Amy was super helpful during a very difficult time going through a rough custody battle. She was always checking on me and making sure all of our ducks were in a row. Amy was always prompt when I needed to reach out to her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable and caring attorney.

I was recommended to Ms. Owen by a friend and I was not disappointed. I went into this not knowing how the divorce process worked and from day one she took the time to explain in detail how everything would go. She took the time to answer any questions i had and made sure nothing was left unknown. I was never left in the dark or wondering what was going to happen next. The communication between Ms. Owen and her team was always on point. They kept me up to date no matter what. I would highly recommend Ms. Owen. I can’t thank her and her team enough for all they have done for me.

Highly recommend Amy Owen. As a lesbian couple, my wife and I searched for a LGBT friendly attorney who would help us with all legal matters pertaining to having a child, Amy was recommended, was highly regarded, and did not disappoint. She was extremely friendly throughout the process and understanding of not only our incessive need to ask questions but met that need with quick and efficient responses which put our hearts at ease. Amy, thank you for the role you played in bringing our family together, we will be back for our second child and will be recommending you to anybody we possibly can!

Amy well versed, and is no nonsense and direct. She handles your case and keeps in touch when necessary. In our family's case, she took the time to discuss our options thoroughly, then took direction from us as to how we wanted to proceed. Amy stood her ground given the circumstances of the case and it was concluded favorably for us rather quickly. We highly recommend Amy.

I was assigned to Amy after my other lawyer left the practice. I was so pleased with Amy for getting my divorce done after the other one dragged her feet. I felt Amy gave me her time when needed and was very caring and explained everything to me when I didn't understand some things. I would recommend Amy to anyone who needs a divorce. Thank you Amy!!!!!

We hired Amy to help our son with a penndot issue. She was excellent at explaining everything that needed to be done with our case. I was very happy with the results and will continue to hire her if ever needed.

My particular case did not require an attorney in court. However, Amy was fantastic to work with. She was able to meet with me at short notice and adequately prepare me to meet with a student conduct hearing. Amy is very professional and thorough with her work. She knew the legal system very well and was able to give me guidance on my case. Amy is a very respectful attorney, and I recommend to all.

Amy did a wonderful job preparing and drafting the family/estate planning documents that I requested. She was very invested and attentive to my needs. She obviously put forth a great deal of effort and it showed! She cares a great deal about her clients, and I would highly recommend her!

Amy Owen provided excellent service for me recently at a Civil Trial. She came well prepared and made sure I was well prepared before my testimony. Her extra effort and research prior to trial are what gave us a favorable outcome. She is very easy to work with and a genuine caring person. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
