Meet Amanda
I am a mother, wife and attorney, living just outside of the Twin Cities, with my husband, our two children and our two cats. Fifteen years ago, I laid down roots in Minnesota. Prior to that, I was lucky enough to experience other parts of this country and world, when I lived in New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Alabama and Europe.
​
If I am not at home or in the office, you will likely find me carting my teenage daughter to softball or dance or taking a bike ride around the neighborhood with my younger (but sassier!) daughter.
​
I practice exclusively in family law because it allows me to help families when they can be most at crisis. My office is in Anoka, but I represent clients throughout the metro area and Twin Cities.
​
I graduated with a Juris Doctor from William Mitchell College of Law after obtaining dual Bachelor of Science degrees in International Finance and French, with a Minor in Economics (with Honors) from the University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE ROLL!!).
I was honored to be rated by SuperLawyers as a 2021 Rising Star and have been repeatedly named as a NorthStar Lawyer due to my ongoing pro bono contributions each year .
​
I offer a complimentary 30-minute telephone consultation by appointment only. After completing my brief consultation intake form, I would be happy to speak with you about your legal goals and determine if I am the right fit for you.
