She is an EXCELLENT attorney!

Amanda Crowell is by far the best lawyer EVER! I know, that sounds dramatic BUT it’s the truth. My family unfortunately had to go through a horrible custody battle and I don’t even want to think what could have been if she wasn’t there with us. Emotions ran high but she was calm and grounded. She was... in complete control of that court room the entire 4 day trial! Even the opposing attorney just watched her in awe. No other lawyer would have put in the time, energy or anything else to know the case like she did. My family will be forever grateful for her. She truly was blessed with a gift.

Very satisfied!

My wife and I hired Amanda to develop a last will & testament, Power of Attorney for finance, Power of attorney for health, etc. We were very satisfied with her work. The documents were produced in a timely manner as promised and we were charged the exact price we were quoted when we first met. Sh...e was very professional, yet personal with all of our questions and concerns. We will not hesitate to hire Mrs. Crowell in the future if we need an attorney. We highly recommend her.

Divorce

Amanda handled my divorce case. She was very knowledgeable and responded to any questions I had in a very timely miner. The fees were very reasonable and I highly recommend her.

She delivers

At first, I thought she seemed aloof & unassertive, but I held on to my faith as to why I felt she was the right one to begin with, and pushed forward. She is classy, confident, and intelligent. What I had to learn was that MY divorce was a HUGE deal to me, but they have a job to do & they won't be h...olding your hand...unless you pay them very handsomely do so. My divorce went to trial & I learned that Amamda had been paying very close attention all along. Her experience shows in the courtroom & she doesn't make "noise" until she needs to. She's all bite, no bark. I highly recommend Amanda Crowell...and her wonderful paralegal, Kayla.

Knows the business, not the client

Amanda is a very intelligent attorney who knows family law quite well. My case did not end well and I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that I was not well prepared for trial. I really wish I had been advised that common sense is not use in family court. Our pretrial meeting was held in very s...hort time and she seemed rushed. I was very disappointed with my services received and felt that given her high rates I should have expected a much fervent attorney. I genuinely think that because she felt we had a strong case she didn't prioritize my case and it cost me more than just money. I would not recommend her for any complex cases.

"I worked with Amanda for over seven years. I have found her to be the utmost professional with her clients and with opposing parties. I have seen her work behind the scenes and cannot say enough about her knowledge and skills as an attorney. She is dedicated to being extremely knowledgeable about the law and being comprehensive as she possibly can with her cases. Maybe what impresses me the most about Amanda is the fact that she is so respected by her fellow attorneys as well as judges. That means a lot."
