Trusted and hardworking Attorney

Amanda Gallardo represented me during my divorce and made it as quick and painless as possible. I believe she fought for me to get the maximum settlement and I was very pleased with the outcome. Her response time to emails were amazing, even on nights and weekends! When she would write me emails, ...she would bullet point and number different points, making sure she explained everything to me in a clear and concise manner. I even showed my friends and families (most of who have been in a divorce) some of the emails Amanda sent to me during the process. They were so impressed with her writing, format and explanations of every detail. They let me know that a divorce attorney like Amanda is not normal, because she definitely exceeds expectations! I feel confident that working with Amanda and MT in the future for my child custody issues will be handled successfully.

Definitely Recommend

I hired Meriwether & Tharp, LLC to assist me in my divorce. I was assisted by several attorneys and paralegals on the team, but Amanda was the main attorney that I dealt with. She promptly answered my emails and many questions thoroughly. She explained difficult matters and legal terminology that I ...didn't understand, while always keeping the safety of my children and the best outcome for us in mind. She appeared with me in court and her confidence, assurance and wonderful personality put me at ease during one of the hardest times of my life. She is very bright, thorough and did a wonderful job for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce with minor children.

Separate Maintenance Agreement

Amanda helped me through what has been the most difficult process I've faced in life thus far...separation from my wife of 35 years. This was a totally unexpected event and I had no knowledge of the process. Amanda carefully explained every step and provided expert guidance. Amanda was empathetic ...but careful not to tell me what to do, presenting options and leaving the decisions to me. Her professionalism was key to me getting through this process and I will be forever grateful. If life events bring you to the place I'm currently at, I would highly recommend retaining Amanda as your attorney.

Client

Having Ms. Gallardo as an attorney helped to relieve the stress of going through divorce. She responded timely to inquiries and provided regular updates, so that I was always aware of the most recent status of my case. Ms. Gallardo took the time to familiarize herself with my case and she would alwa...ys tell me what my options were when it came down to making decisions. I would strongly recommend Ms. Gallardo to anyone who is seeking QUALITY representation. She’s passionate about her work and she’s not afraid to fight for you. Ms. Gallardo is also very nice and down to earth!

Divorce Jury Trial

Amanda helped me through the most difficult time of my life. Going through a divorce and having it end up going to a jury trial was devastating to me. Amanda explained everything to me as each step came up. She is a very kind and understanding attorney and that is what everyone needs going through a ...divorce. Thank you Amanda. I appreciate everything you have done for me.
