Amanda’s robust legal foundation includes experience in appellate advocacy. This experience provides a critical edge in strategic case planning and ensures meticulous attention to legal precedent and procedural integrity at every stage. This background is invaluable for clients whose cases may require or benefit from a strong appellate posture.

Recognizing that complex family law cases often intersect with other legal and financial disciplines, Amanda has cultivated extensive experience collaborating with and challenging a diverse network of highly respected experts. She regularly partners with:

  • Forensic Accountants and CPAs to uncover hidden assets, trace funds, and provide accurate business valuations.
  • Psychologists and child development specialists in sensitive custody matters, including alienation, coaching, and alleged abuse.
  • Handwriting Experts and Fraud Examiners when authenticity and financial integrity are questioned and paramount.

This collaborative approach ensures that every facet of a client’s case is thoroughly investigated and strategically addressed, no matter how obscure.

At the core of Amanda’s practice is an unwavering commitment to detail and a belief in empowering clients through comprehensive guidance. She meticulously analyzes every piece of evidence, every financial statement, and every legal nuance to build the strongest possible case.

PERSONAL LIFE

Amanda’s journey to becoming a leading family law attorney is a testament to her dedication and resilience. As a single mother of two, Amanda put herself through law school while continuing her full-time career as a senior paralegal at Cantor Law Group. Amanda was a senior family law paralegal for over a decade before being admitted to the Bar, and she worked in that role throughout her undergraduate and law school careers. In law school, Amanda was a law clerk for the United States Attorney’s Office, a moot court member, and a competitor in various trial and negotiation competitions. This unique background provides her with an invaluable perspective, understanding of the legal work from the ground up, and the daily challenges many of her clients face. Outside of her practice, Amanda enjoys watching professional sports and making memories with her children. She is a Chicago sports fan (Go Bears!) and enjoys NFL football, golfing, traveling, and taking weekend trips to California with her kids.   

Client Review

Amanda was on top of my case and very informative. Amanda was also very thorough and calculated. My case was high conflict and I was dealing with a mother that hid the birth of my daughter, changed my daughters name, and did what she could to prevent me from seeing her.
