Amy E. Olson

My fiancée and I were in the process of closing on our first house, and so we came to Avvo to find an attorney to help us with that. We came across Amy and based on her ratings, we decided to go ahead and have her help us with all the closing documents. I could not have been more pleased with how eve...rything went. Amy is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and communicative. We had no idea what we were doing (or what we were in for) and Amy took us through the whole process. She explained everything step by step, making my fiancée and I feel much more comfortable with the whole thing. We ended up closing on the house in about 30 days (which was originally planned for 45 days), and even though it ended up being a shorter sale, Amy was able to be very punctual and timely with getting all the documents ready. There were times where the sellers/sellers attorney were not getting us the forms back that we needed, and Amy had no problem contacting them and letting them know to get on it. I would highly recommend working with Amy.

We have worked with Amy on multiple occasions. We first hired Amy when we sold our house. She is extremely hard working, efficient, and professional. She did an excellent job communicating and walking us through the sale process. A year later, we worked with Amy on the sale of my father's home a...fter he passed away. She impressed me with her knowledge while still being empathetic during a difficult time. We also hired Amy to help us create a trust. She was clear and concise helping us prepare documents and gathering information. It is evident that Amy is passionate about her work. She made us feel like we were working as a team, and she was an excellent leader. Se is well versed in her area of law. I would hire her again in a second. I highly recommend Amy Olson.

I hired Ms. Olson to represent me in an eviction with a family member, which should have been a fairly straightforward and expeditious matter. However it was far from either. There are many things I could share about Ms. Olson's representation. However to place perspective, I am sharing the following... example that occurred early on in my case. After the 2nd continuance opposing counsel failed to appear at the scheduled hearing. As a result, the Judge granted the Order for eviction, which was the outcome I was seeking. About (45) minutes later opposing counsel arrived and her and Ms. Olson went in front of the Judge. Ms. Olson asked the Judge to tear up the Order he had just granted and he did. Opposing counsel had not entered her appearance and was allowed to represent her client previously and again on this very day Ms. Olson asked the Order to be torn up. Ms. Olson never shared any of this with me. I only learned of this when I ordered the transcripts because of mounting concerns. Ms. Olson was charging me a flat fee and her hourly rate would kick in if there was going to be a bench trial for the eviction. By her asking the Judge to tear up the Order, she ensured there would be a bench trial. After what was supposed to be the bench trial things became markedly worse as a result of her representation. The eviction was finally granted after (7) months. Ms. Olson not only exploited the fact I was out of town but displayed no empathy or urgency in an already difficult real estate family matter.

I was very pleased with Amy. This was my 3rd experience with lawyers and I found her to very refreshing compared to other lawyers I have dealt with in the past. She was very knowledgeable and always responded to my questions, whether phone or email, by the end of the day. In fact, she consulted with ...me several times before I officially hired her as my attorney. I became a bit emotional after the proceedings (we won, but my tenant said some disappointing things) and she was very supportive. You can tell she is genuinely kind hearted. I highly recommend her
