Excellent an Highly Recommended!

Amelia Lahn represented me when I was charged with an OUI. Ms. Lahn was not only professional, but caring and concerned about my personal well being. This was a very difficult time for me and my family, Amelia made every step of the process as painless as possible. She was upfront and honest about... what she would be able to do for me. The costs were reasonable and fair. She was available to discuss my case with me when I needed her. I was comfortable disclosing information to her, and she kept my confidence throughout the procedure. Ms. Lahn directly contacted the prosecutor and was able to negotiate on my behalf. Her personal attention to my case made me feel assured that I was getting the best representation possible. She takes her responsibilities seriously and her counsel was invaluable. I have and will continue to recommend Amelia without reservation to my family and friends.

Excellent Lawyer

Amelia Lahn was a very thorough, kind and competent professional. She was great about walking us through the entire legal process and made us feel very comfortable. Amelia never missed any scheduled meetings or court dates and she always kept us informed. Amelia was also always willing to take the t...ime to talk with us or e-mail us. We felt very confident in her abilities. We were extremely pleased with our outcome.

Professional and helpful

I had a 3 year old case that I had no idea about. I hired Amelia soon after my 1st court date. She was was very helpful in finding information for me and communicating it all promptly. She was able to bring down my charges significantly which included not having to serve a full year probation but ins...tead only serving 6 months. She was very understanding of my situation and always answered my questions. She was able to keep me at ease through all of the stress brought on by my case. I was overall very satisfied with her work.

Couldn't have asked for more!

Amelia represented me in a paternity suite, my first experience with legal counsel, and performed beyond my expectations in her service. She was very available for my many questions, always thoroughly explaining the process and her approach, and never making me feel like my needs were a burden to her.... She was emotionally supportive, friendly and professional at all times.

Very Responsive and Professional

Very pleased with the experience with Amelia Lahn. She always went above and beyond the call of duty. She was responsive to texts, emails, calls 24/7. From the beginning, Ms. Lahn explained the situation, answered any questions and gave the best possible representation. Above and beyond her prof...essional duty, she was very warm and caring in a difficult situation. She has checked in from time to time after the final positive resolution to inquire about our well being. I would highly recommend Amelia Lahn.
