She Gets the Job Done!

Had a very messy divorce 6 years ago without any representation and ended up with an unfair parenting plan. Three years later, after finally graduating with my degree, I found and was able to hire Mrs. Jacobson. She fixed everything wrong with the parenting plan and made sure I was awarded with a fai...r child support. She was extremely professional and very easy to talk to through the whole process. She got the job done!

Happily Divorced

I found Amanda through a referral from a friend. I had been wanting and needing to divorce my narcissistic, verbally abusive husband for several years but hadn't found an attorney I felt comfortable with. I started the process with an attorney I didn't feel suited my case so I had trouble wanting to ...move forward for fear of the outcome. Amanda came recommended as tough when needed, strategic, and highly respected. I'm so glad I retained her because she was all that and more. She pushed my case along even when my then-husband refused to respond or cooperate. She told me what was possible and what was unrealistic, setting proper expectations. She had a very good grasp on what to expect from any specific judge since she has been in court with most, if not all of them before. She didn't do any unreasonable work, or engage in what I thought was questionable charging like my previous attorney had. She strategized and conferenced with me, answered questions as many times as I needed, and I found that over time, my anxieties disappeared and my confidence returned. In the end, I got an amazing settlement that I am beyond happy with and a solid parenting plan. I credit her strong demeanor, ability to keep conversations on point in the courtroom, and her knowledge on when to apply pressure and how. Thank you Amanda!

Amanda is a great attorney. We became more like family. Her staff is also very pleasant to work with. She has your best interest at heart. She tells you what you need to hear not what you want to hear. It is for your own good. I hired her as my divorce attorney. Out of all the attorneys I consulted w...ith she is the only one I believe strong enough to handle opposing counsel and my case. Unfortunately, with a former husband that was in and out of the marriage for the past 3 years took a huge toll on me and my health. Amanda helped me see what was clearly going on even though it was hard to see at times. My trust was shattered after being betrayed over and over again but Amanda helped pull me from darkness into the light. She is intelligent, kind hearted, knowledgeable and knows when to make the right move at the right time. She won my case. Even after final decree former husband and his flying monkey of a lawyer try to engage in unreasonable behavior and Amanda is right there helping me navigate and make the right moves. Overall, I am ever so grateful for her continued help and truly always wanting the best for me and my son.
