• How much does it cost to hire Amie for a child custody case?

  Amie is licensed in Minnesota. Matters governed by Minnesota law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Amie will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Amie?

Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Amie will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
