Awful

I had to change attorney mid way through my divorce because I was being charged outrageously compared to the work being done. No legal advice whatsoever and I felt never had my best interest at any point. Don't waste your money! Plenty of other divorce attorneys out there. Do your research.

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.

Dedicated Support

Amanda was empathetic to the process and kept both sides on task. Extremely responsive snd knowledgeable.

Posted by anonymous | April 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Delinquent Alimony Payments

Attorney Amanda Gallardo deserves my highest praise for recovering delinquent alimony payments! She is painstakingly meticulous with attention to every detail. As an attorney, she is my version of a “Sherlock Holmes” private-eye detective who can flush through the thick and thin to retrieve those h...idden clues! Amanda subpoenaed “everything” essential to the case, and then formulated documents into financial spreadsheets that positively supported the collection of unpaid alimony! The amount of hidden data was unbelievable, and with pages of legal evidence that could not be denied by opposing council. Finally, after 22 months of holding my breath…I can finally exhale! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU…for digging deep, explaining legal theories, updating me on things that mattered, and for the successful outcome of my case!!
