Post Decree Pro!

I was referred to Amanda after months of frustration trying to enforce my divorce judgement pro se. She is responsive, a great listener, compassionate, and, most importantly, knows the law. My post decree issues were challenging, and she helped me realign my focus and expectations based on what was m...ost important to me. Amanda stopped my ex-husband's bullying tactics with professionalism, while being mindful of my budget. My only wish was that I knew her when I initially asked for the divorce. I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone who would surely benefit from her expertise.

honest, fair & assertive

amanda helped me with custody of my son. her ability to keep me focused on honest legal advise and not what i wanted to hear is a major plus. she is constantly fair about what your options are as her client and your position. she is assertive with both her stances with you & the other party. you'll n...ever doubt that she is your advocate in a court of law working for what is best for your case.

Expert, Professional, Timely

Amanda is extremely knowledgable in the field. She is professional, timely and respectable. She was available when I needed her. Amanda explains all aspects of the situation so you can truely understand what is going on. She uses terms that are easy for me to comprehend since I am not in the field... of law. I would highly recommend Amanda.

Handled my divorce and any issues post divorce.

Amanda was referred to me by a friend. I was married for a long time with several attempts at divorce. Unfortunately, I also had experience with several other divorce attorneys. After I met with Amanda for a consultation I had no hesitation to retain her services. She explained all possibilities,... this was my first experience that things were actually going in my favor. After two prior failed attempts I was finally divorced. She did a great job and I will always appreciate her candor. I continue to use her services for any issues that arise post divorce. I would highly recommend her services and I refer her any chance I get.

Outstanding Attorney and Counselor

Amanda assisted me with my divorce. Perhaps "handled it" would be more accurate. She was aggressive yet measured, kept costs within budget, offered invaluable insights, was strategically adept and achieved a very satisfactory (especially considering how unsavory a divorce can be) result. As well a...s being a highly skilled attorney, she is an outstanding counselor, getting me through a very rough patch. I have referred other clients to her, knowing they will be well-served. As an attorney of 27+ years, I am well placed to rate a colleague. Amanda excels.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
