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!

Contempt of Court case

Amy was the most wonderful Attorney and accomplished exactly what was need. Had a messy divorce years ago and Ex-Spouse was not complying with the order. Amy played the situation perfectly during covid and got me exactly what was needed. Amy's Knowledge of the law was excellent!

Worth the wait. Best lawyer experience EVER.

Worth the wait. On a recommendation from a woman I met whom Amy had represented in a divorce, I consulted with Amy Rimov early in my divorce proceedings. She is not local for me. Amy gave me invaluable guidance and frankly very very kind moral support. I felt valued not just as a client but as a huma...n being. I did not retain her at that time and yet she reviewed quite a bit of paperwork I needed to explain my situation and she came fully prepared and gave me ample time for us to speak in a telephone consultation. I knew if I decided to retain an attorney, she'd be my choice. At one stage, I did try to retain her but she actually couldn't take me as a client because of her caseload (she had obligations to those clients.) I respected that and frankly because she'd helped me believe in myself I managed to complete my uncontested divorce on my own as quickly as humanly possible (because my ex's personality would have made anything else an endless cost-prohibitive nightmare.) Soon after, though, I faced my ex coming after me with an afterthought legal attack with no basis in legal merit (he retained a local attorney who in my opinion took his money and brought a case he knew had no merit, most likely because my ex as his client was too focused on revenge to listen to reason. (That attorney even stated in his opening argument that he lacked the elements to make a case!) I didn’t want to do this alone, but I saw slim pickings like that among local attorneys. So went out of town again to Amy Rimov and was THRILLED that she was available to defend me. I sat back and watched her do everything right--including wisely edit my declarations to stick to the legal facts. I am grateful. Her understanding of the facts of my case, the laws and case law supporting a defense, and even her empathy of my emotional state was the best experience I've ever had with an attorney of any kind. She gets top marks in her ability to research, her knowledge and understanding, and her communication skills. It doesn't matter in court if your side is 'right,' you absolutely have to prove it and Amy does just that. It’s sweet sweet icing on the cake that she is succinct and shows her confidence and command of the courtroom as she gets right to the point. (Yet she is kind, patient, and understanding of stressed out clients who struggle with exactly that!) You want her in your corner. I highly recommend Amy Rimov and if she's unavailable and you can wait, do so.

Attorney Extraodinaire

When I asked Amy Rimov to be my attorney in my divorce proceedings I did not expect to find someone who also helped me find courage to face the difficult times in the months we worked together in addition to being a positive, competent and knowledgeable attorney. She was proactive with all that neede...d to be done in every situation we faced and responded with calm and the right way to proceed with each step of the divorce process. Amy helped me achieve the peace I was seeking in my life for many years. I have and will continue to recommend her to friends and acquaintances who might need this type of service.

Complete Satisfaction

Amy provided turn-key professional assistance in my son's long distance divorce proceedings. Her communication skills were paramount in the successful conclusion to the proceedings. She was timely, experienced, comforting, yet totally professional in helping to arrive at an agreeable conclusion. S...he kept meticulous records and charged fairly for her services. We are completely happy wth Amy and are proud to welcome her as a friend to our family. Can't say enough positive things about her. She is go-o-od!

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"."
