TESTIMONIALS
 "I have been very impressed, not only by how extremely knowledgeable my attorney, Amy Rodney, is, but also by the kindness and compassion she has shown me during this very difficult time in my life. Furthermore, I am appreciative of her accessibility. She handled my case expeditiously to a fair conclusion. I highly recommend Amy." Andrea S., R.N.
"Making that initial phone call to a divorce attorney's office was the most difficult thing I had ever done. By the time you finally make that call, you've been through a lot. I don't know what I expected from that first call, but it wasn't that I'd end my conversation with a warm feeling because the paralegal I spoke with really listened to me, gave my life validation, and assured me, "Kim, you didn't do anything wrong; you're a good person." It was great to be able to get some reassurance over the phone and not just hear, "O.K., Thursday at three -- be here."
When I met Amy Rodney, who became my attorney, she had already reviewed the paralegal's notes, was familiar with my situation, and we were ready to get down to business. I remember the feeling of relief I had when Amy looked at me and said, "Kim, I'm going to take care of you." And, she has taken care of me in the kindest and most professional manner I could hope for. Throughout the process, I have been impressed with her knowledge of the law and her negotiating skills. I highly recommend the law firm of Conner, Lawrence & Rodney. " Kim
