Family law for child custody

I had a few consultations with other lawyers and wasn't 100% sure about any of them. When it comes to something so important as your child you want to know you did your best to get the best help. I got recommended Amanda by a friend. Within a few minutes of my consultation with Amanda I knew she coul...d help me. My consultation wasn't easy because of what I've been going through. She was understanding, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and very honest with her answers. We aren't finished yet but I'm so very grateful to have her in my corner. I feel way more confident knowing I have her on my side.

Professional and Personable

Amanda was direct, clear, honest, and thorough. I felt heard, understood, and that I was receiving professional and sound advice. I will certainly seek out Amanda Thorpe for any future legal advice.

Estate settlement

We are so happy with Amanda Thorpe and her ability to quickly analyze our situation and give us advice to proceed with problems in settling our Mothers estate. We are grateful for her for agreeing to take our complicated case. She is very smart, quick minded, and has the ability to grasp the main poi...nts of a case. She is a fighter and we are indeed blessed to have her on our side. Her abilities would make her a wonderful judge.

Divorce? Look no further...

I found Mrs. Thorpe via avvo. For 9 months upon hiring Mrs. Thorpe I recieved good communication and representation regardless a 2 hr drive seperation, as I lived in a different county. Divorce isn't easy for anyone and she helped make the legal parts and all decisions easier. She knows family law ...and helped me gain full custody of my children and everything I desired at the close of my divorce. Let her do the legal thinking for you so you can concentrate oh healing and mending your family and life. It worked for me! Thank you Amanda!

Very attentive

Amanda is such a great attorney and person. I have been needing to have legal intervention for a while now but just to scared to start the process. Even tho I didn't speak to her directly, she still got back to me through email within a couple days. I absolutely plan on using AVVO for my legal issu...e and happy the attorneys don't just treat people as dollar symbols. I will love to have Amanda help me if she's in my region. I can honestly say that AVVO will be my only legal team to call on when I need help! Thanks again Amanda and AVVO:)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
