The Law Office of Amanda E. Branca

When I saw how many Unilocal reviews there were here I thought they must be fake, not because Amanda isn’t awesome (she is every bit as awesome as all the reviews say) but because I truly thought I had to have been her only client. I don’t think I ever had to wait more than 24 hours to get a response from her… and usually, I’d get an answer to my question within an hour. As everyone else has said here, Amanda is utterly and truly amazing. I don’t think I can properly articulate how wonderful she is, but I’ll try:
I initially hired a seasoned attorney at a law firm only to realize pretty quickly I had made a huge mistake. In a panic, I called Amanda — unlike all the other firms I’d called, she actually answered the phone herself, helped me to calm down, and then answered every question I had. I had interviewed several other attorneys but knew right away I wanted to engage her. I subsequently forwarded her all the unanswered emails I’d sent to my previous attorney, and within three hours, Amanda had not only read them all (which was a feat in itself), but she’d crafted a lengthy email to me carefully going point by point though all of the issues I’d raised and outlining a game plan for us. This responsiveness and attentiveness continued throughout my entire divorce and I can’t emphasize enough how valuable this is. If you hire Amanda, you can be assured that every single email and call will be dealt with personally by her (not an incompetent paralegal) and that you will never have to wait days (even weeks) for a response.
In addition to being responsive, Amanda is a pro when it comes to her knowledge of family court law and her negotiation skills. My divorce was fairly complex and dealt with both child custody and an issue where there isn’t a lot of case law. I really appreciated that she was willing to educate me on the law (which unfortunately in many areas is far from black and white) and was honest with me in terms of what my best and worst case scenarios were. Managing expectations during divorce is critical for your sanity — Amanda is a pro at doing this.
As much as I wish I hadn’t had to go through a divorce, I am thrilled with my outcome and so grateful to have had Amanda by my side throughout the process. If you are just starting the scary and anxiety and anger-​filled process of divorce, I can’t recommend Amanda highly enough — she will fight for the best outcome possible and help you keep your sanity during an awful time in your life. She truly is a gem.

Amanda was great. She was very professional and knowledgable and added a human touch to a very difficult and emotional situation. Thank you Amanda. I couldn’t have done it without your help and understanding.

Amanda is an amazing attorney! From our initial phone consultation I was impressed with her knowledge, her considerate nature, and her strength. She always had my best interest in mind, she is efficient and responsive. I am so glad she was by my side this past year!

I was referred to Amanda and couldn’t be more relieved from her help through the divorce. She is an utmost professional, who has a solid grasp of process. Amanda helped to promptly move through all of the paperwork, filings and negotiations required to reach a settlement.
She definitely takes a vested interest in the well-​being of her clients, helping make tough situations manageable.
I’m certainly thankful that I was referred to Amanda.

I must say that Amanda is simply AMAZING! She is very easy to talk and a true professional. I felt as though she really cared about my well being and that of my daughters. I am truly blessed to have Amanda on my side. Thank you again for all that you do Amanda.

I wish I would have found Amanda earlier. A few years back I had gone through a very difficult divorce and custody battle. Looking back now I can see that my «father’s rights» lawyer milked me for every dime I had. I recently went back in to lower my alimony and child support. Amanda was recommended to me by a friend and I have not been disappointed. Amanda was extremely thorough in every aspect. She always had time for any questions and was always very personable. Amanda made it feel like I was talking to a friend instead of just my lawyer. You can tell how much passion and respect Amanda has for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone going thru a divorce or child custody case!

I never imagined being a single mom at 37 to a two year old and having to fight in court over custody and visitation with his father. By far the most stressful and most awful time in my life!
My first conversation with Amanda made me feel a little more at ease and confident with my decision to retain her as my attorney.
It has been a year and I am relieved to say that we just settled last week.
Amanda has been nothing but AMAZING! She always kept me informed, prepared and was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. She was always honest with me in regards to my expectations and reality.
Amanda always made sure I was informed and understood what was happening and/​or could potentially happen and if I didn’t she would explain it in detail! Speaking of detail, she doesn’t miss a beat… She is extremely knowledgable in her field and is very passionate about crossing her T’s and dotting her i’s. I am extremely grateful for her hard work and endless hours that she devoted to my case.
I have and will continue to recommend Amanda Branca to my family, friends, co workers and to all of you reading this review!
She is truly a Gem!

