Child Abuse Charges

We hired Amanda to represent us in a situation where child abuse charges and domestic violence charges were made. This situation was a setup on both parts as our side was innocent. Amanda stayed on top of the issues from both sides by communicating clearly and quickly with all parties involved, us..., the DA and the other party's lawyer. It all came down to being in the wrong place at the wrong time, hind sight is 20/20 as they say. However, Amanda was able to advise us of a plea bargain plan that was successful. Probation and anger management ended up being a small price to pay in comparison to jail time for an innocent mistake made. It was a hard experience, but Amanda was right there for us and we greatly appreciate it! We would highly recommend her to anyone!

"Amanda is an excellent advocate on behalf of her clients. As a former state prosecutor, I handled several cases on the other side of the aisle from her. She was always prepared and professional. She would be a wonderful choice for criminal representation."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
