A True Head Hunter

She came highly recommended by a top central Florida law firm who described her as a "shark". She definitely lived up to the hype and tore the opposition apart. She knew what we wanted and got it done quickly. She has lightening fast response to emails which is the best way to communicate with her.... We would recommend her to anybody.

All around great experience!

I actually used Amanda for a criminal case (DUI) and my divorce. She was always there for me, answering all my questions, even after hours. She was very confident in the courtrooms and the judges really respected her. I got a great result in both cases. I strongly recommend her for criminal and famil...y cases.

Excellent attorney

Amanda is a wonderful person and attorney who helped guide and protect me during the most stressful period of my life. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce.

Knowledgeable

Amanda got me through the toughest time of my life. As my divorce attorney she kept me informed, explained the legal process, and aggessively represented me position. In the end, I received a favorable resolution to my divorce along with the majority of the time with my children.

Family law

Amanda made herself available at all hours, but I feel she dragged the case on and did not want us to try to settle.... In the best of the moment I didn’t see it would have been possible to work with the other party and it felt like the opposite should have been happened. When my ex was being reason...able on some issues Amanda still encouraged me to fight her because she said we could win on the issue... We didn’t always and things got twisted around often. Looking back it made things worse long-term and more expensive.

I am so sorry to read this. First, you chose to be anonymous so I have no idea how to even respond. Why didn't you contact me and choose this as a forum to complain? I have a great relationship with 99% of my clients. While I am not sure this is even real, it doesn't matter, so I will respond. I try to be always available for my clients and analyze their cases accurately for them in the beginning and as we progress. I am a mediator, as well as a litigator, and always encourage reasonable resolution. I have never encouraged a client to litigate when they want to accept a resolution. When I do litigate, it is because there is no other option. Despite all the preparation and skill, I cannot control every outcome. Every case is different and I can't even respond about your case because your are anonymous. If you really are a prior client, call me and lets discuss. Thank you.
