No stars if it was an option.

This woman took $5,500 of mine and did not commence or have one single sit down appointment with me to go over my case. I was sent to court via a letter from her and her assistant (Becky Keys) 2 times! By myself for a class 4 felony offense. This court case was dragged out for 4 consecutive months & ...4 separate court dates. On top of that, the “alleged victim” of my case (all lies and pre meditated accusations on me) skipped 3 court dates in a row!!!!!!! Each time the victim “no-showed” the case was continued. In the end, I ended up with “nolle process” on my record after the victim never once showed to court. This lawyer is one of the most incompetent individuals I have ever ever met in my life. I am going to be pursuing taking action against this firm in court very soon as I almost have the funds ready to take action, and have met with a great lawyer (my fathers business lawyer of 23 years) 3 times now to go over exactly how they’re going to sue this firm unless fully reimbursed when requested to do so in the soon-coming future. My record is ruined because of this, NOT TO MENTION the victim can go open this case again whenever they feel the need. This is absolutely terrible in my case, because the mother of my child is not afraid to lie in oath, and she will in fact take me down with lies once again when she feels the need to. Hence after our custody battle doesn’t go her way (me getting any rights to my child for example)… The victim (mother of my child) lied and I have every ounce / gram of evidence to prove so; however, Amanda NEVER ONCE scheduled an appointment with me so I never got the opportunity to show her the novel full of proof and pre-meditation from the victim.. I was rejected to nursing school because of the incompetence of this practice and I will forever make sure EVERYONE IS AWARE of the level of incompetence that comes out of this firm, specifically from Amanda Newins. TAKE SERIOUS PRECAUTION WHEN HIRING THIS WOMAN!!!!!!

Competent, Experienced and Thoughtful!

Working with Amanda was a breath of fresh air. I come from a family of lawyers and have seen the best of the best at work. She was a continuation of that experience. Oh.....and my sons charges were dropped!
