Amanda G. Highlander

During my search for a family law attorney, I reached out to a local Mom’s group on Facebook. After a few repeated recommendations, I decided to contact Amanda Highlander, an attorney with the Shaw Law Group of Edwardsville, Illinois. From the first time I met Amanda, I was immediately impressed.... I’ve used various attorneys over the years, but Amanda was the first to make me feel like my time and money wasn’t being wasted. Amanda is professional and tough, yet caring and open to listening. She is straight forward and extremely efficient. I was so happy to find someone who understands what it’s like to be a parent and that would work to uncover my best options. Amanda explained the reasons behind each step of our process, and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. I got exactly what I paid for and more with Amanda!

Amanda listened, examined and mulled over my custody and divorce case as if she were representing herself. She offered up sound suggestions and brainstormed untraditional options that gave me the impression that I was not just another client. With Amanda Highlander on my side, I was able to exhibit p...ride and ownership in the outcome of my case. I never felt as if I were a burden or just another dollar sign when I would email and call her or the office. In a final move to avoid trial on my behalf, Amanda confidently orchestrated negotiation tactics while we met with my ex and his attorney. She kept composure and noticeably gained respect and admiration from my ex with her pragmatic approach. While I am glad my case is closed, I am a bit saddened that my interactions with her and her office will cease. I will not hesitate to hire her again if anything changes in my case.
