    I have worked with Amy on several cases. She successfully argued our client's position at the appellate level and had the final judgment overturned. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

    I have had the distinct pleasure of working on several matters with Attorney Shield. Her knowledge of the appellate process, combined with her ability to understand the substantive law of the varied issues, makes for an outstanding combination.
