DO NOT HIRE!

I hired Amanda to represent me on my wrongful termination cases with the EEOC NLRB FMLA and OSHA. I paid $540 over 3 months in monthly installments and Amanda never filed in representation with the EEOC or DOL, as contracted and agreed via email. Amanda waited 2 months to file representation with the... NLRB and never requested files, documents or case status. Amanda was incompetent, never reviewed my case files and wrote a weak, insufficient OSHA rebuttal that included factually incorrect information. Ultimately, the had to had to write my own rebuttal after multiple email requests to be contacted regarding the lack of representation. Amanda was rude, disrespectful and refused to take accountability. Amanda made excuses to not being able to personally contact me and would only communicate through email. Amanda refused to provide case updates and documents and I had to send several “Final Request” emails to receive a response. Amanda submitted documents to OSHA without my knowledge or consent, which was only discovered in the documents she refused to turn over. After 3 months of poor communication and inadequate representation, I terminated legal services and requested a refund. The response was that Amanda was all of a sudden working on the OSHA case for “free”, as a courtesy because I was a returning client, which was never discussed until I requested a refund, as if allegedly representing me for “free” excused incompetent representation. Unfortunately, the numerous Google reviews echo's the exact same issues dealing with Amanda, I have also posted a Google review with supporting documentation such as emails, text messages, etc., as evidence. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DO NOT HIRE AMANDA BROOHIUS! INTEGRITY MATTERS WHEN YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO UPHOLD THE LAW!

Smart, Strategic, Best Employment Law Attorney in GA

I will be forever grateful to Amanda Brookhuis and the team at The Kirby G. Smith Law Firm. From the first moment I spoke with her, I knew I was in the right hands for my employment law case. Employment law issues can seem very daunting, like a David vs. Goliath scenario. I knew I had been taken adva...ntage of as a loyal employee, and I knew I deserved to recoup my unpaid wages, but I had no idea where to start. Amanda understood my situation from moment one, and immediately took the reigns. Amanda Brookhuis is smart as a whip, honest, and straight forward. When my former employer tried to play games and continue to manipulate the facts, Amanda stood firm and fought for me every step of the way. She is not intimidated and will go toe-to-toe with any legal adversary, using her unrivaled expertise and knowledge of employment law to run circles around opposing counsel. Amanda Brookhuis is THE attorney you need to hire for employment law issues.

She saved me

I went into my divorce unsure of so many things and with so many questions. Amanda answered each question with my best interest in mind and guided me through the entire process. I feel content in knowing that I was provided with top-notch professionalism, patience, and promptness.

Professional and personable

I hired Amanda at the beginning of my divorce and custody hearings. She helped me to understand the court process, was nice and understanding. Amanda would call back in a timely manner when I left a message. I would recommend Amanda to my family and friends!!!!!
