WHAT STEPHANIE EVERETT HAS TO SAY ABOUT AMY:

Offline, you’ll find her:

Doing boot camp-style workouts—the sweatier, the better. Hanging out at a family cottage and going for walks, sitting on the dock, visiting with family and friends, or reading (usually business books). You’ll also find her cheering on her kids at their team sports—hockey, baseball, and basketball.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise AND why now is the best time in history for lawyers to start their own law firms.

“My practice would not be where it is today without Amy’s assistance…

There has been so much progress in just 3 months while working with Amy. I have accomplished things that have been on my to-do list for over 2 years. Amy is very kind and laid back, but underneath she is made of steel—this is who you want on your team of professionals!”
