Worst best interest lawyer

If there was a way to give 0 stars I would. There is absolutely no communication. She refuses to speak with 1 parent (tho expects them to still pay). Appointed as a best interest lawyer for a minor but really just becomes buddy buddy with one of the parents and does anything to make sure that parent... gets what she wants. No matter how many times you reach out, she won't return your calls. Father's save your time and money, she only cares about the mother

TOOK ALL THE WORRIES OFF MY MIND

Highly recommend Amanda for your Family legal needs. She is pleasant and professional. Great in communicating and always gives updates regularly. Her expense is fair and well worth it. She is always honest with you whether it’s good or not so good news. She always has a positive attitude about t...he situation and doesn’t waste any time getting to work for you.

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

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

No Communication. Sketchy.

You will not get any 1 on 1 contact with this attorney. You will be referred to a rude receptionist. Good luck getting email replies. I recommend hiring a competent attorney with people skills.
