Very rude

I had asked a legal question on a platform and asked about when a vehicle is towed if they can charge you for days they are closed. She decided to tell me I had a very “entitled attitude “ for asking this question and said that was probably the reason my vehicle had been towed. She has a poor attitud...e and as a divorce attorney I would never hire this lady by how she speaks to people!

It is my opinion that your car got towed because of your attitude with the officer. Normally your car would not have been towed for what you were charged with. When you ask a question on a public forum normal people understand you may get responses you like and you may get responses you don't like. You don't get to dictate how others respond - you simply take the information you get and do with it what you think is best. You seem to think if the answer isn't to your liking that the responder is rude, this is the very definition of entitled and your review not only demonstrates that but also shows my theory of why your car was towed is likely accurate. In short, your car likely got towed because of you and that's simple truth not rudeness.

Would not recommend

Hired for child custody/ paternity issues. Issues were not resolved, and she did not refund any of the 7K flat fee I paid her, or any of the additional fees I paid her for the “piece work” she did before I retained her. She has the term “non refundable” in her contract for legal services which is mi...sleading. If you don’t agree with her “legal strategies” expect her to withdrawal from your case and not refund any of the money you paid her. Also very rude. If you look at previous reviews on google, anyone that left her a negative review she had to clap back, which IMO is very unprofessional.

My policy is to be nice until it is time to not be nice - and frankly, this is as it should be. If I was rude to you - then you deserved it. I told you what needed to be done and you refused to do it. I told you what would happen if you continued to refuse and you opted to continue to refuse. So now bad things are happening to you. You did this to yourself because I gave you more warning than you deserved.

My husband sent divorce papers to family members home where I didn't live at it was done wrong she should have checked to see if was my proper address. I was not served properly how I found out that I was d...ivorce was he mail to his ex girlfriend and she post it on social media. I was not aware of it until she posts it.

If you were the defendant, then you aren't my client and have no standing to submit a review as we never had a consultation nor did I represent you. I represent your spouse and I have zero obligation to you. However, since your review reflects that I did what your spouse wanted and others know that if they hire me I will get the job done for them despite the whining of their spouses - I am good with that.

Unprofessional

I find that Amanda was very unprofessional with her response to a question I stated on AVVO directed towards an attorney I previously spoke to. Instead of her giving her expertise or advice as a licensed lawyer, she make a mockery and joke of my question.

You never consulted with me. You asked a question on a public forum and I answered it. Of course, you had already asked your question prior and had other attorneys answer it, yet you seem to think you know better than them because you have done some 'research'. Bottomline, when you ask a question on a public forum, you do not get to dictate the responses you get. While you clearly would have preferred a different style of answer, you simply aren't entitled to it. I however, am entitled to answer your joke of a question in the manner I see fit. Besides what would be the point of answering your question a second time? You have already asked the question and got responses. Do you really think the answers will change? While there's nothing wrong with getting a second opinion, exactly how many attorneys does it take all telling you the same thing before you become just a giant waste of everyone's time?
