After consulting with several prospective divorce and family law attorneys, I found that Amy Stavis was the best attorney in her field by far. She was so knowledgeable in all areas including child custody and mediation and was also able to salvage an amicable relationship with my ex wife. Our kids have been minimally effected and this is undoubtedly due in large part to Amy Stavis. She's the best family law attorney in Santa Clara county...and believe me, I talked to several of them.

Amy is not a typical attorney. She cares more than most and makes you feel comfortable much more than most. My mediation case was extrmely civil and I think my wife and I owe a lot of that to Amy's professionalism and just staying on top of everything. There were no pitfalls, no surprises. Paperwork isn't fun for any of this but luckily she did most of it and even helped us do our part. The forms get really confusing so it is very nice to have someone be able to explain things in layman's terms.

Would give more than 5 stars if possible. I really appreciated my attorney being so willing to explain the legal process to me in layman's terms. From the moment I met with Amy Stavis, she was honest with me and helped me to understand how the confusing and overwhelming process of legal separation and divorce worked. With her help, my mind was put at ease and I was able to make thoughtful decisions about where to focus my energies. I had not even been aware of the "no fault" rules and once I understood that, I knew that certain things that I cared so much about and that I thought were so important would not actually have an impact on a settlement. Oddly enough, I had met with 2 other lawyers before ever having met Amy Stavis and this was never somehow explained to me. I felt like the others may just have been interested in a financial gain, thinking I could afford to turn everything into a disputed issue. Finding someone honest and up front is what I needed and I was able to obtain a very fair settlement because of the advice that was given to me by Amy Stavis. To this day, my ex-spouse and I are on amicable terms and I think this is due in part to Amy Stavis's personality and input in our case. My ex didn't have an attorney. She actually liked MY attorney and was made to feel comfortable in working out all of out property and child issues (custody). We now can coparent well. This is the best thing I could have asked for considering that we were ending our marriage. Top notch help equals less headaches and less stress.

Ms. Stavis and her paralegal were a pleasure to work with. They were very sensitive to my needs. She knew I was in a tough financial spot and offered me many different payment options. She also told me many ways I can help save on my attorneys fees and costs. Even though a divorce is a terrible situation, working with this office made it a lot less stressful for me.

Don't necessarily think it is common for a client going through the most stressful time in his life to like his attorney as much as I do. Amy has helped me immensely by guiding me thru such a confusing process. She helped me organize my thoughts AND my paperwork and made everything a lot easier. She helped work out a settlement between my wife and me almost immediately and without a huge amount of $. We could not afford for this to drag out and Amy helped to wrap things up after such a short time of us even knowing her. She knows the process well and is obviously very experienced in family law.

Amy was a great family law attorney for me and I would highly recommend her. In fact, i have already given her name to other people. She helped me through complex custody issues in my case and she really cared about the outcome. She is genuinely passionate about her work and that is important. She always answered my questions and she would explain things to me in a way that I could understand. I was well-informed about the whole process and never felt unclear about what to expect because of Amy's guidance.

My experience with my family law attorney was about as good as it can get. She was nice to talk to, she listened to my story and analyzed my situation, and she asked me what was most important to me. Then she worked hard to get me what I most wanted. She is exactly what I wanted in an attorney.

amy was very caring and helpful to me during a rough time. she is smart, responsive, and very on top of things. she had been referred to me by a freind who was also very happy with her services. she seems to care very much about her clients. i've heard that attorneys who do family law can get very burnt out but amy did not appear to be tired of her work in the slightest even though she has done this for quite a long time. she is supportive and her paralegal is helpful and nice also. they work in a nice, small office that is welcoming.

My divorce was the single most traumatic event in my life. I was scared, confused, and felt completely alone. I visited with three other attorneys before a friend recommended me to Amy. As soon as I had my initial consultation and she explained the process to me, I knew I had found the right attorney. Her fees were reasonable throughout the process, I always understood what she was doing, and she was accessible and communicative the entire time. She is the most compassionate and kind person I have come across, and yet she was never afraid to fight for me when it needed to be done. I can't recommend her highly enough. And while I hope you never need a family law attorney, if you ever do, she will make sure you are represented in the best manner possible.

My attorney was very helpful to me during a really tough time in my life. She gave me solid advice so that I could make informed decisions about my case. That is exactly what I needed. A friend referred her to me, and I have thanked that friend a lot for pointing me in the right direction. Because of my experience, I have referred several people to her who have told me that they were happy with her services and liked her a lot. She is really a great person to talk to if you are in need of a divorce attorney.

Amy was my attorney and really showed that she cared about my situation during my divorce. I think that things turned out better for me because of her expertise and professionalism. I would recommend her to others going through similar situations of divorce and custody.

Amy was wonderful in handling my case. She explained each step of the process and kept me informed about what was happening. She returned my calls and emails quickly. Her billing was detailed so I knew exactly what I was being charged for. Although divorces are expensive, I feel that her charges were very fair. I have friends who have spent much more on their divorces. I really liked the fact that Amy seemed to truly care about my case and that she advocated for my best interests.
