Ms. Amanda Jacobson came highly recommended by a friend who is also an attorney . Amanda got me my life back - she fought for me for 2 and a half years. Extremely intelligent , knowledgable ,tenacious and just never gives up on her clients . If you found yourself in a tough criminal case she is your attorney and you will be grateful for her representation . The best in Florida.

Amanda came highly recommended to me when I needed an attorney for a post-divorce issue. She is very knowledgeable and well respected in the community. She always made herself available for calls, texts, and emails and was very straightforward about what to expect, never just telling me what I wanted to hear. She was great at helping me try to keep emotion out of my decision making, but at the same time was thoughtful and caring. I truly appreciate all of her hard work on my case and would highly recommend her!

I've had the pleasure of Amanda Jacobson representing me in multiple cases. Both instances I was BEYOND pleased with the outcome of her representation. I would definitely would seek her counsel in the future. What separates Amanda from other lawyers is her years of experience as a litigator and her focus on Family Law. This has proven to be EXTREMELY valuable during my two cases. Her confidence coupled with her knowledge of the law proved to be beneficial for me. I can't stress enough - If I had any legal issues in the future - Amanda would be my first call. I'm incredibly grateful for her the work she's done. THANK YOU, AMANDA!!

Hired Attorney Debra Ferwerda

I hired Debra to handle my very contentious divorce. Not only is she very professional, knowledgeable and experienced, but what struck me most was how quickly she would personally respond to questions or concerns I had about my case. She calmly walked me through everything. She's tough, honest and straightforward. I highly recommend Debra.

While other lawyers I consulted provided me with what could have been a good legal strategy it was advice that would have damaged my whole life. Andrew instead listened to me and made sure i knew that his strategy was to work for me and what i wanted. He was always responsive, i never had to wait to communicate with him. If i called him he called back fast. If i had a question, he had answers. Andrew was awesome and I highly recommend him.

Was referred to Amanda by a friend when I was in need of a prenuptial agreement. This was not some "cookie cutter" pre-nup paperwork but a highly customized document that covered every aspect of my personal and professional assets. Amanda worked extremely well with the opposing council and helped keep me grounded through a very stressful situation. While I hope I never need to use the documentation we put together I am comfortable in knowing that I am secure.
Thank you again.

I used Debra both for my initial divorce and later a modification. She was always wonderful to work with even under my difficult circumstances. Debra is responsive, caring, thorough and really took the time to walk me through each step of process. She made herself available whenever I had questions. I have already referred other friends and acquaintances to her and l will continue to do so whenever needed. Highly recommended.

Amanda is a compassionate, caring and professional attorney. If you are looking for someone who is not afraid to fight for what your rights are then Amanda is your lady! Divorce is hard for both parties and Amanda understands this..this is where the compassion comes into play! She will ensure the rights you are entitled to will be secured while helping establish a healthy middle ground for both parties to ensure there is little to fight about in the future. It's the best result you could ask for
