Great results

I had received 2 traffic violations and felt that there was reason to be concerned with my results. I reached out to Amy and right from the begining she made it seemless. Amy was accomodating to my schedule. Amy was able to speak to the DA and negotiate my violations with a great result.

Amy for Student

I got 4 tickets at the same time! and was going way too FAST. My car got towed, and I got handcuffed! I was in a terrible position for the incident since I'm a foreigner and student in college. I called Amy, and she was tremendously helpful. She really helped me to get through this and made the best ...result out of this difficult situation. The lady from the DA's office wasn't willing to let me off easily and my violation looked heavy on paper, without Amy's help, it could turn out completely down hill. So I strongly suggest Amy if you are in need for a wonderful lawyer, specially students! Don't let the law beat you!

Can't Go Wrong with Amy

Attorney Amy Ciota represented me on a traffic legal matter where I had a lot to lose. Amy was there for me throughout, from beginning to the very end. When I felt I was losing hope, and reached out to her, Amy always took the time out of her busy schedule to reassure me that all was going to be all... right. Amy knew my legal experiment was limited, and was there to explain everything to me. Amy always managed to make me feel I was her number one client. That is an incredibly reassuring feeling, as normally attorneys are too rushed and hurried with responses and answers when asked, and sometimes you feel you get lost in the lawyer’s shuffle. I never felt that way with Amy as my lawyer. Attention like hers is priceless when you, as the client feel like your outcome could be seriously affected negatively. Amy never failed to return my calls, texts or emails. Most importantly, she always had answers that were accurate, detailed, and clever. Throughout the proceedings, Amy offered me apt and expert consideration to all of my concerns and she always exceeded my expectations. When in court with her Amy was well aware of her surroundings, i.e. she knows her way around a courtroom! In the end Amy was able to get a sentence that could have been a possible felony charge, revocation of license and huge fines - ALL DISMISSED! I did research quite a few lawyers, before finally choosing Amy, and I chose her because of testimonials like these and extremely impressive word-of-mouth recommendations. Choosing Amy was one of the best decisions I have ever made. In one night, she managed to turn my life from possible doom to bliss. Yes, she’s that good. I promise you, you can’t go wrong with Amy at your side, regardless of your situation. Whatever situation you are facing, you cannot go wrong with choosing Amy Ciota as your lawyer.

Above and beyond

I was represented by Amy Ciota on a legal matter where a lot was at stake. Throughout the proceedings, Amy provided prompt and capable attention to my concerns and exceeded all expectations. Amy seemed to be in tune with everything that was going on in the court room. She was always available to talk..., and always had answers that were accurate and detailed. In the end Amy was able to get a sentence that could have been an incredibly long prison sentence with a felony charge, DISMISSED… yes I said dismissed- those are skills in my opinion that are not easy to find.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Ciota was an excellent attorney. She handled my criminal case based on accusations by my ex wife. She was very thorough and informative. She allowed me to help with my own case and went out of her way to help me. I was found not guilty. She also handled my custody case and helped me gain visitati...ons with my daughters. I highly recommend her.
