I want to start by saying that after reading some of these terrible reviews, it really caught me…read moreoff guard. Nothing in those 1 Star reviews sounds like this law firm. Amanda and her staff are probably the MOST professional and transparent business I have encountered. When you get a lawyer, you don't want someone that is going to tell you yes, yes, yes I can do that. You want the truth. Is this a good move? What should I do? How much trouble am I in? etc.. Amanda is upfront, honest, compassionate and most importantly, she is a damn good and professional attorney. She's what we old heads call a "straight shooter". She has fostered professional relationships with her colleagues and has a very good name at the courthouse. If she says she can help you, then she can. My case involved custody in which it would've and could've been contested but she worked closely with the opposing counsel and helped us come to an amicable agreement that was fair and in the best interest of the child and not emotionally charged decision making parents that are no longer together. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that. The best part? It was fast. Her staff was very helpful and professional as well. If you want a lawyer that will be straight with you and tell you what you NEED TO HEAR and not what you WANT TO HEAR, then Amanda and her staff are the team you are looking for. She will not let you down and her fees are the best in the county without a doubt. Give her an opportunity to represent you and give yourself an opportunity to get some calm and peace knowing that she will fight for you.

Some of us have jobs that we can't just take time off of like that. I didn't speak to him for months so we were not prepared at all!! My ex was able to have witnesses that I couldn't because my other sons do not live in the state!! Obviously they knew about the court date but I didn't! I would have to email the same thing over and over again and was billed for it. I found out very quickly that I was just paying my money for the lawyers to go in the back and make an agreement anyway. Things were not brought up that should have been such as domestic violence. I feel like my kids were not cared about at all. They just take your money and lack empathy. I'm still waiting for all of my paperwork to be returned years later!!!!

Avoid this lawyer at all costs as he is an absolutely waste of money. This man charged my husband a…read more$3500 non-refundable fee to offer bare minimum service. Then he charges a couple more thousand dollars on top of the retainer fee to actually do something about your case. This lawyer has ZERO empathy and compassion for the service members he is assisting. The Marines already make low income and for him to basically steal money for doing the absolute bare minimum work is appalling!! He is a legal thief hiding behind his contracts with no morals. We decided to go to free legal services on base and won the case. Wish my husband didn't go to this thief. Thank you Wilkie for stealing money from the people who give up their lives to serve this country. Hope you sleep really well at night after a hard day of robbing Marines.
