I’m rating based on my full years experience with Amelia. While things went great at first- Amelia was very cordial, professional, and empathetic, she saw where I was being mishandled by law enforcement and treated with contempt by them by way of discrimination. She understood that I was being challenged by not only my case, but the bias and prejudice of the courts. She was able to adapt to all of this and got me a great outcome a year ago.
Now I am at the end of the end of this litigious tunnel, and I’ve sought her counsel again to see it through, having filled all of the requirements on my end to do so in the timeframe allotted. I’m not an attorney nor do I portend to know all the ins and outs of the legal system. I don’t know if I need an attorney to represent me to close out my case, but with the system already having a historic prejudice against people like me, I felt it better safe than sorry to be prepared.
This is where it’s all gone sour. I’ve always presented money up front because I don’t expect free counsel. I’ve always just asked how much money Amelia would want to review the same case she represented me on this time last year. If not to represent me, I’d be just as happy to pay to receive her input on what I should expect and what I need to bring to close out my case. That could be as little as 15m-1hr.
My case is due for review in August. This month. I’ve been trying to reach her through her office for months intermittently/ passively, at most 1 email per month, until this past week where I wanted to give it one concerted effort to establish contact. I called the office twice, left two emails, and received the offices answering service once.
We had a 15m consultation scheduled which she no-call no-showed for. Her office assistant thought that was weird and said he left her a message, which also went unanswered. The emails- one to Amelia and one to her assistant, both went unanswered. The answering service said that they’d pass the message along that I was trying to reach her, which also went unanswered.
That was a waste of days of my time I could’ve used trying to find an attorney that was willing to see things through to the end. If Amelia had something against me personally and didn’t want to take the case- the professional thing to do would be to say as much so I’m not spinning wheels on something that isn’t going to budge. Even hearing as much from the paraprofessionals or office staff would have sufficed. My time is valuable, too. Ghosting isn’t a professional behavior. What a sad outcome to end this experience with.

This is not just a Lawyer this is a battle buddy that will fight for you and with you. She is amazing and even consoled me when I cried. She is a great human being that cares about outcomes and thinks of her clients not just the money or status. Much love to Ms. Amelia and her entire staff. Thank you again 😁

Amelia Power is hands down the most knowledgeable and empathetic and well spoken attorney I’ve ever worked with. The value of what she did for me in my DUI case was unsurpassable. She knows so much case law and was able to effectively apply it to my unique circumstances. Additionally, If you ever need to appeal a conviction, I would highly recommend hiring Amelia for your case.

My wife and I were involved as non-ticketed injured parties in two automobile accidents in 2011. We have just concluded 3-3/4 years of negotiations stemming from those accidents, with the help of our excellent attorney, Ms. Rebecca Albano.
This process involved extended communication with representatives of three insurance companies, the drivers / car owners and their attorneys, plus administrative representatives from more than a dozen medical firms and therapeutic treatment providers. Ms. Albano took care of all the myriad of details, red tape, and paperwork as our legal representative.
At one point, she provided a five-inch stack of accumulated documentation copies to a doctor with the information necessary for him to conduct a comprehensive interview and form an objective medical opinion. This amount of material indicates the complexity of our case, and Ms. Albano’s thoroughness.
Ms. Albano was hired by the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm in part because of her experience as a trial lawyer. We were assigned to work with her from the start, and she was always available to meet as we had questions, progressed with treatments, and submitted innumerable records and bills. Her guidance and recommendations on the litigation process were invaluable, saving us lots of time and headaches. She also was sincerely concerned for our well-being and healing progress, and suggested additional diagnostic / therapy resources to us to help speed our recovery.
We found Ms. Albano to be consistently tough and proactive on our behalf, and very well informed on the whole legal morass with which we were suddenly confronted. We would have been immediately overwhelmed and outnumbered, had it not been for her expertise and caring. She kept us informed, gave us good advice based on her broad experience, and always explained our alternatives then let us make the final decisions along the way.
Naturally, we followed her as she left the law firm where we first met, and initiated her own business. We had built up a great deal of confidence, trust, and rapport with Ms. Albano. She continued to represent us well as we concluded the first settlement, then moved through final mediation on the second.
We feel that Ms. Albano was instrumental in negotiating fair agreements, which provided enough money to pay all of our medical / treatment / related bills, her own fees, and left enough for us to continue with some necessary ongoing rehab / maintenance treatments. She worked hard and successfully for us, and we will definitely call upon Ms. Albano if we have need for an attorney in the future.

Rebecca Albano was honest, attentive and very caring. She truly cares about you and your family. She kept us informed and up to date throughout the entire process. She is very informative regarding the law, she knows her stuff! Our family has used Rebecca for several instances that required an experienced attorney, she has never let us down. She has been consistently helpful and knowledgeable. She changed my daughters life for the better without even having to enter a court room! Thank You for everything Rebecca!!
