Weis O'Connor LLC

Overview:
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 attorney. She’s earned her reputation by sparing her
clients the financial and emotional drain of contested family law litigation
through amicable settlements whenever possible. If a case cannot be resolved
through a settlement, Amy is known as a fierce litigator in the courtroom.
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.
A magna cum laude graduate of Capital University Law School, Weis was admitted to
the Ohio Bar in 1996. Currently, she serves as immediate past-president of the
Ohio chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Previously, she
served as the organization’s president and vice president. In 2002, she was
chair of the Domestic Relations Committee of the Franklin County Trial Lawyers
Association.
Recognized by Ohio Super Lawyers® from 2009 thru 2014, Amy has been named
one of the Top 25 Columbus Women Lawyers from 2010 to 2014, and named one of
the Top 50 Women Lawyers in Ohio from 2011 to 2014. She has also written on the
law and lectured on its practice. In 1997, she co-authored “Using Discovery to
Your Client’s Advantage,” which the Ohio CLE Institute selected for publication
in its “The Best of Family Law 1997″ publication.
Amy enjoys creative writing, spending time with her dog, Sydney, traveling, and
golfing – although she’s been told her golf skills pale in comparison to her legal
skills.
