Amy A. Huff
Considered by her peers to be a father’s rights advocate, Attorney Huff is "one of the tough ones" among divorce lawyers. Known as the “go-to lawyer” for dads who feel like they’ve become mere visitors or babysitters for their children, Amy helps fathers who have been or are being threatened with being denied access to their children. She stands up for fathers everyday, addressing child support, child custodial labels, and parenting plans as she takes a proactive approach to prevent any reduction in her client’s parenting time and decision-making over educational, medical, and religious issues.
In extreme and troublesome cases that border on parental alienation, both Amy and Lucas make life for their client’s wives’ hell, believing that an aggressive approach is often the only way to discover the truth when it comes to behavior that is truly contrary to the best interest of a child.
Also known as a financial wizard, Amy tackles divorce finance issues with both men and women that other attorneys rarely address or even think about. While she may not have created the statement, "Cash is King," but it’s definitely her mantra. Rarely will a day go by where Amy doesn’t emphasize to clients the concept of inflation, the time value of money, and the risk-free nature of cash.
Amy Huff’s business background and her analytical mind are unique assets when one or both of the parties to a divorce have business ownership interests. The needs of a divorcing business owner and his or her spouse are different, and Amy represents either party in a contested divorce action. When representing the operator of the business, her primary focus is on keeping business assets from being frozen and making sure her client’s business interests continue with its day-to-day operations. When representing the spouse, she works day and night searching for hidden assets, evaluating real estate and business property, tracing bank accounts, and documenting deposits and cash withdraws.
Some of the more common situations that Amy faces in discovery are underreporting of assets and income, the delay of bonuses, stock options or raises until a time when the income would be considered separate property, or the chance that a business owner spouse would make repayment to a friend for a phony debt, or even attempt to hide or transfer retirement accounts that you never even knew existed.
Amy is a Suffolk University Law School graduate and received Magna cum laude honors.
