Brian Amaya is an extraordinary attorney whose compassion, responsiveness, and dedication meant more to our family than words can express. He treated our situation with genuine care, moved with urgency when we needed it most, and provided thoughtful, trusted legal guidance every step of the way. As a Latino family, he demonstrated genuine cultural competence meeting us where we were in the moment and deeply understanding the injustice we were experiencing. Ultimately, Brian delivered the outcome we were hoping for and helped our family move forward with peace of mind.

We are beyond grateful that we chose Brian Amaya to represent my fiancée’s son. From the very beginning, he was incredibly personable and immediately put our family at ease during what was a very scary time for us. He took the time to walk us through the entire process step by step, making sure we understood what to expect and answering every question with patience and honesty.
What we appreciated most was that he never gave us false hope or unrealistic expectations. Instead, he was straightforward and realistic while still making us feel confident and secure in our case. His professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor truly made all the difference.

After incorrect legal advice and severe negligence by an attorney resulted in a traffic citation conviction, I hired Brian Amaya to vacate the judgement. It was a long shot, but he meticulously reviewed my documents, contacted witnesses, and obtained statements. During three hearings, Brian exhibited superb speaking skills which convinced the judge to not only vacate the judgment, but also dismiss the underlying case, saving me considerable legal fees. Brian will provide you noble, honest, accountable, and intelligent representation.

I cannot recommend Brian Amaya enough. From our very first meeting, he assured me that he would do everything possible to achieve a positive outcome in my legal case—and he delivered on that promise.
As a Latino, I was looking for an attorney who would genuinely listen, understand, and advocate for me without being dismissive. Brian exceeded my expectations. Being Latino himself, he truly understands the hard work and dedication that our community, people of color go through to achieve success.

Brian instantly made me feel human and like I was heard. Brian helped guide me through each process of the legal system and provided meticulous detail each step of the way. He was always available for updates and to answer any questions I had. He demonstrated patience and empathy when having to answer the same questions I asked multiple times in pursuit of quelling my own anxieties. Brian is intelligent, thorough, confident, compassionate, and humane- traits that I believe are essential aspects of any competent attorney.

I highly recommend Brian Amaya. Finding an attorney is very difficult, finding a great attorney is even more difficult. He is very dedicated to his work. I would get weekly updates on the status of my case. He was very diligent in defending me. And always showed me that he believed in me. He was in constant communication with me throughout my terrible situation. Brian was also very kind to my parents when he interviewed them. We were all under a lot of stress but Brian helped put our minds at ease. His hard work produces great results. He resolved my terrible situation sooner than I thought possible.

The definition of excellence in the dictionary is “the quality of being outstanding or extremely good“ my definition is Brian Amaya. For the past 3 years now I’ve been battling against an unfair system… accused of something I didn’t do. Fortunately I ran into Mr.Amaya. I was with a different firm that was handling my case terribly, and then I made switch to the Abea law firm. They make things so personal, they deal with your case as if you were family, and spend their time as if it was their own family member on the line. Mr. Amaya was able to sort things out almost in the span of a few months to get me the result I was looking for. In the court room I just felt the chemistry with my lawyer, it’s like he knew my case better than I did, and that’s something money cannot buy.

Brian Amaya supported our family with our Compensatory Education Case. He was a fierce advocate for our son. He took the time to get to know my child’s individual needs and was mindful to inform us of the process. He was very easy to get ahold of and was responsive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to any families who are seeking support to ensure that their child’s IEP is being followed and that they are receiving the support that they need and are entitled to under the law.

Had the pleasure of working with Brian Amaya for probably the most stressful and scary time of my life. I couldn’t be more happy with the way he handled literally everything about my case and made things so easy and made sure I understood every step of the way. He genuinely cares about his client and I’m so grateful for him and all his hard work! He sends consistent updates about your case and will handle most of everything. I had an amazing outcome in court thanks to him. He definitely knows what he’s doing, 100% will recommend him to anyone who is dealing with similar legal troubles.
