About
When you ask anyone what the most important thing is in their life, the most popular answer is, “family.” My answer to this question is no different. We all define our “family” in a unique way, and like anything else, a family experiences change throughout the course of a person’s life. If you’re looking for a Family Law attorney, it’s because your family is about to experience a change. This may be for good or bad, for better or worse, but change means life, as you once knew it, is going to be different. More likely than not, this change may be overwhelming and it will bring some level of stress and anxiety with it. The role of a Family Law attorney is to help you navigate through this time–from a legal standpoint as well as a personal standpoint. I watched as my aunt and uncle went through the emotional ups and downs of adopting a daughter from another country. I experienced the eventual, long anticipated happiness that came with the finalization of their adoption. I’ve watched as loved ones experienced the many emotions that come with the end of a marriage. These experiences drew me to Family Law.Helping people, truly listening to a person’s problems, and finding a solution is my passion. I love listening to people’s stories. I love hearing a person’s history, hearing about their family, hearing where they began and where they are now. This passion for helping people is what I bring to each and every client’s case. Before joining Sodoma Law, I practiced with Legal Aid of North Carolina. I immediately began representing clients in the courtroom and in negotiations with the opposing side. Each of my clients faced stressful and sometimes overwhelming change. Among other things, I represented clients in obtaining domestic violence protective orders against abusive family members and I represented clients in securing custody of their children against a partner who was unfit to care for their children. I understand that whether my client is experiencing what they would describe as a good or bad change, they need a compassionate, knowledgeable, strong advocate to help them navigate this time in their lives. They need an advocate who will listen to their story and help them achieve their goals, whatever those goals may be. I will listen to your story, I will take time to understand your goals, and I will cater my approach to your case depending on what you need from me during your time of need. I’ve always had a desire to help people, and at Sodoma Law, I have the opportunity to help my clients overcome change in their family, define their “new normal,” and come out even better on the other side.

I would like to commend Amanda and her team for the outstanding work they did in representing me. Most importantly, they thoroughly communicated throughout the process and were very supportive in their approach.
Amanda fought hard me and my little girl, and I will never forget that! Our case was very dirty, filled with lies and malicious litigation. I wish I had half the grace that she had to deal with this kind of behavior. Amanda knee all the little details and the truth to the whole case. I feel as if she felt it with me. In June 2019 a very strong lawfare storm came upon us, but Amanda stood and fought for us and our daddy/daughter relationship. She always kept me updated by even the minute, and she won us our time back! Amanda is really, really good lawyer and a great person with a passion for people and a loving, kind heart. And she’s even a little bit funny too! I would recommend and do recommend her to anyone who asks me.
I have used Amanda Cubid and her staff on a dispute with a neighbor that got heated. This was compounded by the fact my wife was terminally ill with cancer at the time and I did not have the time or the energy to deal with the crazy other party. Amanda took the bull by the horns!!! I did very little and she was successful in bringing the issue to a favorable close at a reasonable cost!! I felt she really took a personal interest in my case as she could tell I was being harassed and I really appreciated that aspect of her service. I would high recomend her and this firm seeking over the top legal services at a fair rate.
I had previously consulted two different attorneys and when I met with Amanda I knew she was the one. During the consultation she was very thorough and very understanding to this difficult and sensitive time of my life. She is very personable and answered all of my questions and doubts immediately. Although our time was cut short (not because of her, but because I was able to work things out amicably) she was always there through this roller coaster process, day and night. Her responses to the opposing party were exactly what I wanted and more. I am hoping not to need these type of services again, but if this was to be the case, I would ask that Amanda be the one to represent me. Thank you Amanda and team.
I have dealt with attorneys for 45 years in my career. They were primarily business attorneys. When we needed an attorney to deal with an emergency intervention for one of our granddaughters I was referred by a close friend and commercial attorney to the Sodoma Law firm, more specifically Penny Hefner and Amanda Cubit. Amanda and her team, including her assistant Lindsey Lundy, were incredibly efficient, moved in all haste and was able to accomplish what was asked of them in this jurisdiction. There was no time to get it all done as it all came to a head on a Friday. They put it in high gear and did not stop until the desired result was accomplished, as best as it could be under the circumstances. If you meet with them and consult, you will not leave without engaging them. Family law is very stressful for all parties. By our putting our faith in Amanda, we were able to let go and know that whatever needed to be done would be. It was amazing to feel the relief once we put our matter in their hands. Classy, efficient, professional and compassionate in how things are handled. Grandparents have a tough time trying to protect their grandchildren when their own child has fallen off the rail. If that is happening to you, I suggest you make a call to Amanda and set up a consult.
Handled everything promptly and thoroughly. I felt very confident and well-informed having Amanda Cubit and Sodoma Law representing me. I was very uneasy about navigating through the legal system, but Amanda’s knowledge of the process as well as other lawyers and judges kept us on course.
Amanda and her team were top notch! She turned a difficult process into one that was quick and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her and her office. Everyone was quick to respond and provide an outcome that I was very happy with.
Great lawyer
Only recently considering separation, I decided to meet with an attorney just to find out about my options. I called around to several firms but Amanda was the first attorney I connected with that I felt was actually hearing me. During our initial phone call, and throughout our consultation, I could tell Amanda took the time to listen, and hear, my concerns and then gave helpful, insightful feedback on various questions. Her patience with me was unrivaled! Thank you for being a calm spot in the storm.
Amanda is awesome! From start to finish she made sure to keep me informed with regular communication to me via telephone or email. She is very thorough in her research and strives to ensure all details are correct. She is passionate about what she does and it truly meant the world to me that she cared about how my situation turned out. She would buys you truthfully and work for the best possible outcome for you. She will advise you truthfully and work for the best possible outcome for you. I would definitely use her again but I pray I never need her services again LOL Thanks Amanda, you Rock!!!
