Great Personal Injury Attorney

I was hurt in a construction accident where I had to have surgery on my hand and trusted that the company I worked for would do right by me. After a couple of months with medical bills piling up and no response from the insurance company my wife convinced me to call Amanda. I reluctantly called ful...ly expecting a high pressure used car salesman approach from Amanda, but that was not the case. She explained my rights, gave me sound advice, and then told me to call her if I wanted to be represented. Two weeks later I was finally fed up with being ignored by the insurance company and called Amanda. She got the ball rolling immediately and within hours of her making a few calls the insurance company was calling to talk settlement with me. I chose to let Amanda handle the issue from that point on. Amanda kept me informed and blow smoke up my rear about how things would progress. She was honest from the get go and would only give me the worse case scenario for my case, as to not get my hopes up. It took awhile, but I knew what to expect and Amanda came through like a champ. My medical bills and future care were more than taken care of after she raked the insurance company over the coals. Amanda is professional, honest, and one hell of a litigator in my opinion. So if there are any working guys out there looking for an attorney that will truly be on your side I recommend you give Amanda a call. On a side note Amanda also helped my father with a Social Security Disability hearing and he was more than satisfied with the outcome. Thank you Amanda! Andrew

Outstanding medical malpractice attorney with a human approach!

Amanda treated me like a person and made sure that I knew my case was important to her and her firm. I was very scared to go to trial. Unlike most lawyers, Amanda and her co-counsel supported me emotionally and answered all of my questions about the process. Amanda’s approach to the trial really reso...nated with the jury and achieved a result that I could not have imagined. I am truly blessed to have had her represent me in my medical malpractice matter.

"One of the best construction trial attorneys I have seen, Amanda is quickly becoming one of the most feared litigators in town. Not many attorneys can list multi-million dollar cases like she can, and that's no accident. This is the attorney you want for your case."
