Amy’s the Best

If you are looking for someone who is genuinely passionate about your case, please do not hesitate to reach out to Amy! I am currently located in Texas but that did not stop Amy from efficiently communicating with me about my case. Amy checks in with my family even after handling my case, just to che...ck the status of everything. She truly cares whole heartedly and honestly she deserves 10 stars!

You won't find a better lawyer; truly the last of her kind

I've been through half a dozen lawyers and they all promise the world and seem to fired up to take you on as a client for the initial consultation and then they all suddenly become unreachable and couldn't care less until it's time to make another payment. Frankly I was sick and tired of all lawyers ...until I met Amy. She genuinely and wholeheartedly will care for her clients. I was truly in disbelief after hiring her to see how much she cared especially having experienced and hired other reportedly top lawyers. She is astonishingly oriented to details, very familiar with the law, will not let the opposing lawyer get away with anything and it is apparent that they are scared to face her in court. She thinks very quickly on her feet and is highly respected by the judges. Amy has finally allowed me to sleep at night knowing I'm in good hands and my money is well spent. It's hard enough to have to deal with legal matters, divorce and custody and much harder when you get stuck with a greedy and careless lawyer which has been my experience with most in the past; so Amy was truly a Godsend. I would recommend her to anyone who has burned by lawyers and gotten nowhere in the past. She will most certainly turn things completely around for you and protect you as she has done for me. Forever grateful for all you have done for me counselor.

I am so speechless at your kindness. You are the reason I went to law school, get up in the morning, do my job, and keep fighting! I am so honored to be your attorney. I will always be your greatest advocate. Knowing that you sleep well at night and have restored your faith in my profession is the greatest gift. You are an amazing parent and deserve all good things.

Excellent advise and service!

Amy was fantastic in every way. I don’t even know where to begin. She’s kind and attentive and understood the situation I was in regarding having my child support and alimony reduced. I was struggling financially to be able to pay my Alimony and child support which was set at $3600 a month! Which I ...paid for almost 5 years. Amy got it reduced to $270 and saved my life. She is prompt in returning messages and calls. She’s professional and kind, a combination that’s hard to come by. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Amy ! No words can express the relief you have given me.

Compassionate, Intelligent, and hard working attorney

Amy spent an inordinate amount of time with me on the phone discussing my case in order to get familiar with it. I anticipate moving forward and retaining her.
