Amanda Summer Husted

I first hired Amanda in 2017. The over all out come that first time was ok. Everyone was satisfied with the end results. I again hired her in 2021 and am so glad I did. Just like before I had a excellent experience with Amanda and all in her office. Things always were discussed thoroughly. Best and w...orst outcomes were always discussed so that I was able to make informed choices. Email and phone calls were always easy and I had no issues ever getting in touch or asking questions. Amanda and her staff always made sure I was prepped and ready for all court hearings. I would absolutely recommend Amanda again and again.

I retained Amanda Husted’s services in 2019 for a custody/domestic partnership dissolution case that involved a tremendous amount of complexity and conflict. Amanda took an honest and focused approach to my case and was able to reduce the level of conflict and anxiety immediately. I never questione...d Amanda’s advocacy for my daughter or the preservation of our relationship, nor did I ever see anything that would indicate she was driven primarily by financial gain versus doing what was in our best interest. Although Amanda did have a very busy calendar, she was always available for consultation during key decision points and critical phases of the case (such as plan negotiations and trial prep). I could not have been happier with Amanda’s services and still consult with her prior to moving forward with any decisions that could have future implications.

I hired Amanda for a few family law matters, including adoption, legal separation, divorce and an anti-stalking order over a three year period (2018-2021). Prior to needing her services in 2018 I had never needed to interact with the court system. Amanda’s approach put me at ease, and I was grateful ...for that. With each issue, she gave me an initial set of opinions and followed up with further research where warranted. She was very responsive to my questions and very realistic about what could be achieved and what was worth my time to pursue. I didn’t feel pressured by Amanda to adopt a particular course of action…she gave me her advice and let me decide. I felt I was getting good advice and support throughout each issue we dealt with. I highly recommend Amanda Husted as a family law attorney.

I hired Ms. Husted for a reasonably straight forward custody and parenting time issue. She was happy to take my money and tell me everything that I wanted to hear but did not follow through with what we had agreed upon. She is extremely hard to get a hold of and I mostly received replies from her sec...retary even-though I would repeatedly ask for her to contact me. She wrote up a final court order that in no way was what was actually agreed upon and then signed off on it as if I had reviewed it and approved the changes. She made substantial mistakes and then refused to correct her mistakes. She ignored my concerns and objections to the final documents. She took over three months to write up a final court order that was supposed to take two weeks. She did not represent me in a way that any intelligent human would find acceptable. I am in the process of filing a complaint with the Oregon State Bar because of her negligence and misconduct. I will never consult her for any legal advice or for representation in the future. I am appalled!!!
