Everything and anything

Aimee helped me through thy most stressful moment in my life that I could not even process what I was reading on a document through all the errors I already made that she helped me correct. Aimee is professional in her area of family law, reliable and attentive in the care that I needed throughout my... case by keeping up with court dates and appointments with other outside professionals and most importantly, to me, in emotional support. I wouldn’t be where I am without her.

Compassionate, professional, and caring in helping us process and move forward!

I hired Aimee to represent our family with a recent death in our family that resulted in us needing a probate attorney to deal with the Estate. She has been professional, compassionate and caring as she walks us through the steps of how to proceed. With multiple family members involved, in and out of... state, she has been able to guide us through the legal steps necessary and to prepare in a way that has been calm and proficient. She allows us multiple opportunities and different ways of communicating to ensure we understand the process, but also reliable in showing us laws and statute with reasons for why things need to proceed in a certain order. Our family is thankful for the opportunity to work with Aimee, and grateful for her compassion and professionalism in this stressful and untimely death of the family.

Empowering!

Aimee R. Welch is an outstanding attorney. Her kind heart and knowledge continue to guide me through custody questions, parenting plan, and the overall messiness of divorce. Welch understood my parenting concerns and especially my concerns with the multi-cultural differences of child. She has been c...alming and careful in the post-divorce phase, as it seems there are typically continuing non-court processes that go along with the division of assets and debts e.g. monetary settlement, small property pickup, effective communication, two-party power issues, etc. Without Welch I am not sure where I would be in my case. She took my case from a commitment to social justice. I highly recommend her for your family law needs.

A Reasonable, Knowledgeable and Calming Attorny

Aimee helped me with a child custody case. It was a very nasty and emotional situation involving multistates, an outdated and ineffectual parenting plan, and a negligent parent. Because of her counsel and guidance I was able to calmly, rationally, and strongly present a valid case to the courts. ... As with any situation involving children and the courts, there were many unexpected turn of events. At each turn, she was right After trial closed and life moved on Aimee has been there to continue to guide me as the other parent tries to continue interfer in the courts decisions.. If you are looking for an attorney that has the knowledge to get it done right and fairly, an attorney who can provide those calm reasonable reassurances in the midst of such emotional issues, Aimee is the attorney to use!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
