This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not good at all!

She was useless and lifeless and did not care about her client. I have nothing good to say about her. She was unhelpful and disengaged, showing little care for her client. I have no positive comments to offer about her performance. Her response time was slow, and her replies were brief. She did not s...uggest a phone call or offer any helpful advice. After a month, she still hasn't provided her client valuable information. Her response time was slow and short. She did not offer a phone call or any advice. She has yet to tell her client anything useful after month one.

Amazing legal work!

Amy Rimov is a excellent lawyer! I appreciated her dedication and professionalism with my case. She has a great ability to listen and hear what you say. I was very lucky to find her. I definitely would contact her again if needed.

Absolutely Amazing Attorney

Amy was the answer to my attorney needs. After an extensive custody battle Amy was there to help me navigate the complexities of the legal system. Her calm approach helped to keep me calm and my focus on what was best for the kids. Amy is attentive, direct and understands how to advocate for her cli...ents. She can hold her own in a court room and garners respect. I cannot recommend her enough.

Nasty divorce and custody battle!

Amy, Stephanie, and Taylor are amazing! If it wasn’t for them, I would not be where I am today. She helped me get out of a nasty divorce and custody battle with my ex-wife who was constantly lying to the court and trying to push out our divorce. Washington is a mother state, but Amy was a go-getter a...nd fought for me to see my children. I went from only seeing my children once a month (if I was lucky, on my ex-wife’s terms) to now having 40/60 custody. She is not in it for the money, and she truly cares about her clients. She will tell you her honest opinion and let you know if the small stuff is worth fighting for or if it will just waste your money. She works with you financially and is very understanding. She is not for mothers or fathers; she is for the best interest of the children and the situation. She is a very unbiased attorney and that’s what makes her so great! I would recommend her to anyone (mother or father) dealing with a divorce, custody, or child support issue. She always goes above and beyond; she never backs down and is a fighter who knows the laws inside and out!

Worst Attorney

Taylor Marie on FB. I’m more than willing to share my HORRIBLE experience with Amy Rimov. Hired her for a relocation plan, during our hearing she mispronounced my last name 3 times she stuttered and didn’t give any of the facts I wanted pointed out in court. She’s supposed to fight for me but she pre...tty much just threw me away. It’s embarrassing even the other party I’m against said I should be embarrassed.. which I am! She can comment back whatever she wants to try to make this review not look bad but like I said if u message me I’m more than willing to share my experience with this half effort poorly spoken sad attorney!!! Don’t throw away your money!! I’ve had way better representation in the past where atleast I felt it was worth my money. I just threw my money in Amy Rimov’s Garbage Can. And that’s hard to be okay with being a single mom. Amy! Your literally the worst attorney I’ve ever come across and I don’t know how YOUR okay with that. And I’ll still be going to trial for my relocation. See how that goes then I will be taking extra steps more then just a google review for Amy.

Replied last July 30, 2021

Ms. Taylor Walls, I would like to address your concerns because we are equally disappointed in the outcome of your case while we were retained. Unfortunately, this is a lesson from which many can, and will be able to learn. There are almost always serious negative repercussions during any litigation - even more so in a relocation matter - when pertinent details are withheld from newly retained counsel. Withholding pertinent details forces the new counsel to tackle an uphill trek toward the mouth of a volcano that is already burping up molten lava. Examples of "molten lava", aka of details, that left undisclosed may greatly damage your outcome include but are not limited to: court sanctioned restrictions, and even worse, an undisclosed open case with court ordered restrictions on a temporary basis, child abuse or neglect charges, domestic violence, not following the previously ordered court mandates that manage your restrictions, substance abuse, impairments that interfere with a parent’s ability to care for a child, withholding the child from the other parent without good cause, or abandonment of the child. Relocation cases often require very quick notice of the relocation, but that is not a reason to withhold damaging information from a prospective attorney, which information completely changes your cases' legal landscape. Another lesson to be learned is that one should consider representing themselves from the very start of their action if they do not have the funds to pay for an attorney past the retainer fee, or do not want to follow their attorney's advice. Attorneys are not required to continue representing people who do not pay their bills or client's who choose behaviors that the lawyer considers repugnant or for which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement. I hope with some time, that you, Ms. Taylor Walls, can appreciate the Commissioner's and the Judge's decision, even if you don't like them.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jun 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had two collaborative practice divorce cases with Amy Rimov representing the other spouse. I have found her to be caring and professional. The results for both those cases were based on the interests of both parties, and resulted in solutions not likely to be obtained in traditional litigation. I look forward to working on another collabortive divorce case with Amy being the other attorney "at the table"."
