Amy Jo Weis

As a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) and one of Super Lawyer’s Top Women Lawyers– honors not easily earned –Amy Weis is a highly respected Columbus divorce lawyer.

Her greatest professional satisfaction is knowing that she leaves her clients better than when she found them, often by empowering them with the knowledge of what to expect, what their entitlements are and by counseling them through the course of their domestic dispute – from start to conclusion. In addition to her expertise in family law and family divorce law, Amy has expanded her knowledge through the AAML to include high profile client contested divorce cases, valuing interests in private equity investments, intricacies of executive compensation and even pet custody.
