Testimonials

Amy’s reports focus on the human side of the client and she routinely finds mitigating factors to be considered at sentencing. Many of my clients, who are now serving a probationary sentence rather than a prison sentence, owe their gratitude to Amy and her work.
Patrick Flanagan, Defense Attorney
If not for Amy’s report, [client] would be waking up this morning at Shakopee [prison].
James Fleming, Defense Attorney
Amy is a wonderfully empathic human being, which makes her such a great mitigation consultant, not to mention a really great person to work with. I have hired her on several cases and referred her to others. What I love about Amy is that she doesn’t judge at all in any moral sense.. she observes, and absorbs and then comes out with the most devastating and on-the-money assessment for criminal purposes.  What has struck me in our encounters with her is how kind she is.  She genuinely tries t… Read more
JaneAnne Murray, U of MN Law Professor and Defense Attorney 
Amy is a creative individual whose persuasive skills and investigative talents have been tested time and time again in achieving tremendous outcomes for our clients. She is a knowledgeable and persistent, caring and compassionate advocate.
Because the nature of her work often transcends the legal issues, Ms. Butler is a good resource for big-picture solutions.

The challenge is getting the court to see the ‘big picture’ and consider facts the prosecution does not always want discussed. T… Read more
Christopher W. Keyser, Certified Criminal Law Specialist/Criminal Defense Lawyer
When stating the reasons why he granted the dispositional departure, he read directly from portions of Amy’s report regarding the client’s background and amenability.
Shawn Webb, Managing Attorney, Law Office of the 4th District
The court noted that the report authored by the Dispositional Advisor was exceptional, and the departure was based on the contents of the report.
Bryan J. Leary, Assistant Public Defender
[Client] is ecstatic and wanted me to personally thank Amy for her hard work!! It simply would not have happened without her!!!
Scott White, Defense Attorney
I just can’t say enough about how much Amy helped me with this case; she worked really hard and gave me great information and arguments to use.
Kirstin Kopp, Defense Attorney
