About Amanda
Biography
Welcome,
My name is Amanda Cooper and I began my small practice as a solo-practicioner fourteen years ago.
My practice areas include Juvenile Law, Family Law, Landlord/Tenant Law, and General Practice. I have added two recent cases in each practice area below. Names have been changed to protect my clients' privacy.
In addition, I am also licensed to practice federally in the United States District Court of Massachusetts.
l am licensed to handle VA cases and have practiced Pro Hac Vice in South Carolina.
I believe that everyone deserves equal representation regardless of income. For this reason, I have accepted a number of Pro Bono cases and continue to volunteer my services through a legal aid clinic and The New Bedford Family and Probate Court.
If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Well worth the money!
Amanda was amazing. We as landlords believe she was worth every penny. She got all unpaid rent owed to us plus her lawyer fees. She was honest, reliable and kept us informed every step of the way.
