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.

Amanda Jacobsen is the real deal

My ex dragged me through endless filings — just nonstop nonsense trying to wear me down. Amanda stood by me through all of it. She knew the case inside and out, stayed composed when things got ugly, and had an answer for everything thrown our way. When we finally got in front of the judge, she abs...olutely crushed it. The way she presented the evidence and laid everything out made all the difference. We walked out victorious because of how she handled that courtroom and how she represented me. If you’re in a situation where someone’s trying to beat you down with paperwork and games, Amanda’s who you want standing next to you.

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!!

When it comes to being prepared for the courtroom, there is no one more equipped than Amanda.

Coming from an executive in the legal industry, as well as being raised in a family of attorneys, this review is a testament to the immense respect I have for Amanda's unwavering dedication to her clients. It's no secret that family law clients often find themselves in distressing situations, and hav...ing someone as assertive and determined as myself can certainly raise the stakes. However, witnessing Amanda's expertise firsthand in the courtroom completely alleviated any doubts, worries, or unease I may have had. Her talent truly knows no bounds. When it comes to being prepared for the courtroom, there is no one more equipped than Amanda. I wholeheartedly recommend her not only professionally, but also within my personal network.
