Q&A with Amy S. Kapner
How can your representation make a difference?
My representation can make a difference because I truly listen to my clients. I am able to empathize with my clients in order to best understand what they want, or counsel them when what they may want, ultimately, based upon the law, may not be in his or her best interest.
How do you work with clients?
My client skills include showing patience and compassion, acting strategically and connecting personally.
What value do you deliver to clients?
I think clients gain the most value from my empathy, patience and focus on the big picture.
What is your favorite part of your work?
I enjoy working closely with people during a challenging time in their lives in a way that helps them achieve clarity about their future. I also really love getting to know people on a personal level.
Where did you grow up?
I was raised in Monterey, CA, and left the area to attend Northwestern University and Loyola Law School.
