Amanda let me know up front what we were dealing with on the divorce. She never gave me false information or never told me what I wanted to hear Amanda always told me the truth from the very start even if I did not want to hear it. She had my sons best interest at heart when we were going through the whole process. The outcome of my divorce could not have been better. I am very pleased with how things turned out. It was a scary process and she always made it smooth and easy. She was always there to answer any questions that I had. I would Highly recommend Amanda Thornton she is the best!!!

She's a honest person & will do everything she can to get the results you desire! She will not fill you with false Hope's & will tell you exactly what you are expecting to battle when dealing with the court systems . When feeling hopeless she will provide clarity. She KNOWS her stuff! I've retained her twice for two different issues. My fiance will be retaining her soon over some custody issues as well. She works hard & is worth every penny.

I hired Amanda to handle my contempt of court case and change of my original parenting plan. She did an outstanding job. She was very attentive and aggressive. I was very happy the the job that she did.

Amanda is a SMART, efficient advocate! She is very easy to communicate with. When she referred to our kids as, "My boys", I was sold. She has the solutions and we can now rest easy thanks to her suggestions and actions.

Amanda is by far the best family law attorney I have encountered. All of the attorneys I spoke with prior to retaining Amanda gave mixed and inconsistent information. Due to the small town buddy system, many of them were afraid to take on my case. Amanda accepted my case and began working to fix my situation immediately. Amanda is a very straight forward and honest attorney, she does not sell you false hopes or ideas that are unattainable. For some clients this may not be what you want to hear, but it’s what you need to hear. Amanda’s office staff is very prompt and precise with handling all matters including but not limited to serving, processing, and collecting information. Thanks to Amanda I now have a reasonable amount of visitation, and am able to build a thriving relationship with my child. Should I ever need attorney services again there is no question that I will be a returning client. Prior to retaining an attorney elsewhere, I recommend that you give her a call.

I am so grateful for Amanda Thornton. As the unmarried father in my custom situation, I really felt hopeless when my ex moved my children out of state. Amanda took over my case after several mis-steps were taken with another attorney. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about the laws and upfront about the process. She fought for me every step of the way, and ultimately we had a favorable outcome. Amanda didn't make any promises, but she listened and believed in me. She communicates every step of the way - and has a down to earth manor to explaining each step. Her knowledge of the law, strength, and wit brought the best possible outcome in a no win situation for me and my children. I absolutely recommend Amanda and her team.

She made the worst event of my life end quickly and to my favor. So reasonable in cost. Generous with her time, calls back and helps right away. The best attorney I ever had. Such a thoughtful and capable attorney. Really so thankful I had her.

Amanda was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Where I had questions, she had answers. She expedited the divorce process to the beat of her ability and I can not thank her enough for helping me turn the page and end that chapter of my life. She never once made me feel like she didn't have time for me nor that she wasn't invested in me getting the outcome I wanted. I tell anyone I can about her services. I'd give her 10 stars if I could.

Amanda is down to earth, realistic and straight forward. She knows her stuff and constantly plays out every angle. A true advocate and a bulldog for fathers rights.

I had an attorney prior to hiring Amanda that was absolutely terrible. Once I fired them and hired Amanda mid-case, my entire situation did a complete 180. I was listened to, respected, my time wasn't abused, and I came out with everything I wanted. She fought for me like I was the only person she had on her agenda. I never once felt like she was too busy or didn't care. If I hadn't hired her, who knows where I would be. She was a life saver and a game changer. She doesn't take any BS and is a straight shooter too. I'll never have another attorney. She's the only one I'll ever use from now on. I can't thank her enough.
