Amanda is the epitome of a professional, empathetic, energetic and caring attorney. She's not just a great attorney, she's an even better person .... Huge heart and soul.

The Best of The Best!!!

I would be lying if I said anything negative about this fine lady and very best lawyer anyone could have to represent them! Amanda Salcido whom happens to be the wife of one of my close friends at church, was so dependable and helpful. She gave excellent advice, and even recommended things I did not ...think of! Talk about someone who knows what they are doing and the patience to get it done right! I'm so very happy and grateful that she was there, to help me through this challenging event of my life. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal service. If I'm silly enough to need this type of help again... Amanda Salcido, you know whom I'm calling!!!

Highly Recommend

“You are a wonderful attorney with feelings for your clients. I find this a terrific attribute in your profession that unfortunately seems to be very uncommon. You impressed me with your knowledge and your uncanny way of understanding the situation with limited explanation. Cheryl was also extremely... sweet and kind when I had to call the office. You have definitely chosen well with her as your assistant. I will highly recommend you and your office staff to friends and neighbors who may be going through similar situations. Again, thank you for helping me through this terrible time.”

Divorce & Chid Custody

Amanda represented me for my divorce and custody case. First of all, she is a good person and that makes a huge difference. I truly mean that! Amanda really is a beautiful person-- all the way to her core. I really appreciate the honesty and integrity she showed me. Secondly, she is upfront, ...honest, and professional. She follows the law. She respects the court and the judges. She is by the books. She won't lie to you and tell you she can deliver unrealistic expectations. She isn't dishonest or a schmoozer. She is real and consciousness of your retainer fee. Lastly, and most importantly, she truly CARED about my case and my daughters well-being. There were numerous occasions where she responded to phone calls and emails, --even on the weekends and every time I communicated with her she was never inconvenienced by the question or concern. My trial did not go the way that I wanted it to go 100 %. With all of the evidence in the world, quality witnesses, and a great plan, the judge and the system are the deciding factors-- sometimes wrong and sometimes unfair. Attorneys aren't the judges, the system, or God. I can still say without a doubt that Amanda represented me with confidence, class, honesty, and integrity!
