A kind and professional lawyer

I have hired Amanda to help with a custody of my granddaughter. We have been in contact from age 2 till present day she is 13. Having to deal with her parents has proven many times to serious trivial and down right actual real life drama! She has understood me every time I have called her talked me... through it and 9 times out of 10 solved the issue. She is so kind , knows how to talk to you to understand everything. I have never been let down by her. I trust her to do the job I hired her for.

Do not hire for custody

I would not recommend this lawyer. Very passive, does not fight for her clients. She makes you think she has your best interest but all she really does is make deals

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Amanda K. Forester-Cannon assistance throughout this process. Thank you so much for being so supportive, thorough and intentional every step of the way. As a mother seeing the pain my son endured during his child custody process was heartbreaking, but Amand...a's efforts provided me the peace of mind needed and also a successful outcome. My family and I are so grateful to spend quality time with my grandson.

Mrs. Magnificent litigator

This unfortunately wasn't my first divorce, and my first rodeo with Amanda as my lawyer! In the first divorce she handled for me, I noticed right away how she took the reigns and made sure my rights were addressed and protected, but she didn't stop there! My well-being, and my mental were being prote...cted also! Amanda knew that a long drawn out divorce would've benefited me in the long run, but the outcome of a lengthy divorce would've really taken its toll on me physically, and mentally, and in the end the divorce was swift and amicable for both sides. Fast forward to my wife cheating on me last year 2022 and me once again seeking an attorney, and low and behold the stars aligned, and I found Ms. Cannon again. After the staff heard of my last hoorah with Amanda we all had a chuckle, but then it was strictly business! I paid the retainer gladly, and the rest is history. She again laid out a plan of attack, one to protect me, any financials, property, and lastly, once again, my mental health and my well-being! The outcome was tantamount to the first atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It was an awakening to my now exwife as to whom was representing me in the divorce matters. The divorce was swift and decisive! I am very proud to have had her a my attorney, and I consider her friend to the end! The firm has a winner, with Amanda Forrester Cannon on the legal staff.... Professional, Knowledgeable, Fair, Just, Stoic, and a winner hands down! I think her so much, and the entire staff for one hell of a positive experience. James Leon Brummell
