Amanda is the epitome of a professional, empathetic, energetic and caring attorney. She's not just a great attorney, she's an even better person .... Huge heart and soul.

I would be lying if I said anything negative about this fine lady and very best lawyer anyone could have to represent them! Amanda Salcido whom happens to be the wife of one of my close friends at church, was so dependable and helpful. She gave excellent advice, and even recommended things I did not think of! Talk about someone who knows what they are doing and the patience to get it done right! I'm so very happy and grateful that she was there, to help me through this challenging event of my life. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of legal service. If I'm silly enough to need this type of help again... Amanda Salcido, you know whom I'm calling!!!

“You are a wonderful attorney with feelings for your clients. I find this a terrific attribute in your profession that unfortunately seems to be very uncommon. You impressed me with your knowledge and your uncanny way of understanding the situation with limited explanation. Cheryl was also extremely sweet and kind when I had to call the office. You have definitely chosen well with her as your assistant. I will highly recommend you and your office staff to friends and neighbors who may be going through similar situations. Again, thank you for helping me through this terrible time.”

Amanda represented me for my divorce and custody case. First of all, she is a good person and that makes a huge difference. I truly mean that! Amanda really is a beautiful person-- all the way to her core. I really appreciate the honesty and integrity she showed me. Secondly, she is upfront, honest, and professional. She follows the law. She respects the court and the judges. She is by the books. She won't lie to you and tell you she can deliver unrealistic expectations. She isn't dishonest or a schmoozer. She is real and consciousness of your retainer fee. Lastly, and most importantly, she truly CARED about my case and my daughters well-being. There were numerous occasions where she responded to phone calls and emails, --even on the weekends and every time I communicated with her she was never inconvenienced by the question or concern. My trial did not go the way that I wanted it to go 100 %. With all of the evidence in the world, quality witnesses, and a great plan, the judge and the system are the deciding factors-- sometimes wrong and sometimes unfair. Attorneys aren't the judges, the system, or God. I can still say without a doubt that Amanda represented me with confidence, class, honesty, and integrity!

I am truly grateful to have found Amanda and her team. I have been trying to establish a relationship with my son for years. Because my son and his mother often moved between states, it made it very difficult for me. Shortly after my son moved to Florida I contacted Amanda's office. I was greeted by Cheryl. Cheryl was very kind and professional. Shortly after, I spoke with Amanda and took a while to explain my situation to the best of my knowledge. Amanda was very understanding and really felt like she cared about my son and myself. She reassured me she can help. From that moment on I actually had hope. For a handful of months, I dealt with Cheryl directly, sometimes even late night and weekends. During these times, I had some pretty unexpected moments that really required help...Cheryl was right there, seriously. I never felt alone the entire time. I finally flew 1500 miles down to Florida and met Amanda and Cheryl. They were very polite, professional, made me feel real comfortable and Amanda fought real hard for me with such compassion. Amanda and Cheryl truly changed my entire families lives as we got to welcome him to his family up north and at the moment I can not express in words as to how much I owe Cheryl and Amanda for what they have done for us.

I was going through a rather bitter divorce and was practically screaming for help. I had never dealt with anything like that and the proceedings were out of state for me. Amanda was a constant calming influence and began working quickly on my behalf the moment I contacted her. She made what was possibly the worst time in my life a survivable event and was the reassurance I needed when I needed it most.

Needless to say going through a divorce is a 10 on the scale of stress. OK here is a quick glimpse of my situation. My wife and I decided we wanted a divorce, and my wife filed for the divorce. The reality doesn't hit you until a guy shows up at your door with the papers. My goal was to keep the difference in my retirement and my wife's. It was about 40,000 . My plan was to use the money to refinance my home. My wife's name was on the mortgage, but both our names were on the title. (not an easy refinance situation) She was agreeable to this, because our house was under water since we bought in the boom. Her job was in another city, so moving worked for her. In the end we both managed to reach and agreement that we wanted. Dealing with the mortgage company was a whole other stress to get it done, but not for this review. My fear with attorneys, is that they would rather bleed their clients of their finances and almost encourage a fight between the couple. I have heard horror stories of divorces where this has happened. When I first met Amanda before I hired her, I had to go in and tell my story. I could feel myself choke up a bit, because the pain was new and it hurt. I looked up, and in her eyes I saw genuine compassion. I have always been able to read people, and I knew she was more than just a lawyer. She was a woman with a heart, and the person I wanted in my corner. Luckily my X wife and I are now good friends and the divorce worked out for the best for both of us. Had we had different attorneys that might not have been the case. I never had to go to trial with her, but trust me when I tell you this. She can be tough as nails if needed, and I did see that when we went through a couple scenarios in her office. If my Wife's attorney wanted to play hard ball, she would have kicked his tail lol. You do have to pay a non refundable retainer up front, but She is very honest on her billing. I think I found her through this referral website and I thank God every day that I did. I also have to mention her legal assistant Stephanie. She was there for me on many e-mails and frantic office visits . I couldn't have gotten through it all with out both of them working as a team.
