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.

Very Helpful and Professional

I called Amanda because I was looking for a family lawyer. I read her bio on the HL website and was impressed with her background in family law. I worried because I had never had to contact a lawyer before but Amanda made me feel really comfortable. She made the process easy to understand and I di...dn't feel like I was being judged. She made herself available to me promptly when I had questions or concerns. She did a great job helping me to achieve the results I felt was best for my family.

Commited to positive resolution for me the client.

Amanda and her staff were very professional in the case of an order for protection against me during marital seperation. My fear was having the order of protection as a permanent record against me and possibly hindering further issues if divorce and child custody became an issue. Amanda and her team ...of professionals were very informative, proactive, encouraging and constantly in contact with me regarding my case. End result was very gratifying as they were able to present my case and have the order for protection dismissed. I would recommend Amanda, her team and this firm for anyone looking for the best possible result for their own personal leagal matter.
