Amazing attorney.

Amanda Yu. Helped with my divorce, 2/2025. She came in half way through the case, at the most difficult time, and didn’t miss a beat. She was professional and passionate. But most of all, She listened to what I wanted and needed, and she worked very hard to accomplish it. Divorces are hard, and bot...h parties are on edge. So, your attorney should be invested because this is the rest of your life. I can say, Ms. Yu was great. I can’t recommend her enough.

Best family lawyer

I am so pleased to write a review for Amanda. I had reached out to Amanda in 2020 to help me with a separation. Throughout the whole process Amanda has been kind, sensitive, thoughtful, proactive, and nudged me when I needed to be nudged. I've also asked her for support with other practice areas and ...she has recommended me to other incredible lawyers; and even recommended another lawyer in NYC for a friend. She is trustworthy and patient - she handled my million questions without any hesitation and always professional. Truly one of the best!

Excellence!!!

Ms. Amanda Yu represented me in a horrible divorce. She was professional, throughout the entire process. Ms. Yu would contact me many times during the terrible ordeal, ensuring that all the paperwork and information needed were presented. She encouraged me to stay focused as she fought for me making ...sure that what I received was fair. I am happy to say that I was represented quite well and would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Yu to anyone facing horrible family battles. Ms. Yu will fight for you.

Amanda has been an attorney in my divorce case. She has been professional compassionate and takes the time to understand her clients unique needs during a difficult time in their lives. She is knowledgeable and honest and responsive to clients' phone calls. She gets court documents filed in a timely ...fashion as needed. Any client, in the future, who would have Amanda representing them as their attorney would be extremely satisfied with the service provided.

Excellent Family Attorney

I hired Amanda after I fired my initial divorce attorney. Amanda is professional, strategic, understanding, collaborative, and represents her clients with upmost integrity. She helped me refine my initial child custody/support agreement and my prenuptial agreement. I highly recommend her!
