Posted by Jobim | April 6, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knowledgeable, Capable, Expediant

Attorney Kurecian accomplished in a matter of days what two previous attorneys could not provide for months: closure to a rather simple case that was turned into something else by an aggressive opposing counsel and apathetic attorneys who did precious little to protect my rights or my children's best... interests. If you have been served with divorce papers and you have not been unfaithful or abusive and have done your job as a husband and provider, you are not likely to do do better than Attorney Kurecian. My only regret is I didn't find her 2 years ago.

Child Custody

Amanda was a great choice and did an excellent job in obtaining emergency and permanent custody with the courts. My case dealt with out of state issues and grandparents right. Amanda is very subtle but don't let that fool you, she knows the law! I like her flat rate fees also. You know what to pay ve...rsus different fees as the case prolongs.

Excellent lawyer

I spent three years trying to find a lawyer who would help me with my divorce. My case was not big enough for them to take on. Amanda Kurecian listened to me and my concerns and in less than a year I've got back on my feet, finish school and kept my marital home.

Professional

I was extremely satisfied with her service. Amanda went above and beyond to ensure that my divorce was finalized quickly and if your someone like me that get stressed easily over the paper work and the legal aspects. Amanda will take her time to explain and assist as much as possible. I think my case... required more research since I'm out state, which would explain not getting quick response to questions asked.Overall I felt very comfortable and was impressed with her work ethics and would recommend her to anyone that desire her service.
