I am a family law attorney located in Wayzata, Minnesota. I understand that most people going through the court process for family matters will have a continuing relationship with the other party. I work with my clients to achieve the best results possible without destroying their relationship with the other party. If matters are not able to be resolved outside of court, I have the experience to be able to handle high level litigation through trial. My practice focuses on family law matters including divorce, custody, parenting time, child support, paternity, third party custody, and grandparent visitation.

Amanda was exceptional. Similar to wanting a doctor with great bedside manner, she was an outstanding lawyer. She is intelligent, calm, kind and methodical.

I came to Amanda in 2011. She was quick to answer calls and emails, ethical, and kind. She sat on the phone with me while I cried, and told me how she was going to fight for my case. She knows the law really well. She has a very warm nature to her.
