"When it comes to construction and design professional litigation, Amanda (Bennett) Buffinton is one of the best lawyers you will find! I have worked with Amanda for over ten years, and she has developed a strong reputation for delivering very competent legal counsel to our firm's clients in all matters involving construction and design professional legal issues. I strongly encourage existing and potential clients of our firm to utilize Amanda when they are confronted with a construction or design professional dispute or oppportunity, as her work delivers favorable results in a cost effective manner."
"I endorse Amanda's superb professional ability and top-notch litigation skills. She was opposing counsel in a multi-party complex construction case in State court, out of which she obtained a very favorable outcome for her design professional client. Her mastery of liability defense in a construction project setting is outstanding and a great benefit to her clients."
"Ms. Bennett is an extremely bright and talented construction attorney who regularly and successfully represents engineers and architects sued for professional malpractice in connection with construction projects. In addition to knowing the law, Ms. Bennett also possesses the necessary skills to give clients real-world, practical advice to the problems they face. She is also the most organized lawyer I know and has a special knack for identifying and managing the details. I am fortunate enough to work with her, as are her clients."
