Amy E. Olson

Thanks to Amy, I was able to evict a tenant that defaulted on monthly rent payments. Amy was very professional and took time in explaining the process and the associated costs. Amy gave me an overview of the time and effort it takes to accomplish the same. I hired Amy to help me through the ordeal... of evicting a tenant who failed to pay rent on time. At every stage of the process, Amy kept me abreast of all the pros and cons always suggesting the right course. It helped me make the right decisions. In the end she got all the legal aspects covered and got the eviction order from the court. She also helped in recovering the losses including the legal charges. Amy also advised on steps to take to avoid such scenarios in future. I would hire her in a heart beat for any future needs, which I hope I will not have to be in, if I follow her guidelines on leasing a place.

Amy is the best I couldn't have done it without her. I reside in Florida and have property in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Amy is always there to give me the right advice. Helps me in every way possible. Amy always make sure to stay on top of the case till it is fully finished. Will always re...turn her phone calls and emails. Amy is the attorney that you want by your side.

Ms. Amy Olsen is an excellent attorney with a lot of carisma, very knowledgeable and with very strong people skills. She has helped us in different occasions, always giving us the best legal advice as well as putting out there any options we may have, as well as the pros and cons of any course of ac...tion we decide to take based on her advice and explanations of the subject matter. If there’s a decision we need to make, she puts it out there for us to think it through and never rushes us. She has work with us before, she is still working with us in a couple of casa, always with the same diligence as she did with our first casa. We can not say enough how much we appreciate her expertise, her caring and her loyalty to her clients.

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.

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.
