Amanda Szpakowski

I walked into Cantor Law shaking with fear and guilt. My son was deep in a mental health crisis, his estranged wife had been abusive to him and my two little granddaughters, and she was planning to flee the state with the girls before the divorce was even final. I knew I had to step in to protect my ...grandbabies, but I was terrified of the consequences. My son is still angry with me for taking legal action, and honestly, that breaks my heart every day. The moment I sat down with Amanda in person for our first meeting, I trusted her. She looked me in the eye, listened to every detail, and never once made me feel like I was overstepping or wrong for fighting for those little girls. She was calm, direct, and kind all at once. She warned me this would be an incredibly difficult case; emergency custody orders for grandparents are almost never granted, and extensions are even rarer. I left that meeting feeling heard and, for the first time, hopeful. Amanda and her amazing paralegal Robyn became my rock. They gathered evidence, filed the emergency petition, and somehow, against all odds, the judge granted it. Then we went back to court for the extension, Amanda prepared me for the worst, but we won again. My granddaughters are now safe and stable because of the fierce, brilliant work this team did. This has been one of the most painful and stressful chapters of my life. I’m still trying to repair things with my son, and that hurts deeply, but I will never regret doing what I had to do to protect those babies. Amanda and Robyn held my hand through every tear, every late-night panic, every court appearance. They explained everything, fought relentlessly, and held my hand through it all. If you’re a grandparent facing the unthinkable and you need someone who will fight for your grandchildren when no one else will, run to Amanda Cantor. She is compassionate, brilliant, and absolutely fearless in court. I owe her and Robyn everything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my grandbabies when even my own son couldn’t see it yet. A heartbroken but eternally grateful grandmother

I can’t thank Amanda enough for her professionalism, patience, and compassion through one of the hardest seasons of my life. She truly listened, guided me with honesty and care, and handled every step with grace — even when emotions were high. She fought for what was fair and helped me find peace in ...the end. I’m deeply grateful and would recommend her to anyone needing not just a great attorney, but a genuinely kind person in their corner.

I absolutely love what Amanda has done for me and my son! I am still in shock to finally be heard... Throughout this entire process, I've had zero support from friends, family, and medical professionals. Even the closest person to me washed her hands of it! I am so moved by what Amanda has done fo...r me and my boy. I honestly thought that I had made things worse in court by just being me. But I could feel the compassion from everyone there. Without Amanda's preparation, kindness, and professionalism, I would not have had the strength. If you could only see the smile on my son's face, the instant wave of calm that came over his face when I told him! This truly is one of the best things to ever happen to me, even though it sourced from the worst! Amanda has my highest recommendations and respect. The word 'appreciate' is not a strong enough word for the help and compassion she gave us... That unspoken word was in my watery eyes when we walked out.. and when I told my son... And when I told my other kids...I am in awe. Thank you so much, Amanda!!!

I am still in utter "shock" as to how Amanda handled my son's divorce at a pre-trial conference to COMPLETION! She was truly sent by God to represent my son in his case. I believe there is no one else we could have retained who would have accomplished what she did in such a short time. SHE is t...ruly a BLESSING to me and my family!!! You have no idea of what we've gone through emotionally and financially since the commencement of this divorce. For Amanda to come in and take charge was nothing short of AMAZING! My son and I have told our new "testimony" of what she accomplished for us and assure you that we will continue to refer her at every given opportunity. In closing, our gratitude is unending. We will think of Amanda often and are grateful to have had the short but incredibly effective relationship we had with her. I believe Amanda is ordained by God to do what she does. - Kim B and Austin B

The folks at cantor law group are nothing short of exceptional. After my third (and hopefully final) time retaining their services, I was nothing short of blown away at the intricate level of attention to detail that each member has provided my case. Even though my most recent experience was a home r...un from the start, they didn’t hesitate to ensure everything possible was done to obtain the most positive outcome. Amanda Szpakowski handled my case this time, and spared no effort to ensure every concern and question was answered to the fullest. She was always well prepared and committed to the expectations she set for my case. The service I was provided was worth its weight in gold, with quality service that shows its value in their hard work. There’s no question on if it would be worth returning a 4th time. There’s no doubt in my mind on who I would refer any family law matters to in the future.
