Amy was my light in a dark tunnel
I first met Amy when I was going through a really scary and exhausting divorce. I pled my case (no punn intended) and she immediately got to work. Amy was very knowledgable, kind, and compassionate.

Amy has been an excellent lawyer
I have been working with her for several years now and she has been extremely helpful as she assisted with my divorce/both pre and post. She has been quick with responses and efficient while working with me.
"I endorse this lawyer. Amy is a knowledgeable, tenacious, and skilled advocate. I have referred personal friends to her. She has a thorough understanding of the statues and has worked with lawmakers in Olympia for years to improve the laws affecting children and families. Her work ethic and compassion make her an excellent attorney for her clients."
"Amy and I were opposing counsel in a difficult case with sensitive issues. We stayed focused on the important issues -- the well-being of a young child -- and were able to manuever what could have been a litigious and expensive road efficiently and well. I very much appreciated the way in which she balanced advocacy for her client and sensitivity toward all of the difficult emotional issues that were involved."
