Posted by Rebecca | February 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

My lawyer did an amazing job for me!

I hired Amelia Lahn to execute my divorce. She did so with the utmost integrity and confidence. We discussed all of my options; and she was straight forward and realistic. Ultimately I got exactly what I wanted out of the divorce, and things never got messy or unprofessional between parties. Amel...ia is quite thorough and has always been willing to hear me out, and give professional, informed legal advice. I feel good about giving her name to friends who are in need of an attorney. I will definitely hire her again if needed. She has done a great job for me.

Tremendous Help For Our Son

We highly recommend Amelia Lahn. When our son was wrongly charged with a Title IX offense at I.U., Amelia worked with him (and us) to navigate the tremendously scary I.U. administrative judicial process and ultimately got him cleared of all charges. As parents living out of state at a distance we fou...nd Amelia very easy to communicate with, and extremely knowledgeable and skilled in preparing our son and working the I.U. processes to get him cleared. Importantly Amelia was very warm and supportive throughout the entire ordeal, and as a family who have never experienced any charges, proceedings, processes like this she was a tremendous help to all of us as we all went through a hugely distressing time in our lives.

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.

Amelia fought for me

Amelia represented me in a case this past fall. All I had to do was provide her with information and she did the rest. She found a private investigator to interview witnesses and told me exactly what to say in my hearing. She was professional and thorough while still being human and understanding of ...my situation. She fought for me and won and I would recommend her to anyone who needs defense.

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.

  • 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.
