Absolutely Exceptional

In the beginning of a divorce, it is incredibly difficult to focus on anything but your own circumstances, your own sadness, and the wonder of whether you will ever make it through the process and be OK again. I had a consultation with Amanda before hiring her, and although I couldn’t tell how good... she’d be, I thought she would be good. I deferred some judgement to the reviews I read about her, which were all really positive. I had no idea of the value she would bring to the table. The reasons I am giving Amanda five stars are nearly unlimited. She is kind human being, an insightful confidante, and an absolutely exceptional attorney. Her ability to focus on the objective matters of divorce, when emotions are running high, is the best part of her brilliance. I can’t overstate how good she is at this. I met a few other divorce attorneys around Orlando over the years, and every single one of them told me I had a fantastic lawyer. Throughout the divorce process, there can be changes, stalls, peaks, and troughs. In the end, what matters most is the result. Most of the time, the result of divorce isn’t ideal, but is manageable. I am so pleased with the final result that that Amanda earned that I would recommend her to anyone that has to go through this difficult process.

Excellent Results

Hired Amanda to help with my case for additional time-sharing which she helped tremendously. Amanda was upfront with expectations and was prompt on all my needs. When we went to court, Amanda was prepared and on top of all the items that needed to be covered. Thank you for your attention to detail in... this case and would recommend her to anyone.

CLASSY Aggressive Attorney

Amanda is a phenomenal attorney! I recommend her over & over again! No matter what hurdle came into play, Amanda knew just how to tackle it. She was aggressive when needed while remaining extremely fair at the same time. Having a lot of different facets to the case while experiencing a lack of commun...ication and compliance, trying to negotiate was not quite an option. However, Amanda respectfully and diligently fought through it all – always having my best interest at hand. I became obsessed with helping to present the facts in my case and many times Amanda would take the time to slow me down. She is a great listener, advisor, and always knows the best strategy/approach. She knew the details of my case inside and out, knew what my goals were and never lost sight of that. She never missed a beat or forgot a thing. I had such confidence in her that I never had to ask what our next step was. I knew she addressed or initiated everything as if it was her own personal life changing situation. Amanda is highly skilled, extremely honest, knows the law and will ensure you understand everything. She will never lead you to believe that she can do something that just is not able to be done. She is a highly respected attorney and as a result has numerous contacts that can assist in different parts of the case (if needed). She is driven with compassion, dedication and determination and did not rest my case until we were in an exceptional place. If you need someone who is highly skilled in addressing non-disclosure, she is amazing. As a result of her expertise, I was able to maintain my home and pension. While I can continue to express her exceptional work all day, I do not want to end without acknowledging her right-hand girl/paralegal, MICHELLE Barone! What a team! Michelle’s knowledge and expertise make her such a valuable partner. She is absolutely, amazing. Not only did I have the best of representation on my side; I truly found some unbelievably Strong Women that I now consider friends!

Divorce process

I highly recommend Amanda Jacobson! Both her and her paralegal Michelle were amazing during the process. She was always available for my calls or texts, and emails, even when it was probably not convenient for her. She kept me aware of the entire process as each step was taken. Amanda is great at li...stening to her client and helping to discern and explain what the steps will be. She helped me get a resolution that I was comfortable with. Divorce can be a long process and there is no one better to help you than Amanda and her team!

Best decision

I am very thankful for Amanda’s expertise in law and her professionalism throughout the process. She and Michelle made what could’ve been a difficult divorce much more manageable with a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Amanda and will personally hire her again if necessary in the future.
