This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend

I was referred to Amanda by a family friend who is an attorney. At a time when I needed a strong advocate, I found her to be trustworthy, tough-minded, diligent, and very knowledgeable. She is exceptionally good at gathering, retaining, and explaining details. Her recall is impressive, and things jus...t do not get past her. This is important especially, I think, to individuals going through stressful situations who need to trust that their lawyer is keeping track of everything. The trust I was able to put in Amanda was a gift at a difficult time. She is tough and also compassionate, bright and professional, with patience and warmth. She is poised and effective in the worst situations. I would highly recommend her.

Great Legal Advice

My wife filed in Minnesota for divorce while I was residing in Mexico and then dragged out the negotiations. Amanda took control and was able to speed proceedings along always providing me with timely updates and she and the paralegals were always available. Very satisfactory outcome.

McGovern Case

She was always available when I needed her, she was excellent in the court room and made me feel like I was her only client.

Efficient, professional and discreet - A+

Amanda and Heimerl & Lammers made a scary & intimidating process seem approachable, and they acted with the utmost professionalism and transparency at every step of the way. I felt very comfortable I had made the right choice in both my approach in my matter and in hiring Amanda throughout my work w...ith the firm. I took advantage of a complimentary phone and follow-up in-office session before moving forward with my matter. Amanda truly cares about making her clients feel comfortable before moving forward with her services in any decision. I believe my matter was taken care of as quickly and efficiently as it could possibly have been, with the highest quality at the same time. Amanda and her staff were also extremely quick to respond to any questions or feedback, which put me at ease and made me feel my matter was of top priority. I would recommend Amanda's services to anyone in a similar situation.

Very helpful

I first contacted Amanda in 2015 to help me draft a custody agreement. She was very helpful in understanding my needs and making sure the document addressed my concerns and then some. Since then, whenever I've had questions about family law, she has responded promptly with good advice, and her rates... have been fair.
