Amanda Morris Gallivan

I have waited and thought about this before writing. I am glad that others found Ms Gallivan to be helpful. My experience started out fine. I needed a custody agreement for my daughter with my ex who I was never married to. I want to say first and foremost that all the staff and Amanda's paralegal we...re absolutely excellent. I'll keep it short- I had to ask and push for Amanda to go to bat for me. 30 minute meeting? charged an hour. this happened over and over and I get it but all the emails and phone calls and backend requirements I was charged for too I felt like she padded her hours with me. I wouldn't have cared a bit if she was doing her job. She seemed to take the lead from opposing counsel. When I asked "Why doesn't he have to show his full financials but I did?" I was met with annoyance. "won't make much difference and you might end up with less" My child support is going to be reduced after our daughter is out of school- which I pay for. He gets to claim her on his taxes, and I asked if I was entitled to back child support because he had been paying me much less than the state deemed fair for over two years and it had put me in serious financial strain. "You're not entitled to anything but I guess I can ask" I felt like Amanda wasn't on my side- I don't know why and I don't care anymore. I paid a lot of money for a mediocre agreement. I emailed her five days ago asking for 30 minutes of her time because my co parent isn't following our agreement and she hasn't even bothered to respond. I am so deflated and felt defeated.

Amanda is an elite divorce lawyer who was brilliant at listening to my opinions and formulating on-point legal counsel. Her vast experience in the courtroom was clearly evident as she presented my case with artful navigation, bold conviction and consummate professionalism and integrity! As you can i...magine, going through a divorce is immensely sensitive, arduous and emotionally draining. Amanda Gallivan was exceptionally responsive and proactive throughout every phase of the process. I’m truly grateful to have had her and her team in my corner!

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!!!
