Outstanding family lawyer

Amanda Jacobson and her staff are outstanding. She reviewed my case with me in detail outlining every possible outcome (good and bad). However she kept me very optimistic about having a favorable outcome. Amanda was very gracious and patient with the many questions I asked during the proceedings. Her... staff was courteous with each interaction. They were very responsive to phone calls, emails and conference scheduling. My case began as a simple mediation with no major issues. Then my ex refused to cooperate or respond to any offers. With Amanda in my corner, I hired a GAL and Parent coordinator which greatly impacted my overall outcome and negotiations. I would definitely contact Amanda if your going through a divorce especially if their are issues with child care. I would also highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for an attorney who is willing to take your case to trial. Not many attorneys want to go to trial.

Worth every penny

Fantastic. Steadfast in her dedication to make sure all of my concerns were addressed to my satisfaction. Her straightforward and no nonsense approach to offering me council gave me the reassurance I needed during a very tumultuous time in my life. I hope I never need a divorce attorney's services a...gain, but if I ever did she would be the first one I look into.

The best!

Amanda IS THE BEST! I can't even explain all of the amazing things she did for me. She has a lot of heart and really cares about her clients. Her focus is what's best for her clients, not her pocketbook, which I truly appreciated. One of the things I liked best, was before entering mediation, she exp...lained what would happen, what her expectations were of me, what I should let her know during the process and most of all, she tuned into my reactions to what was happening and the decisions we were making. Another fantastic thing about her, was that I was able to guide her on what I wanted but she also would tell me what was acceptable and what wasn't. She is sharp and intuitive and I would recommend her to anyone!

Delightful woman and a pleasure to work with.

From the very first consult Amanda made me feel at ease with my very difficult divorce case. She is very honest and direct as well as a fantastic human being. She is so much different than the average attorney out there she wants to win your case not see how much of your bank account she can drain. S...he's an amazing attorney and in my opinion she saved my life and made sure I was able to start over. Highly recommend her !

Amanda is a Shark with heart

Looking for an attorney for a grueling divorce is stress enough. However, with Amanda, I had total trust and belief in her from day one. If you are looking for a Shark to be in your corner yet wholeheartedly so passionate about her clients and well being of the children, Amanda is the one for you. Hi...ghly educated and respected in her field, she is a powerful force in representing you. Her staff was amazing in follow up and not once did I worry. They were always available and diligently one step ahead. I received everything we sought for. This woman has the guts, heart and proven record of success for her clients. I've referred her 2 clients and will continue to do so faithfully. No one else comes close.
