5 STAR ATTORNEY !

With a life changing experience ahead of me a good friend suggested that I reach out to Amanda to talk about my situation. From our first conversation I felt that I had made the right choice to seek her counsel. With a wealth of knowledge as well as professionalism throughout the whole divorce proces...s I was very pleased at the final results. I got all the answers and help that I needed dealing with the other party and I can't say THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!! Thank you AMANDA!

The best of the best!!!!!

I wish there were more stars to give Amanda. She is by far the best attorney in California!!! What should have been a simple divorce turned into a year and a half long nightmare. I live in Virginia and was having to fight a divorce all the way in California. I was so scared not being able to meet wit...h my new attorney face to face and only had 30 days to find someone after I was served. I found Amanda within a few days of searching and sent her an email letting her know my situation. That same day she e-mailed me back. We ended up having a phone conversation and I just knew in my heart she was the one to go with. That was definitely the best decision I ever made. I don't know where I would be without her. I would have gone crazy!! She made this torturous process seem not so bad at all. She is so laid back and is very prompt with returning emails. I never felt like I was in the dark with her and she was always up front with me. I can't thank her enough for all she did for me. I am tempted to fly to California just so I can meet her and give her a hug!! Amanda, if you ever read these I hope you know how amazing you have made my life and how eternally grateful I am for you! If you have an easy divorce, messy divorce, or not sure what's ahead of you I HIGHLY SUGGEST you give Ms. Amanda Branca a call. You won't regret it. Sincerely, One ridiculously happy client!!! xoxox

Exceptional service!

Amanda Rocks!!! She was very patient, professional and caring. On the parts of the process that took me longer to understand she quickly recognized this and took special care to make sure I was always up to speed. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to guide me through this process and woul...d highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce.

Above and beyond

We found Amanda based on her previous reviews and she did not disappoint. My ex is off the charts difficult to work with but Amanda practically made I possible for us to almost not be involved. We had a successful outcome and would definitely recommend. She's smart, thorough and results oriented. Tha...nk you Amanda!

The Lawyer You Really Want

A friend of mine recommended Amanda. I defended myself in court because of how crazy the accusations my ex wife was claiming and thought it was ridiculous. Well court did not go my way and I was in need of a good lawyer. Amanda handled herself very professionally and was always honest and up front wi...th me about everything even when I was being impatient and somewhat difficult. After dealing with a divorce lawyer in the past who did not do the same I can tell you its things like that you will really appreciate. Amanda gracefully presented everything in my case and even had to deal with a very shady opposing lawyer. I highly recommend Amanda and thank her for all the hard work and dedication she puts into my case.
