About

I am a family law attorney located in Wayzata, Minnesota.  I understand that most people going through the court process for family matters will have a continuing relationship with the other party.  I work with my clients to achieve the best results possible without destroying their relationship with the other party.  If matters are not able to be resolved outside of court, I have the experience to be able to handle high level litigation through trial. My practice focuses on family law matters including divorce, custody, parenting time, child support, paternity, third party custody, and grandparent visitation.

Amanda was exceptional. Similar to wanting a doctor with great bedside manner, she was an outstanding lawyer. She is intelligent, calm, kind and methodical. Unlike many lawyers, she isn’t interested in racking up your billable hours; she works efficiently and only in your best interest. She always responded quickly to calls and emails. Her demeanor was professional yet stern. She is well respected by mediators and judges. My divorce was extremely stressful and Amanda did a great job keeping me calm during times where I was super emotional and stressed. She continued to be the voice of reason and kept me on the course which led to my desired outcome. I would highly recommend Amanda, especially to any man going through a custody battle.

I came to Amanda in 2011. She was quick to answer calls and emails, ethical, and kind. She sat on the phone with me while I cried, and told me how she was going to fight for my case. She knows the law really well. She has a very warm nature to her.

I switched to Amanda right before the conference with the judge. Best decision I’ve made in a long while. Amanda was even keel and genuinely had my best interest in mind. Professionally, she is proficient and highly competent. Really glad and fortunate to have her as counsel throughout the divorce process.

Amanda was very professional, very helpful, took extra time to answer questions and seemed to be very available. She seemed to know more about domestic violence and child custody than anybody else I had consulted with. For reasons outside of my control, I ended up working with someone else, although Amanda was my first choice. I would hire her in the future.

Amanda was absolutely amazing in helping me deal with my divorce and custody. She was very professional, yet kind and caring in dealing with my case. I could tell that she truly cared about my case and I wasn't just a number. Amanda was very quick to return emails and phone calls. Amanda pushed for me to get my case taken care of in a very timely manner when my ex husbands lawyer was very slow and not helping things move along as quickly. I feel so very fortunate to have worked with Amanda and would highly recommend her to anyone.

I feel very fortunate to have had Amanda working for me to resolve long standing asset divorce issues with my former husband. Amanda was clear in her advice and I felt at all times she had my best interest foremost in this very difficult process. She explained all the risks and benefits of litigation options and resolved the case in a matter of a few months. At no time did I feel she was trying to drag out the process and was able to bring my former husband into agreement for final resolution, something I was never able to do on my own. I would highly recommend Amanda to anybody needing an attorney in MN for family issues, especially women in need of an advocate during divorce.

I was trying to find a lawyer for my sister in law. I reviewed many lawyers and they all pretty much said the same! Until I found Amand! Her reviews were outstanding and even from opposing counsel' I knew I had to call her! Just like the reviews no nonsense approach very professional and her demeanor is always the same, both in court over the phone and in person. A true professional! I would recommend her to any of my colleagues without hesitation!

Amanda was very helpful and I have recommended Amanda to many coworkers and would recommend her to a close friend or family member. She is very empathetic and understands family law...you can tell she took her education seriously and knows her stuff. She and the staff at Maenner Minnich are super willing to help you get what you need done...on TIME TOO! (help with affidavits, legal terminology, emotional support etc) My case is a custody case, which Amanda knows a lot about. You can be confident in court that someone who is trustworthy and knowledgeable will have your back.

Amanda was fantastic, she's confident, knowledgeable, and sticks to the point. She handled my relocation out of state case in a timely manner. I really enjoyed working with her. She handled my case out of court and set up deadlines to move things along. I can't say enough. I would contact her for any future cases that I may have.
