Amanda Stone Swart

I recently finalized my divorce and Ms. Stone Swart was the attorney I hired. Both herself and Ms. Fernandez were beyond helpful. They guided me through the whole process, answered any questions I had and fought for my best interests. I would highly recommend hiring Ms. Stone Swart if you are going through a divorce.

Amanda was great during a very difficult time. She was responsive, empathetic, answered all of my questions and explained the options. I asked a lot of questions and I appreciated her thoughtful responses.

Amanda Stone-Swart has worked diligently in resolving a difficult, vitally important family law matter on my behalf. Her representation lead to progress on my case that I would not have otherwise achieved. She is highly knowledgeable, always professional, fair with billings and truly cares about her clients. I appreciate Amanda's astute ability to quickly assess a situation and think on her feet. I am extremely pleased with the service she provides.

Amanda was fantastic to work with. I originally met with her for a consultation. She immediately made me feel comfortable. She was quick to respond to my questions, helpful and provided invaluable guidance to me. Her paralegal, Jenny, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Their receptionist, Amanda, was always helpful and very pleasant on the phone. I feel they were extremely fair with billing and worked quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend working with Amanda and her staff.

Amanda was fantastic! She was the BEST attorney I have ever met and did an outstanding job on my divorce. She displayed a high level of expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism. Thanks to Amanda I won everything I wanted in court.

Amanda and her team were amazing. Through a very hard time in my life Amanda and her team were able to provide guidance and support to help with my situation. She always looked out for the best interest for myself and my young daughter and was very sensitive and understanding. The team was always available at a moments notice for anything that came up and very timely in all aspects of the process. Amanda was always very professional and knowledgeable about any question or situation that came up. I am very grateful to her and her team and highly recommend them!

I had the pleasure of hiring a team of women that get the job done, Amanda and Jenny. By no means was my divorce the most complicated in the history of human matrimony, but to me it was the only one that mattered. My mother told me to hire an attorney who was a bulldog, so I needed a team who would not fold like a lawn chair when faced with manipulation. I was confident this is what I got. They never seemed to have any interest in mind, other than mine. From day one, I was comfortable communicating with them and had confidence that I made the right choice. I never had to wait for a response to any question I had. My divorce was complete in less than a year and they made every effort possible to keep the costs down wherever possible. I highly recommend the services of Amanda and Jenny. Thank you. :)

I believe that Amanda Stone Swart and her team - specifically Jenny Peshoff did an excellent job helping me through a very difficult situation - my divorce. From my first meeting with Amanda - I thought I had found an attorney that would take care of me in providing me with the best guidance in getting a acceptable resolution for my divorce - and I was correct. Amanda and Jenny took care of my divorce professionally and made me feel like family - they always made time to help me understand what was happening - why it was happening - and what to expect in the future. I think aspects make Amanda and her team different. To be honest Amanda and Jenny helped provide guidance to my ex-wife's attorney. Often they were late with information or it was inadequate - they patiently informed him - again - what was needed and why. And when necessary provide strict guidance on what was needed and potential fallout if they did not provide the requested information. I have mentioned Jenny for a specific reason - Amanda is a very busy person which I believe is an indication of how good an attorney Amanda is - and Jenny was always available to help me with answering questions or relaying information to Amanda. Being able to always talk with Jenny while going through the divorce helped ease a lot of my concerns and anxiety. I was so impressed with Amanda and her team that I provided their names to a friend going through a divorce and he is using them as his divorce attorney. I can not say enough positive things about Amanda and Jenny - the best words I can use - I am glad they helped me. And they helped bring an acceptable resolution to my divorce. I have and will continue to recommend them as a team to use when going through a divorce.

I contacted Livesay & Myers initially for consultation to get advise on how I should start the divorce process. Amanda was readily available and I got a good sense that she understood my situation. I hired her to help throughout the divorce process, give me guidance on what my legal rights were, and draft any necessary legal documents. My case took some twists and turns during the process and I was always able to get hold of Amanda. Her communications with opposing counsel were fast, accurate and to the point. Her communication with me as to what had taken place was excellent! And really, that is the most important thing. Divorce is a chess game and not knowing what the last move was will cause unneeded stress! I would (and have) recommend Amanda to anyone needing the services of a divorce lawyer. In addition, Amanda has surrounded herself with helpful and friendly work associates. I've dealt with many of them and always had prompt, friendly experiences.

My experience with Amanda Swart and para legal Jenny Peshoff was very good. This was my first exposure to the court system in Virginia and they were both very patient, knowledgeable and were able to explain everything to me in layman terms so that I fully understood what was to lay ahead. They were also very good to keep my best interests and the best interests of my children as their number one priority.

I had a child custody case. I didn't know what to expect and was extremely uneasy about everything. Amanda and her Paralegal, Jenny were amazing!!!! From the beginning they were both very reassuring and made sure I understood each process fully. My case was handled professionally and efficiently.

From the moment I first called Livesay & Myers to research an attorney for a separation and divorce, it was clear Amanda and her team were both knowledgeable and accessible. Amanda was incredibly professional but very personable during my initial consultation, laying out what seemed like a complicated process in a very clear fashion that made it much less daunting. She and her paralegal team not only assisted through every step of the process of drawing up paperwork for the separation and divorce, but also went above and beyond in assisting with a separate legal complication that arose as part of a refinance. No matter her schedule, Amanda could always be reached through her paralegal team and far surpassed any expectations I could have had. Her office always kept in clear communication, both by phone and email, and she personally saw to the resolution of what could have turned into a much more complicated situation for me. She ensured my divorce went smoothly and incredibly quick, and her knowledge and caring—as well as that of her team—helped me through a very difficult life event. Although I have not had any other interactions with attorneys or firms, I am confident that Amanda and the Livesay & Myers paralegals set the standard and have the best intentions for their clients.

I engaged the services of Amanda Stone Swart, Esq., to assist me with handling an aggressive attempt by my former spouse to radically change what, until now, had been a perfectly workable custody arrangement for the children and both parents. Amanda was very approachable from the beginning, quickly understanding the issue and worked with me to formulate a plan of action. We were successful in coming to a workable compromise which all parties appear to be comfortable with (considering issues such as this are rarely ideal). I highly recommend Amanda and her colleagues and, although I hope never to require her services again, I will definitely turn to her should the need arise.

Divorce is very tumultuous and disruptive and having the right advocate is crucial to finding your way to a stable future. Amanda S. Swart was a knowledgeable and strong advocate for my children and me. Our situation was complicated and painful, and she stood with me and helped my children and me find a new normal for our family. I am confident that we are much better off now than we would have been otherwise--because Amanda was my attorney and solid advocate. She was realistic and smart in charting a path through the legal maze and even nightmare divorce can be and certainly was. I am very grateful for her professionalism and legal expertise and I highly recommend her. Amanda will do all she can to support you and secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Amanda was a world of help during the dissolution of my marriage. She was very compassionate and caring. I was able to rely on her to have accurate information and quick responses to my questions. She was highly knowledgeable of what I needed to think about in regards to my future financially and the future of my children. Her advice helped establish a custody arrangement that was agreeable to both parties. Amanda was so supportive of me during the most difficult time of my life. Her dependability made me comfortable with the decisions I was making. There is no question that she had my best intentions in mind. I highly recommend her services.
