Amy is a very knowledgeable attorney & went out of her way to help us with our situation. She was always available when we had questions or concerns. Amy also did not sugar coat the situation for our benefit but told us the truth in order to prepare us for what could possibly happen. All of the false charges were dropped because of Amy’s knowledge & persistence. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing or wanting the best criminal defense.

Excellant Attorney

I am an attorney who had a DUI. I chose Amy to represent me. She was far better than anything I expected. Better yet, her charges for fees were much better than I expected.

Could Not Have Been Happier

Amy helped me through a DUI case a couple of months ago and did an amazing job at making the entire case go smoothly. She was also able to get a number of other charges dismissed that were unjustly given to me. I would highly recommend Amy if you are going through a hard time like I was.