I cannot speak highly enough about Amanda Branca. She was up front & honest, personable and a true professional. I truly believe she is one of the best lawyers out there. She is easy to talk to, responds quickly and I know that she genuinely cared about my case & best interest. Dealing with legal forms and terms was like a new language to me. Amanda was always helpful when there was something I needed clarification on. I needed to file a TRO and Amanda had this drafted up and filed faster than I could believe. She is very good at what she does and is someone that you would want to have on your side!

Amanda is amazing! Her attention to detail, compassion and drive, without a doubt, got us our victories over and over again! Custody issues are never easy and Amanda took the time above and beyond many times to make sure I understood the process and and what to expect under many stressful and frustrating/​scary situations. Never could she not meet me, or call back, or find time. Never did I not feel like a priority! I am so thankful I found her! Class act!

This law office has been representing me for close to two years now and is outstanding! Ms. Branca is a master at her craft from writing amazing declarations to investigating the validity of opposing counsels arguments. Every time I went to court my expectations were always exceeded. Ms. Branca always made sure my case was handled effectively and efficiently with the utmost care. I have a unique case that involves twin boys with special needs. Ms. Branca did her research and triumphed in the court room which gave my boys above guideline support. I would recommend this law firm to everyone they are exceptional!

Amanda Branca is an exceptional attorney. During my child custody case, she was extremely detail oriented and on top of things. She always kept me abreast of my case and gave me great advice and counsel throughout the entire process. She helped me feel calmer and at ease when I got upset throughout the agonizing process of child custody cases. It isn’t an easy thing to go through and she truly fought hard for my son and I and put a lot of effort in doing everything she could to help me. The final court judgement has been great for my family and I couldn’t be more pleased to have had her by my side. I recommend Amanda Branca for any type of family law case!

Let me start by saying my original attorney was much more expensive and not nearly as creative or detailed as Amanda. The original MSA that was drawn up was so bad that my Ex-​Wife and I had been fighting over it’s interpretation for almost 3 years. It finally got to the point that we were forced to go back to court. I didn’t know what I was going to do, I had limited resources and my children were being kept from me. Amanda was a referral from a friend and immediately took action. She drafted a well thought out argument to all the underlying issues and was able to have my case resolved in less than 6 months. She was incredibly responsive, very understanding of our budget and honestly went above and beyond what would normally be expected. I would highly recommend speaking with Amanda before hiring anyone else. I really can’t say enough good thing about her. Not only did we have the agreement revised in a much more proficient way, I actually ended up with more custody, which is something I never thought was possible!

I couldn’t agree more with the other reviews left for Amanda, because they say it all! She knows family law inside and out and I was always impressed with her knowledge of the court system, agreements (MSAs), child custody, child visitation, and how to get what you want. I respect her, because if there are children involved, she is their best advocate! She truly wants what is best for the kids and she will stop at nothing to fight for them. At the same time, she understand crazy people like my husband’s ex wife! She could predict her actions months in advance, so she was always able to help us prepare and she coached us on how to interact with her in ways to avoid conflict and reach resolution. I honestly thought the hell would never end, but to my surprise Amanda reached an agreement out of court and things with the ex have never been better, or more normal. Amanda helped us set a precedence and establish boundaries moving forward that have not only helped to protect us, but they have also indirectly helped to facilitate a healthy co-​parenting relationship moving forward. We will forever be grateful to her for her hard work and dedication and the impact she has made on our lives.

Amanda Branca is quite simply an excellent attorney. She is absolutely brilliant when it comes to knowing the details of a case and applying the law to help in every way. I had the good fortune of having her as my attorney throughout my divorce and child custody battle. She made me feel like I was her one and only client because she knew my case inside and out. I am a «control freak» and the only person who could possibly put my mind at ease as I was fighting for my child was Amanda. Her knowledge of the law and family court system is extraordinary and she was able to guide me in the right direction based on the intricacys of my particular situation. I had an extremely positive outcome with my divorce and with my daughter. I am eternally grateful to Amanda.
