No interest for minors

Terrible lawyer. Claims to have the best interest for minors but is EASILY fooled. No research conducted to verify facts or statements given by the other parties. It was later confirmed that all statements that were provided to her were fraudulent and written by other parent. Also did not follow up w...ith drug accusations or verify their accuracy. Essential her “interest for a minor” was to put them right back into the hands that neglected them. Thanks Amanda!

NO NO NO

This attorney failed to represent my best interests at every juncture. Apathetic, lackluster, lack of communication via email or phone. She double billed for conflicting paperwork, NEVER provided legal counsel as to pro's/con's of course of action, and in no way represented/advocated for the best in...terest of the client, Rather I did all my own work AND paid her over $15,000. The final lack of ethics and integrity on a long list of them: She decided to deduct my CURRENT FEE'S, INVOICE UNSEEN BY ME, due date not yet passed (and I've ALWAYS paid on time, right away), from the net proceeds of the sale of my house. The MSA stated she would receive proceeds, ensure the 5 agreed upon joint bills were paid, then evenly divide the funds between my near ex and I. Instead, she took it upon herself to go ahead and deduct the next invoice due and then mail me the difference, which was not agreed to within the MSA.

No Nonsense Approach

Ms. Coffey handled a very stressful problem and helped my second grader get out of a terrible school situation and into a school that the district claimed was too full for transfers. She genuinely cares about families and children and handled the situation quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend...ed.

A rare breed...

I only met with her for a consult, but she is a straight shooter. She actually recommended that I keep my money to use toward my child support arrears to fight my enforcement, instead of hire her, after another attorney (at a VERY well known and highly rated firm) tried to rip me off. At first I felt... kind of abandoned or rejected, but then I realized she was doing what was best for me and not herself. Honesty seems to be a trait that not a lot of lawyers have, and Amanda genuinely seems like a good person. She could have easily taken advantage of my emotional state, desperation, and fear of the court system, but instead she spoke to me like a friend giving advice. I left her office feeling much better than when I walked in. I wish her much success! I highly recommend Amanda Coffey.
