“My life would be very different today if I had not had the representation of Amanda Grant. Thanks to Amanda’s skills, commitment, and genuine empathy during an extremely complex case, I now have my children back in my life permanently. I am beyond grateful to Amanda, and I highly recommend her”
“Amanda has been nothing but short of amazing for my daughter, grandson and our family during a time that had many challenges and hurdles to overcome. She kept us informed as to what she was doing and what to expect each step of the way. Anytime we had questions or concerns she would do a phone conference so we were all on the same page and that was truly appreciated. Words can’t express how much her caring, understanding and hard work on our case meant to us. She will be the first person I call if I ever need her services again.”

She was referred to us by a friend and she helped us navigate a very emotional and tough time in our lives that involved the custody and safety of our grandchild.
