What Clients Say About the Kitchen Table Divorce

"Most people use their attorneys for financial advice, but they are not financial professionals and often don't give sound advice. Not only did Amy Colton and her team help me through my divorce, but she was able to set me on a good financial path for the future as I started the next chapter of my life. Knowing I had Amy to help me made me sleep better at night."
—Kelly O.

"By sitting down with Amy Colton and her team, my ex-husband and I were able to successfully negotiate the division of our marital assets and used the attorney to draw up the legal documents and file the court paperwork. Expenses for this ended up being a few thousand dollars, and we finalized the agreement within weeks."
—Jen M.

"After several months of unsuccessful negotiations, I brought Amy Colton in to help create a budget, assist with a fair division of assets, and help with mediation negotiations. Additionally, she assisted me with the financial aspects of my ex-husband's business and prepared endless financial documents for the court, where Amy was an expert witness. Amy helped me through the more than two years I was waiting to finalize my divorce."
—Sara R.
