Dozier Miller Law Group

I had wonderful experience working with Amanda and Meghan at the Dozier Miller Law Group! They were kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and had an keen attention to details! I had worked with other family law attorneys, however Amanda and Meghan were above the rest and surpassed my expectations!...

Relationship: Co-worker

"Amanda Cannavo is one of the most dedicated family law attorneys with whom I have had the pleasure to work and that Charlotte has seen in a long time. Did I mention she is incredibly smart and thorough? She is an advocate for her clients and that dedication extends far beyond the facts of the case. Through her thoughtful analysis, and her penchant for creating ideas, her clients are able to believe in themselves AND to think outside of the box in order to find the best resolution. I’ve worked with Amanda since Sodoma Law opened, and still today. I know she has the drive to do whatever it takes to protect her client and be their voice. In addition to her perseverance, Amanda, now licensed to practice in both NC and SC, understands the importance of having a breadth of knowledge to support clients that come from hundreds of miles away. I am proud to call Amanda my friend and colleague, and look forward to seeing her leadership at Sodoma Law continue to grow."

  • 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.
