Amanda J Gentry

- Yelled at a pen and threw at the wall because it was out of ink. - Disrespectful during communications. - Invalidated all of my questions and concerns. - When her email was hacked exposing my discovery documents, she played it down like it was nothing. When I said it wasn't not nothing, she accu...sed me of overreacting. - Rarely updated me unless specifically asked. Would only communicate a few sentences with bare minimum information. - Attempts to request better communication from her were met with accusations of "disrespecting her and her staff". - "Forgot" to send my offer to the other party; avoided accountability. - Allowed me to make numerous mistakes in my case without mentioning them or providing adequate legal advice. - Allowed the case to drag on for years needlessly, costing me $$$.

I don’t know where to start to explain how wonderful Amanda and her team are. We have been fighting a battle for joint custody of my daughter for two years and Amanda got us everything we wanted/needed. I now have 50/50 week on week off with my child and access to all her records. Amanda is a figh...ter and takes no bull…t from opposing counsel or their client. She is hard working, communicates CONSTANTLY and tough as nails. I will always recommend Amanda to anyone for anything law related. She is our hero and like apart of our family. We are so grateful/lucky to have her fighting for us. She will always be straight and honest with you. If you want to win hire Amanda Gentry and her awesome team.

This is by far the worst experience I’ve had dealing with any “professional”. I was a paralegal for years and worked with and dealt with plenty of attorneys. None were like this! I spoke with Amanda only one time briefly before the trial and she was in the middle of a big case so she wasn’t as attent...ive. I emailed her before my trial to see is she needed anything from me or needed to meet. She said no (This was a visitation case and I hired an atty because previously the judge would not hear anything I was trying to say and I could not fail my child). Amanda came walking in after trial was supposed to start and sat away from my sister and I, because she was working on another case. She was so unprepared and her focus was on a “bigger” case. She even asked the judge to step out to call her office about a different case. She had no idea it was a trial (I told her that when we first met) and how unfit my child’s dad was. My child is in therapy because of his dad but the judge ruled on the fact they we were BOTH great parents. I paid Amanda every dime she asked for without question and I couldn’t afford it. When expressing my concerns with her she wasn’t even apologetic. She couldn’t hold herself accountable. She made it a yelling match. She even made the statement “I hate to say it, but this is what happens when you lawyer up”. Technically I didn’t have a lawyer present. She kept telling the judge “well I had no idea” and “I just recently got this case” (she had it for over 2 months). Amanda ask my child’s dad one question “what county do you stay in” and she asked me a few, but it’s what I wrote on her pad during trial. She told me she didn’t know anything about my case because I didn’t meet with her. Told me she is available every Saturday for her clients. How was I supposed to know that if I’ve never been told? Even when I asked her before trial, she never mentioned it. I’m disappointed that money I didn’t have went in her pockets for nothing. However, I’m more hurt because she failed my child. Thanks Amanda!

Exactly what the title says. I've had dealings with attorneys for years for business and never have struggled so hard for communication. We even scheduled a set time to chat, confirmed the time in two emails and then was stood up and never really got an apology or any acknowledgement of the issues i...t created. I always like to feel that maybe an interaction happened at a hard time (End of 2020 and we're all stressed) but when you are dealing directly with things that have profound effect on someone's life, good communication shouldn't be a compromise.
