I hired Araceli after my first attorney became a family law commissioner and had to find another attorney for myself. I had dealt with long term emotional and physical abuse and my ex had an ongoing domestic violence case against him. Araceli and team were God sent at a time when I was also dealing with a major health issue and custody issues. They were compassionate and understanding of what I was going through. Araceli listened and understood my point of view when I had concerns. She also was diligent enough to explain some legal aspects of my case. She was honest in explaining outcomes at different stages and that was very important for me. She may not look very aggressive but she is very smart, knows how to negotiate with opposing counsel and extremely hardworking. I would always get a call back the same day and there is always someone on the team available to answer my questions. I always felt I was in safe hands and was satisfied with final outcome.

Araceli was a great pleasure to work with. I had a lot of questions during my divorce which Araceli answered with confidence and on the dot. I have too many things to put in a review, but I felt extremely comfortable and easy working from the first call and through the finalizing process. Availability, transparency, communication and emphathy were all very important to me and Araceli, Tyler and Amber exceeded all my expectations. I always knew what to expect next and was thrilled with the final result. I can't thank them enough. Have courage to get out of your toxic marriage with Araceli. You deserve to be happy!

We called upon Hanson Baker to advise and offer direction to our HOA community on what turned out to be a very contentious assault on our divisional sovereignty. The attorney assigned embraced our position and provided sound legal direction to resolve the issues at play.

I hired Ms. Amaya, as my second lawyer. I spent a year with my previous attorney feeling unheard, unseen and utterly defeated in a highly contentious and abusive divorce. I was given a recommendation to hire Ms. Amaya, and it literally saved my life and my son’s life. Ms. Amaya is relentless, thorough, brilliant and most importantly one of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met. Our case was brutal, involved domestic violence, substance abuse issues, relentless litigation, and Ms. Amaya handled all of it flawlessly. She listens, provides solid recommendations and isn’t too proud to hear you out. She has a mind for details that is astounding, she makes you feel like you’re her only client, while managing a expansive case load. She was able to secure a victory for my case that no one thought was possible, get essential services required for my ex, protections for my young child and did it all while managing my intense anxiety and fear. A good ER doctor and a good divorce lawyer are two people you hope you’ll never need, but when you do, you pray for someone as talented, empathetic and gifted as Araceli Amaya.

From beginning to the end the team at Amaya law firm kept me informed of every detail of my case. If I had any questions, someone was always quick to respond. She was an advocate of my rights as a parent and fought for a fair settlement. In my opinion there are no "winners" in a divorce but I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Araceli and her team help expertly navigate a situation to establish paternity, set up a temporary and final parenting plan, and establish child support. Araceli's calm, clear, professional, and warm presence gave us much confidence and peace of mind through all the steps, including navigating difficult and stressful things with the other party. Her team is top-notch in legal and process advice, communication, and document preparation and filing. She advised on ways to help navigate the situation cooperatively with the other party. She also encouraged our thinking, collaboration, and drafting of a plan to meet our needs and those of the other party. Highly recommend Amaya Family Law.

Araceli was dynamite to work with. Throughout the monthslong process of revising child support payments she was careful to note each nuanced detail, explain anything I needed, and played the role of the expert partner in navigating the entire process, shifting the burdens of the legwork as the situation evolved to allow me exactly the amount of 'driving' the process as I needed.

Working with Araceli Amaya and the whole team at Amaya Family Law has been a great experience in as much as going through a divorce can be. Araceli always made sure to clarify and communicate throughout the whole process and I always felt like I was heard and that my input was valued. I was referred to Araceli through a friend after I had expressed that the attorney I was working with at the time had little to no communication with me as well as giving me some very bad advice. Araceli fought for me and was very fair and reasonable. If you are going through a contentious divorce, I highly recommend Amaya Family Law.

Araceli helped me with my divorce, which took over a year. Araceli remembered every single details about my divorce/marriage (and my kid's name) to get most out of the divorce case. She is very professional (but also personal) and I really enjoyed working with Araceli. I would totally recommend her if someone is seeking attorney!
