Amanda is highly recommended!

Can't say enough about Amanda. She was professional and very supportive during the entire process. Fair price and exceptional handling of my case. Was very pleased with her and the outcome of my case!

Client Review for Speeding Ticket Representation

I hired Amanda's office to represent me on a speeding ticket I received on the Van Wyck Expressway. The cop clocked me going 15 over the speed limit, which Amanda informed me was a 4 point ticket. I couldn't afford for my insurance premiums to go up so I decided to give Amanda a go. Thankfully she su...ccessfully argued to get the ticket dismissed after pushing the hearing date back several months. For the few hundred dollars she charged it was completely worth it (even more so because I didn't have to go to the DMV!). I highly recommend her law office.

Texting while driving ticket

I got a ticket for texting while driving and found Amanda online. She called me back in a few minutes and knew the answers to all my questions. I hired her to represent me at court and she got the judge to throw out the ticket! Im so happy because I have one too many points on my driving record. Aman...da is a trustworthy attorney and I'll be keeping her number in case I need a lawyer again.

Case dismissed!

I was charged with something I didn't do (don't want to go into details on a public forum), and I'm thankful I hired Amanda to represent me. After investigating the matter and arguing to get my case thrown out in court she was successful. I almost started crying because I couldn't believe it. I highl...y recommend her. She's approachable, knowledgeable and was always available. Thanks again for everything, Amanda!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
