Highly recommend

We cannot recommend Amy and Matt highly enough. From start to finish, they navigated and took on the immense pressure and stress from our case with ease. We felt supported in even our most vulnerable moments. Most importantly, they made us feel justified in our cause. You definitely want this duo in ...your corner when things get challenging!

5 Stars!

I hired Amy for an employment matter. At the initial consultation she laid out a realistic timeline and made sure I understood what to expect. She kept me updated throughout the case and did her best to make everything as easy as possible. I’m the end the matter was resolved much quicker than I ex...pected and I also got a far better outcome than I could have ever expected. Should I ever have to hire an attorney for an employment matter in the future, Amy will be my first call. Thank you Amy!

I Highly Recommend Amy! A Truly Spectacular Lawyer!

I highly recommend Amy! She went above and beyond. She was extremely knowledgeable and guided me throughout the entire process. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my complex case. I literally called 8-10 law firms in the Seattle area, and they all refused to take on my case, except for Amy...! She believed in me and was willing to put in the hard work. She seriously didn't shy away from complex problems. I would read all the court documents that were submitted, and I was confident in her abilities. Some of the best written documents I have ever read, with deep understanding of the law came from Amy! She would cite numerous court cases ranging from employment law to immigration law. Deep knowledge in both employment and immigration law is not common. Without Amy, I honestly don't think the same outcome would have been reached. Seriously the best lawyer! I hope I never need lawyers again, but if I do, I will be sure to reach out to Amy! P.S. Thank you so much for everything! Your firm is amazing and doing great work!

"I completely trust Amy, and highly recommend her" This is my first review, EVER on any product or service. Amy and Matt are absolutely amazing!! I felt, I should share my reasons why you can trust Amy to fight for you. I called Maloney O'Laughlin with my very disturbing case, Amy immediately me...t with me, and went to work! When you hire one of the partners at Maloney O'Laughlin, you get a two headed piranha that will eat up the other side. Amy treated me like a friend throughout the entire process, and gave me the confidence, I needed to move ahead with this case. My case was very complicated, and yet it was resolved in less than a year, with great results!! I cannot get into the details, I can only say, you will not be disappointed with the final results of Maloney O’Laughlin, Thank you Amy and Matt!! Barbie G.

Incredible Determination and Drive

Amy was such an amazing and wonderful person. She truly has a gift and enjoys what she does. Made me feel like I had a big sister who had my back. Super friendly and just an all around go getter. She has a passion for justice and fights for what is right. Hands down, best attorney out there.
