Awesome Attorney we got sole custody in a 3rd party case

Amanda is a brilliant attorney! Although we are not related to them by blood, we raised our two girls for years, but nothing was in writing. Then all of a sudden their parents decided to "take them back." We were devasted with grief. We went to Amanda hoping to get shared custody, but if that wasn't... possible, at least visitation with the girls. Amanda was flawless in the courtroom and we were awarded sole physical and legal custody.

Amanda was TRULY EXEPTIONAL

From start to finish my experience with Amanda was flawless. She was always quick to return my calls and emails. If she was not available she would have someone in her office call me. She was knowledgeable and compassionate. I have nothing but positive things to say about her. I don't live close to h...er office, but she was worth the drive. Thank you for being you, YOU ROCK!

very pleasant experience dealing with an extremely unpleasant situation

Amanda was a ray of sunshine in a very dark period in my life. i had been struggling with "obstacles" other attorneys would not and/or could not handle. my case was definitely an uphill battle and although ms. Schmidt was quite honest about the difficulties we had to deal with,, she was unafraid to ...take on such a daunting task. throughout the entire (custody) case she handled everything with an exceptional balance of professionalism, compassion and tenacity. in the end, a settlement was put on record which was beneficial to all parties... most importantly my daughter. She was the best attorney out of three previous that I had it is my opinion this woman is a shining example as to what is RIGHT with our judicial system. rest assured, with ms. Schmidt representing, you will have one of the best and brightest lawyers in Anne arundel county on your side! thank you from the bottom of my heart you made a very difficult situation much easier for me.

Highly recommend Ms. Schmidt

I retained Amanda Schmidt for a domestic violence case. I had successfully obtained a protective order against an ex-boyfriend and he contested it, and then appealed the order to Circuit Court. In both cases, her professionalism and knowledge led to the order being kept in place. She understood my fe...ar and provided emotional support as well as expert legal advice. I highly recommend Ms. Schmidt and the team at Ward Pratz & Associates.

Avvo Rating

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.
