Elite and Ethical Attorney

Amanda handled my extremely difficult custody dispute and divorce. I was beyond impressed with her resolve in the face of adversity, her commitment to ethical legal strategies, and her advocacy for me as her client. During the most difficult time in my life, Amanda was more than an attorney for me an...d my daughter. She was present, dedicated, and driven towards what was right, not just what I wanted. Her ability to navigate the high emotions involved in the case while maintaining her composure was beyond impressive. For men especially, having someone like Amanda on your side is the best decision one can make. I'm extremely grateful and blessed that Amanda represented me. One of the most advanced attorneys in South Carolina that actually cares about her clients.

She goes the extra mile

Amanda Gallivan handled my custody battle and my divorce. I spoke with a couple other lawyers before I found her, and I am extremely satisfied. Amanda listened and documented all the details of my situation, and then went the extra mile to prove my case in court. She was not willing to settle for any...thing less than what my children and I deserved. She is wonderful, and I am forever grateful!

Best in Greenville area

Amanda handled my divorce. My divorce was a complex and difficult divorce. She handled it with grace, patience, and wisdom. She and her staff are understanding and are willing to walk through one of the most difficult events in one's life. I can not recommend her enough. She is the best!

I wish they could all be like Amanda!!

I have dealt with many attorneys over the years in several different states due to my unique situation and I wish they were all like Amanda. I happened on her profile through this website and took a chance. I hired her to handle an issue in family court. I have never had an attorney that was so qu...ick to email me back or follow up with a phone call. She knows her stuff and has been a lifesaver for me. There is not another attorney on Avvo that I would recommend as highly as I recommend Amanda. Choose her and save yourself wasted time with those attorneys that never return phone calls and leave you hanging for weeks at a time!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
