Amy L Butters Law Offices

I hired Ms Butters for bankruptcy. Paid in full up front. Never would return emails or calls, occasionally would get a response via text. She scheduled our court date exactly when we said we were out of the country and would not reschedule. Had to pay filing fee twice. Then after 3 years of fully paying off bills, she texts and says if I want the bankruptcy discharged from her office I needed to pay her another $450. Extortion I think that is called. I had to pay it but I will never recommend her for any thing. Very poor poor service and dishonest. more

Amy L Butters had the look of a capable attorney, but boy were we wrong. She NEVER kept us up to date on anything unless we called and emailed her a bunch of times. She is a waste of time and not able to handle legal situations. She was very good at taking our money though. more

We had two active cases with her for over a year, and now had to rehire new lawyers and redo everything she was suppose to do. One of our cases was a divorce case. It got dismissed in Aug. because she her office failed to file paper work, yet she did not tell us and let us go to the parenting classes we were told we needed to attend. It was not until the first part of next year, when we called the court on our own, that we found out the case had been dismissed 6 months prior. When confronted about this, she acted surprised, as if she didn't know. She informed me that she would refund my filing fee because of her error, and that a check would be issued in "10 business days". I never saw the check, and she would never return my email. We filed several bankruptcies thru her office, each one of them getting dismissed because her office would not file paper work or comply with the Trustees requests. She if famous for never returning emails and has zero sense or urgency. We wasted a year of our life's with her office because we are now having to redo every legal action, and pay for it again, out of our own pocket due to, her my opinion, her gross negligence. When asked if she would compensate us for everything, she claimed that everything she did was "billable hours". The State Bar has been informed of her "billable hours" conduct and the United States Bankruptcy Trustee Office will be notified as well. along with New and media outlets and several other outlets. In my opinion, you should not waste your time or your money in dealing with this office. She turns your legal matters into such a dog of a case, you would do better by having the Human Society represent you. more

I only gave 4 stars, because their office much smaller than the other 3 I met with...but then again It also felt more personal. I LOVED the videos they had on their website because it was like they had read my mind and knew exactly what was stressing me out. Others simply wanted me to just trust them and get going, but these guys took the time to answer the questions that were keeping me up at night. I really expected to be ran through like another number, but it was nice to be able to be heard and get some great answers. The guy on the phone reassured me about my foreclosure and helped me see how we could not only save the house, but make it more affordable so we could quit wasting time with a loan modification thats been going no where. I was so impressed, that I had to say something so if anyone else is looking for a great lawyer to help with bankruptcy they can call and see what I did. I'll be hiring them...well, as soon as we get our taxes and stuff anyway! =) more
