Not a good experience.....

I’m finally writing a review after realizing what it’s like to have a good attorney.... reflecting back on the recent past of how bad my experience Was with Amanda and her husband Bruce (whom I used to hold high on a pedestal) my review is well over due. I have never cried so hard in my life being fo...rced to agree to a custody arrangement I never would have approved of was like losing a loved one. I felt like I had no voice and the opposing party called all the shots and I was just made to think I had to agree to everything they threw at me! I dealt more with her assistant, who at the time had a very shallow understanding of the legal world in some departments I knew more! Bless her heart she was super sweet but not the right person for the job! I tell everyone of this experience and so happy I finally found one wonderful attorney! Going through a custody battle has been the hardest experience of my life and I lost my dad at 15 years of age..... Amanda didn’t come close in making it any better! Money hungry didn’t felt like they cared whatsoever. If your made of money you may have a better experience sad to say.

Wilmington's best Attorney In My Opinion!

Amanda Mason and her 5 star supporting staff get an AAA+ for the absolutely fabulous work they did for me! They worked on my behalf in the most professional, efficient and cost-effective manor possible. Amanda and her staff kept me advised and were always accessible at a moments notice. Through Aman...da Mason's legal expertise and commitment to excellence I was able to secure my daughter's future and attain permanent sole custody and Mrs. Mason did all this for less than the industry standard in Wilmington. I have and will recommend Amanda Mason to all my friends in the greater Wilmington area!

Amanda Mason

Ms. Mason helped my son and I through a very difficult situation. She always kept us well informed and up-to-date on our case. She used her professional expertise to sort through a mountain of evidence and condense it into an easy to understand and streamlined format for our trial. We felt well p...repared and confident going into court and because of her efforts, she was successful in obtaining a restraining order for both my son and I against an individual who had been harassing us. She did a fabulous job and we are so thankful we selected her to represent us! We would definitely use her again and we would highly recommend her for all your legal needs

Great Consul

Amanda helped by providing me with consul and guidance stemming from an unexpected lawsuit. Her knowledge and expertise helped to successfully resolve the issue and put the matter behind us. Amanda will be my first call if I'm ever in need of consul in the future.

"While we have represented on the immigration part of a case, Amanda Mason handled the criminal defense for our client. She understands the impact on immigration, having substantial experience in immigration law herself. She is responsive and on point, all the time. More than that, I could tell she really wanted to work with us to ensure that the impact on the client's immigration status was minimized. She is a true professional, and is not afraid to go to court to fight for a client's rights. In one case, she even demonstrated that the government's basis for deporting a client was incorrect, so when the client was later charged with re-entering the US, the government had to admit that the initial deportation findings themselves were flawed. A lot of attorneys would not be able to realize that such distinctions can reduce a criminal sentence, and the impact on an immigration case. We were lucky to have her keen eyes on the case."
