I was referred to Amanda by a family friend who is an attorney. At a time when I needed a strong advocate, I found her to be trustworthy, tough-minded, diligent, and very knowledgeable. She is exceptionally good at gathering, retaining, and explaining details. Her recall is impressive, and things just do not get past her. This is important especially, I think, to individuals going through stressful situations who need to trust that their lawyer is keeping track of everything. The trust I was able to put in Amanda was a gift at a difficult time. She is tough and also compassionate, bright and professional, with patience and warmth. She is poised and effective in the worst situations. I would highly recommend her.

My wife filed in Minnesota for divorce while I was residing in Mexico and then dragged out the negotiations. Amanda took control and was able to speed proceedings along always providing me with timely updates and she and the paralegals were always available. Very satisfactory outcome.

She was always available when I needed her, she was excellent in the court room and made me feel like I was her only client.

Amanda and Heimerl & Lammers made a scary & intimidating process seem approachable, and they acted with the utmost professionalism and transparency at every step of the way. I felt very comfortable I had made the right choice in both my approach in my matter and in hiring Amanda throughout my work with the firm. I took advantage of a complimentary phone and follow-up in-office session before moving forward with my matter. Amanda truly cares about making her clients feel comfortable before moving forward with her services in any decision. I believe my matter was taken care of as quickly and efficiently as it could possibly have been, with the highest quality at the same time. Amanda and her staff were also extremely quick to respond to any questions or feedback, which put me at ease and made me feel my matter was of top priority. I would recommend Amanda's services to anyone in a similar situation.

I first contacted Amanda in 2015 to help me draft a custody agreement. She was very helpful in understanding my needs and making sure the document addressed my concerns and then some. Since then, whenever I've had questions about family law, she has responded promptly with good advice, and her rates have been fair.

I called Amanda because I was looking for a family lawyer. I read her bio on the HL website and was impressed with her background in family law. I worried because I had never had to contact a lawyer before but Amanda made me feel really comfortable. She made the process easy to understand and I didn't feel like I was being judged. She made herself available to me promptly when I had questions or concerns. She did a great job helping me to achieve the results I felt was best for my family.

I hired Amanda for a child custody and support case, she did a fabulous job and is a great attorney! Unfortunately I learned the hard way how much damage an unprepared attorney can cause a person prior to working with Ms. Crain. Thankfully Amanda stepped in and turned things around quickly. I will definitely return for any future legal needs and highly recommend Amanda Crain and the staff at Heimerl & Lammers, LLC.

Amanda and her team were very organized, detailed and knowledgeable with helping me get my will, trust, power of attorney and health care directive in place. I now have peace of mind.

I consulted with, and eventually hired, Amanda to handle my divorce. To me, my situation was very complicated and emotional, but Amanda gave the right touch of level-headed and professional advice to bring me back from the 'deep end.' She was always there to explain things to me, and provide expectations of next steps in the process. Her knowledge of the system was very impressive! This gave our side strong credibility and the voice needed to get over the finish line. I would highly recommend Amanda to get you to a fair, equitable divorce that will set you on a great path forward.

I needed help fast in the summer of 2015. The incumbent attorney familiar with my case could not help me so I was without any help with two weeks to go before I had to be in court. Amanda and her staff filed all the motions and got everything ready on very short notice. I was very worried that I was not going to meet the court deadlines but Amanda made it happen. Family court is very stressful and Amanda walked me through all steps that needed to happen so that we could have the best chance at a good outcome. Amanda had a great deal of empathy for my issues. All the staff at her firm worked with me and were very helpful. I felt like I had a really good team on my side. I know from my experience with Amanda she has a great future and my endorsement as someone who cares and goes the extra mile to help others.
