Amalia demonstrated an unparalleled ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring I felt informed and empowered throughout the process. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in reviewing all aspects of the agreement showcased her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. Beyond her legal acumen, Amalia exhibited genuine empathy and professionalism, providing a sense of reassurance during a challenging time. I am profoundly grateful for Amalia's exceptional guidance and support, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and proficient family lawyer.

I interviewed other lawyers before deciding to work with Amalia. Other lawyers wasted time telling me anecdotes that were not relevant to my case, and did not give me the sense that they would advocate or support me through this process. That was not the case with Amalia. The first thing that impressed me was how extremely efficient she is. She will not waste your time or money! She is caring, professional, and kind. I am grateful I found her services.

Amalia's expert guidance and knowledge of case law is a huge reason that I survived the devastating blow of my divorce. When I was off balance and reeling, she was firm, fair, and honest, when working with my former spouse and her counsel. Amalia worked well with the opposing counsel, guiding them in the nuances of Collaborative Family Law, when opposing counsel was new to the process. She ran excellent and efficient meetings, and was fair and transparent in all administrative and financial matters. I really can't thank her enough for the help she gave me and my two sons. Honestly, it is hard to speak of positive experiences when revisiting my divorce, however my counsel, was a positive. Amalia Schön was the reason it turned out the way it did - fairly, expediently, without any time in court, and keeping the best interests of both of my two sons front and centre in the process.

Separation and divorce is a very challenging process for everyone involved. Amalia and her collaborative approach guided me through an uncertain time and I am very thankful for her help. I believe more people should consider this alternative to the old paradigm of divorce proceedings.

Amalia Schön helped me alot during some of the darkest days of my life. I took a chance on Amalia, not knowing where to turn for help and never before finding myself in need of a Family lawyer, I did not have a clue whom to choose online.
I found Amalia Schön online and the thing I remember most was she called herself more of a mediator in Family law than just a divorce lawyer, Amalia negotiated a fair settlement when all communications had ended and no resolution was possible on my own when my commonlaw relationship had ended very badly and abruptly. Amalia was always very professional and always responded to my queries and problems in a timely manner. Amalia Schön offered me good value, she is a quality family lawyer and mediated a fair settlement without anyone involved ending up in court.
Amalia Schön Family Law, comes highly recommended as family mediator/lawyer by myself, I am very happy with her services and recommend her when and if you should ever need a Family lawyer!

There were many times during my family law case where I wanted to give up and leave this all behind me, however Amalia was a fierce advocate for me and ensured that I fought for what I deserved. She was also very responsive and ensured that things moved forward at a reasonable pace so that the matter could be resolved as quickly as possible. Her fees were very competitive and reasonable.

Ahhhh, how did my separation agreement go? Well is anyone's separation fun? Probably not... but as far as the legal stuff went, Amalia was a joy to work with. It's always daunting retaining a lawyer because we all know they seemingly bill by the millisecond... but Amalia has time efficiency and friendliness as well as expertise and professionalism at the forefront of her service offering. I really appreciated Amalia getting my separation agreement done... very thoroughly and as seamlessly as possible.

I approached Amalia Schon to deal with a really complex case. Over the years, I have interacted with many lawyers over various family and business issues. By far she has been the most personable and cooperative lawyer that I have encountered. At every time, she tried to find solutions that in the long run reduced litigation and the costs associated with them. I am highly satisfied with her services and professionalism and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce or separation. You not only will save money, but you also will feel much better from having a lawyer who takes into consideration the human side.
