Amanda is a consumate professional who had my back through a rather challenging divorce. I highly recommend her.

My case is not over yet, but with the help of Amanda my mind has been at peace. She has done so much work for my daughter and I. We have had a very tough custody arrangement/battle and Amanda has helped every second of the way pushing for what is best for the child. If you want a lawyer who hears you out, hears your needs your wants and requests hire Amanda she will not let you down. I cannot thank her enough and my case is almost done.

My young children live in Sweden with me and they went to visit their father in AZ on summer break 2019, and he never returned them. We had a written agreement for their return and we did at this point already have an ongoing court case in Sweden. I applied for a Hague Convention case with the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and I hired Amanda to represent me in AZ to get my children back. I knew from the start that I could not have gotten a better lawyer. Amanda and her team listened to me, asked the right questions and I felt that she really cared about me and my children. Amanda is persistent, my case was not an easy one, she worked hard and never gave up. Amanda knows what she is doing and she is easy to work with. I sat in Superior Court in a language that is not my native tounge and she made me feel that I could do it, and I did. And we won. She helped me bring my children back home and I will be forever grateful. You can not get a better lawyer.

Wow. If I could give Amanda more stars, she would get all of the stars! My divorce was a doozy and had quite a few bumps along the way. However, for a case involving relocation of a minor child, out of state, request for full residential and legal custody, she fought concise and she fought hard. The details around my case were tricky to navigate, given the petitioner’s history and manor, but 229 days later, and a mere 141 days after hiring her (with the delay being that of an uncooperative petitioner) my final divorce decree was signed, sealed and delivered. Thank you Amanda for your diligence, respect, and support through this battle. I am confident that I picked the best lawyer for my divorce case.

I had a collections notice from something I did not owe, and was so worried it would ruin my credit. I had gotten nowhere with the company, they just wanted money. Amanda contacted them on my behalf stating the law and the facts- I had a notice they were closing the claim within a week. I am so thankful for her prompt and professional attention to a matter that really had me nervous.

Ms.Johnson was very understanding and easy to talk to. She helped to settle things fairly and avoided costly battling over petty issues. She was very efficient and no nonsense which made the process much easier. She explained what needed to be done and helped me make informed decisions to achieve my objective. She was able to guide me through a difficult situation and reach a reasonable outcome so I could be in a solid position to move forward.
