Amanda Eileen Branca

I am so incredibly grateful to have worked with Amanda Branca. After having two other law firms that did absolutely nothing for my case, Amanda came on board and I finally started seeing results. Amanda helped me through my settlement conference, move away hearing and child support hearings. Her ...investigative skills and attention to detail is exquisite. I have never had a law firm that actually cared about the out come of my case until I met Amanda. Her success in the court room is a reflection of this. Thank you so much for all your continued hard work on my case.

I contacted Amanda on the recommendation of Elizabeth Jamison, a lawyer formerly from San Diego, for whom I have a great deal of respect. I had been paying spousal support for more than 18 years for a marriage that lasted 15 years, and the loss of my job was imminent due to the pending closure of th...e plant where I worked. Being in my early 60's, the prospect of finding comparable employment locally was extremely remote. I needed a final resolution to avoid the potential of paying spousal support for the remainder of my life which would force me to uproot my wife and myself from my home of 28 years and search for employment elsewhere, solely to be able to continue paying spousal support, something I felt I could not do on my pension. Due to the long history of my case I was skeptical if and how quickly Amanda could grasp the complexities of my case. Amanda started out by meeting me at a local Starbuck's where we had a long chat. Her warmth and intelligence and professionalism convinced me she was the proper attorney for me. Amanda quickly researched the case, determined how to find my ex-wife who had moved from California many years prior and was no longer at the address the courts had on record, and had her served. Throughout the entire process which started in June and ended in February, Amanda kept me informed constantly via emails and phone conversations when necessary of all developments. In the end, after a brief court appearance, Amanda negotiated a final settlement that was in line with what she first indicated she felt should be the final resolution if it went to its full conclusion in court. By obtaining the settlement, Amanda saved me a large sum of money as my ex-spouse's attorney was determined to drag this process out as long as possible to jack up my legal fees as much as possible to force me into settling for a much higher amount than would probably be ordered by the court. In the end, it was Amanda's research and attention to detail, as well as her passion for my case that caught my ex-spouse in a major lie to the court years before that forced them to settle quickly. I highly recommend Amanda. If you give her full honest information regarding your case, and communicate with her constantly, she will give you the best representation possible. Amanda does her best to limit costs yet provide thorough service.

I was going through a child visitation dispute with my ex-wife and tried my hand at dealing with the court procedures myself. I'm in the military and about to deploy, and it became very clear the court was not going to see things from my point of view with out a little help. Amanda stepped in and imm...ediately began getting highly contested results. I felt that Amanda cared about my case just as much as I did and with the her generous military discount, I knew it wasn't just about the money. If your looking for someone who knows family law inside and out, she's your attorney.
