Brilliant, Experienced and Kind

Amanda is an overprotective mama bear, I say this affectionately. Divorce is a difficult, emotional process. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable and realistic. She helps you sift through the difficult decisions and offers perceptive. I can’t say enough amazing things about her and Michelle (her paraleg...al); between the two of them I felt secure and prepared for what the process would entail. The outcome of my divorce is measured beyond what I could have expected. Thank you for all your support and patience.

Amanda Jacobsen is the real deal

My ex dragged me through endless filings — just nonstop nonsense trying to wear me down. Amanda stood by me through all of it. She knew the case inside and out, stayed composed when things got ugly, and had an answer for everything thrown our way. When we finally got in front of the judge, she abs...olutely crushed it. The way she presented the evidence and laid everything out made all the difference. We walked out victorious because of how she handled that courtroom and how she represented me. If you’re in a situation where someone’s trying to beat you down with paperwork and games, Amanda’s who you want standing next to you.

Amazing

over a decade ago i was in court for traffic or criminal case don't recall which one, and i had no attorney and the judge was talking to me and i just told him/her do whatever you are going to do, and i was just being a real pain in the butt "young and reckless" and she came up to help me probably be...cause she felt sorry for me lol, anyhow she ended up being my attorney and she turned out to be amazing and the case was resolved without any serious consequences. The other lawyer Debra is also amazing she has helped me on quite a few felony cases.

Great Divorce Attorney

Cannot say enough good things about Amanda! I’m so glad that I used her for my divorce. She really knows her stuff and takes no BS. She had my back the entire time, always made time for my questions, and genuinely had my back! You are in such good hands if you decide to go with her!

Hire her!

I hired her about five years ago, and she was amazing. I drove from Wisconsin to Florida just to meet with her, and from our first conversation, I felt completely at ease. She reassured me that she would help, and she truly delivered. I now have a fantastic custody agreement that meets my son’s needs... and my own. What I love most is how effortlessly she handles everything—you hardly notice all the work she's doing. She really understands what you need and want, making the whole process feel smooth and supportive. I’m so grateful for her help!
