Amanda Jane Maenner

I could go on and on but limited by character count. Amanda is the divorce Jesus. Uniquely compassionate and capable. In an industry sector filled with dirty dart throwing attorneys, she prefers to drive the high road – picks you up and takes it all the way to winning town. Saved my life. On the one ...salty review I see here – I feel compelled to add Amanda worked for half of what opposing counsel charged and was twice as effective.

My experience with Amanda was very disappointing. For the start, I felt she did not handle my case with professionalism. The information and documents I carefully provide to her were never properly reviewed, and instead were simply passed along to the opposite lawyer without context or advocacy. This... put me in disadvantage with the mediator who became very negative toward me, which in turn gave leverage to the opposite side. She seemed to follow procedure mechanically without pushing back or making sure my perspective was heard. I didn't feel supported in any way. Ultimately, she dropped my case, leaving me feeling unprotected and without proper legal guidance. Her fees didn't match the quality of service I received. Based on my experience I cannot recommend her services.

Amanda was exceptional. Similar to wanting a doctor with great bedside manner, she was an outstanding lawyer. She is intelligent, calm, kind and methodical. Unlike many lawyers, she isn’t interested in racking up your billable hours; she works efficiently and only in your best interest. She always re...sponded quickly to calls and emails. Her demeanor was professional yet stern. She is well respected by mediators and judges. My divorce was extremely stressful and Amanda did a great job keeping me calm during times where I was super emotional and stressed. She continued to be the voice of reason and kept me on the course which led to my desired outcome. I would highly recommend Amanda, especially to any man going through a custody battle.

I feel very fortunate to have had Amanda working for me to resolve long standing asset divorce issues with my former husband. Amanda was clear in her advice and I felt at all times she had my best interest foremost in this very difficult process. She explained all the risks and benefits of litigatio...n options and resolved the case in a matter of a few months. At no time did I feel she was trying to drag out the process and was able to bring my former husband into agreement for final resolution, something I was never able to do on my own. I would highly recommend Amanda to anybody needing an attorney in MN for family issues, especially women in need of an advocate during divorce.

Amanda was fantastic, she's confident, knowledgeable, and sticks to the point. She handled my relocation out of state case in a timely manner. I really enjoyed working with her. She handled my case out of court and set up deadlines to move things along. I can't say enough. I would contact her for an...y future cases that I may have.
