of the case, my sentence was reduced to a wet and reckless. I could not have chosen a better attorney. They consoled and counseled me through the process, and never once gave me sales lines or jargon in an attempt to take advantage of my ignorance regarding due process. Amie was hardworking, honest, and very easy to talk to about one of the worst experiences of my life. The rate for their services is very do-able as well, and extremely worth it. I wasn't in the best financial situations going in, and they assured me that they weren't in business to stretch the case out unnecessarily just to get my money (which was a fear of mine regarding attorneys). I can comfortably say that she's now my go-to gal in Sacramento if I need legal defense and I would vehemently recommend her to anyone looking for a fact-finding, passionate family defense attorney.
