  1. Lemon law: 25%

    If you purchase a car which, unbeknownst to you, is a rebuilt wreck -- call me. Also, I sue service contract companies (i.e. "extended warranties") for not honoring thier contract and covering work needed on your car!

  2. Credit repair: 25%

    I do not "fix your credit". You should be able to do that with letters to the credit bureaus. If you dispute errors on your credit report and it is not fixed, then call me. Sometimes a lawsuit is required to get the credit agencies to pay attention and fix a consumer report.

  3. Consumer protection: 25%

    I sue for fraud and financing problems in car sales.

    10 years

  4. Debt collection: 15%

Review Amy Clark

Came through on tough case

Posted by

Ms. Kleinpeter handled a case where our FCRA rights had been violated. Case progress had its up and downs over two years, but in the end, her tenacity and legal smarts paid off with a resolution and settlement in our favor. We'd recommend Amy to anyone wanting to legally defend their consumer rights. If we ever have future need of Automobile or Consumer Protection legal counsel again, we'll be knocking on her door.

Fantastic Dedication to Providing Value Through Her Services!

Posted by

Recently I consulted with Amy on situation involving a car dealership engaging in deceptive business practices. Amy invested the time to understand all aspects of the situation, and then discussed my legal standing in depth, answering all of my questions. I will definitley use Amy's services in the future shoudl the need arise. A+++

Amazing Lawyer for credit repair

Posted by

I had the misfortune of a collection agency denting my credit report with debt that I did not owe. Although the amount was not huge, the implication of collections being reported to the bureau was a nightmare. I turned to Amy for help and she alleviated my panic and anxiety, prepared a strong case and went after the bad guys! She was always responsive to emails and phone calls and kept me informed of the case as and when something new came up. From my interaction with Amy, she comes off as a very honest and frank person which I felt was very important - She never sugar-coated the reality, told me things as is, sticking to facts and never indulging in falsely raising my hopes up. So, to sum up, I would highly recommend Amy for any credit related issues that you may have.

Excellent

Amy was very effective in getting my case resolved quickly and with a better outcome than I could have imagined.

Awesome Attorney

Posted by

Amy is great lawyer to work with. She has great knowledge of dealing with credit card agencies and helped to clear wrong credit history/ incorrect debts on my account. I wasn't able to resolve this for the past five years but Amy's assistance greatly changed my case and ultimately resolved it. I can now think of getting car loan/mortgage etc. Amy's promptness in response, good advice, positive attitude and organized approach are very important qualities. I will highly recommend Amy to friends/family.

Absolute Best!

Amy is an amazingly smart and super caring lawyer! She helped walk me through what seemed like a very scary process. She kept me informed, explained things to me in basic terms, and - I felt- as though she always had my best interests in mind.

Caring, intelligent, diligent and well versed in litigation related to debt collection and harassment

Posted by

Amy is extremely caring, intelligent, diligent and well versed in litigation related to debt collection and harassment. She worked with me for over a year to settle a case and at every step of the way from initial consultation to deposition and lastly settlement discussions I felt that I was in good hands and was working with someone who always went above and beyond. Amy was always available via email and cell – which I why I am a little surprised to see comments that she was unresponsive. This is simply not the case at all, and I always found Amy to be extremely proactive with keeping me in the loop on findings and key conversations along her own research and how it could benefit my case. Most of all, Amy put me at ease. It’s not fun to be served with a lawsuit, nor receive several calls from debt collectors at one’s home and business. Amy was there to walk me through every step of the process. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for the same guidance.

Best Attorney Ever!

Posted by

Amy was referred to me by another attorney who said she would be great for my case. She was more then what I expected. She always kept me updated and would return my calls right away if I had any questions. She would always ask me what I thought on certain things about the case before she would proceed on doing them, which meant she would give me options and not doing them without my approval. Amy is not only a great attorney to have but she is also a great person. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

responsible, reliable and committed

Posted by

My initial meeting with Amy Kleinpeter left me feeling that I had met with a caring, informed and dedicated attorney. She graciously gave me a huge amount of valuable information much of which left me feeling some relief and a clearer perspective on debt collections/collectors. She answered every question and advised me not to second guess myself in thinking ANY question was unimportant. She returned my calls and emails promptly. She kept me updated on situations as soon as she received any news. Amy helped me in keeping a positive and responsible focus where I found I could've been very self-judgmental.

Dealership case

Posted by

I hired this lawyer about three months ago and I've only heard from her about two times concerning my case. I'm very dissaponted as to how my case has been handled. This case was very serious and I trusted her to get the job done. I don't know what to do at this time. I've tried calling, and sending emails to the attorney and as of today she has yet to contact me. I've even asked her to withdraw from the case so that I may seek other help. It's like she has dropped from the face of the earth.
Amy Clark's response: Unfortunately I have no idea who you are. It is possible you were a potential client who's claims I was reviewing and I apologize that you felt ignored. 2015 I was out for a disability and working very few hours but it is never my intention to make anyone feel ignored. I hope you found an attorney to take your perspective claims.
