About Amanda

High-conflict family law, parenting and appeals — for people with cases involving safety concerns, complex parenting issues or urgent child matters

High-conflict family law is not for the faint of heart. High-conflict parenting cases are among the most demanding in family law. They often involve allegations of abuse, alienation, mental health concerns, or chronic litigation behaviour. This practice is particularly skilled at presenting complex family dynamics in a way judges can understand and act upon. It requires experience, judgment, and the ability to manage both legal complexity and human volatility. With over 24 years of experience, a family social work foundation, and a reputation as a law-smart, fierce litigator and strategic negotiator, this lawyer provides advocacy that is both powerful and principled. If your case involves high conflict, safety concerns, complex parenting issues, appeals, or urgent child matters, you need more than a generalist. You need someone who understands the system, the psychology, and the strategy — and who knows how to win when it matters most. Handled thousands of family law cases.

Before you call

  1. 1Check what you would pay. Your rate depends on your own personal net income and your family household size. See the reduced-fee schedule.
  2. 2Give your membership number when you call. Professionals only take registered JusticeNet clients — the number is what gets you the reduced rate.
  3. 3Know your own personal net income and your family household size. Count yourself and the family members in your household.

Every case is voluntary: Amanda decides whether to take yours on, and you decide whether to hire her. JusticeNet takes no part in the case and no fee from it.
