Amanda Eileen Branca

If you are just starting the terrifying process of divorce, engaging Amanda Branca as your family law attorney will undoubtedly be the best decision you can make. I can’t tell you how many times during my divorce I thanked my lucky stars that I stumbled across Amanda and hired her. She is truly the b...est family law attorney out there - I initially typed “one of the best” but then changed it because I honestly believe you can’t get better than her. Amanda is s superstar in literally every area possible – she is unbelievably responsive (so much so I worried I was her only client, which is obviously not the case …but that’s how she will make you feel), has expert knowledge of family law, is compassionate, is skilled and creative when it comes to negotiation, and is a pro when it comes to managing your expectations and helping you to understand and come to grips with worst and best case scenarios. In addition, she is incredibly generous in her billing – I know that I would have had to pay significantly more had I used another law firm …I’m talking 2-5 times more! Finally, she has a great sense of humor and knows when it’s appropriate to inject a bit of levity into an otherwise tense situation. My case was fairly complex – a child was involved and there was another issue where there wasn’t much case law to go off. I am very satisfied and don’t think I could have gotten a better outcome (a tough feat when it comes to family law because from what I can tell, both parties often come out of it feeling screwed). More importantly, I am so grateful to have had Amanda by my side during what has been one of the most challenging years of my life. She made an awful process bearable and helped me keep my sanity when I was overcome with anxiety, sadness, and anger. She is utterly an incredible attorney …and a genuinely compassionate and thoughtful human being.

In our case, Amanda helped us modify child and spousal support as well as negotiate custody matters. She was very thorough in her research of the case and past judgements in our case. She kept us well-informed during the entire process and gave excellent advice. Amanda worked twice as hard for a r...easonable rate than my previous "big shot", high rate lawyer! She even found things he should've done previously and picked up his slack. In the courtroom and dealing with the opposing counsel, she was clear, concise and direct in her arguments. We will be using her again in the future for further issues regarding support and highly recommend her to others!

Let me start by saying my original attorney was much more expensive and not nearly as creative or detailed as Amanda. The original MSA that was drawn up was so bad that my Ex-Wife and I had been fighting over it's interpretation for almost 3 years. It finally got to the point that we were forced to g...o back to court. I didn't know what I was going to do, I had limited resources and my children were being kept from me. Amanda was a referral from a friend and immediately took action. She drafted a well thought out argument to all the underlying issues and was able to have my case resolved in less than 6 months. She was incredibly responsive, very understanding of our budget and honestly went above and beyond what would normally be expected. I would highly recommend speaking with Amanda before hiring anyone else. I really can't say enough good thing about her. Not only did we have the agreement revised in a much more proficient way, I actually ended up with more custody, which is something I never thought was possible!

I LOVE Amanda! Prior to hiring her, I had anxiety about finding a lawyer and the long stressful process of going to court, but she quickly put me at ease and reassured me that we would win. I hired her for a case involving child visitation and a modification of an old MSA and I was blown away by he...r attention to detail and her knowledge of both psychology and law. She left no stone unturned and drew my attention to details that would prevent me from further conflict in the future. She was always available, she genuinely cares about her clients and she gives great advice. In short, she was so successful in reaching an agreement out of court that she spared me from having to appear before a judge and spend a lot of money unnecessarily. My case was open and closed in less than 6 months and now things are better than ever! My experience with her was not only positive, but her work and guidance changed the course of my life, so I will forever be grateful. She came highly recommended to me by a close friend and I continue to refer her to people I know going through a divorce, or who are trying to modify an old agreement. She is warm and down to earth with her clients, but assertive, confident and aggressive when representing you. That to me is a perfect balance and what I think makes her so great!

I cannot say enough positive things about Ms. Branca. She helped me with my child custody case and I got everything I asked for and more. Her meticulous review of every piece of evidence is truly impressive and nothing went undetected. I felt confident going into court with her by my side. I had to g...o to court with a different attorney prior to my experience with Ms. Branca when I lived in another county and the difference was night and day. Ms. Branca didn't take my money and put together a generic case like my previous attorney did. She listened carefully to everything I had to say and she knew the details of my case just as well as I did. I was in great hands with her and felt extremely confident having her represent me.
