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.

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!

Criminal case attorney

Amanda came highly recommended by a friend who is also an attorney . Amanda got me my life back - she fought for me for 2 and a half years. Extremely intelligent , knowledgable ,tenacious and just never gives up on her clients . If you found yourself in a tough criminal case she is your attorney and ...you will be grateful for her representation . The best in Florida !

A beacon in the dark

i really enjoyed working with Amanda. She gave me the confidence i needed to get through a trying divorce. The J,C,F law firm responded quickly and respectfully to all my concerns. Amanda Jacobson's knowledge of the law and tenacity to fight for my rights led to successful outcome. I would whole hear...tedly recomend the Jacobsen,Chmelir and Ferwerda P.A. to any friend or family that needed there serv

More than a lawyer!! She Cares!!

When I was looking for a lawyer, I emailed Amanda on a weekend in a panic. She called me immediately on her personal number to talk to me about my case without even asking me for a dime. I immediately knew that this lawyer cares for her clients and hired her. She has been there to give me advice eve...n during after hours. She helped me and my kids in so many ways. If you need a lawyer who will fight for you, this is the lawyer for you!! She keeps it real with you and tells you how it is if you like it or not. She will fight hard for you and fight for what’s in the best interest of the kids!!
