Mediation 75%

Stay out of court and be the master of your destiny. Any agreement you and your ex can make is going to be easier to follow, than a judgment imposed upon you by a third party who doesn't know you, your child(ren), or your ex.

Divorce and Separation 20%

Divorce representation and coaching to help you close one door and open another.

20%
Marriage and Prenuptials 5%

I encourage more people to consider a prenuptial agreement. These agreements inform parties of their rights and responsibilities during marriage and may actually strengthen your marriage by opening the lines of communication regarding finances before there is a problem.

Highly Recommend You Hire Amanda!

Amanda is quick to respond, and knows her stuff. She is an extremely vital resource in maneuvering the Contra Costa County Family Legal System. At a time when I was most vulnerable and paralyzed from being overwhelmed, Amanda swooped in and took care of me, guiding and explaining my options the whole... way, doing what was in my family's best interest. She gave me insight and ideas that I would have never thought of! I HIGHLY recommend her as a family attorney in the Bay Area! You won't go wrong hiring her!

Highly recommended

I contacted Amanda when I was frustrated with my previous Attorney. She listened to my whole case and the current situation thoroughly and suggested the next steps. She explained me my rights which helped me raise my comfort level. Amanda is very knowledgeable, competent and logical when preparin...g and presenting the case during motion and trial hearings. Her personal conduct and treatment towards me was very human, professional and encouraging. I highly recommend Amanda to people dealing with family matters in legal dispute. I will always be thankful to Amanda for everything she has done.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Although we've never met in person, Amanda and I have worked together to put together two prenuptial agreements and she has been a pleasure to work with. Always cooperative, always friendly, responds swiftly via phone and email. Overall, a welcome addition to the Bay Area legal community. I enjoy working with Amanda and recommend her to other attorneys and potential clients without hesitation. It's good to find an opposing counsel who is reasonable and responsive. Makes it much easier to get things done for my clients and, I'm sure, for hers."

In Re Marriage of Doe

Verdict was favorable to my client. As required by the bar, I must say that this result is not typical and is not a guarantee of outcome in your case.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
