  • Amanda is the best in the business, and such a lovely person as well. Everything she does is a success. I highly recommended her for a top class, professional service.

    Gemma Schofield
  • I would describe Amanda as being caring and a Red Cross ambassador for family law. She was my modern day Florence Nightingale, and I will always be eternally grateful. Amanda, like myself, has a young family and I trust her. She is always so kind and so very clever and at the top of her profession in UK family law and international cases. I would not hesitate to recommend her, I trust her implicitly and I knew that putting my family’s future in her hands would get the best most amicable, positive outcome for me and my family. Thank for all your have done for me.
