We couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. My husbands previous attorney was slow to respond and didn't fight for what he wanted or what was in the best interest of the child, she just went with status quo of a divorce. We wanted to find someone who would meet our expectations this time around as we were fighting for custody of his son and she did not disappoint. Amanda was very honest about what we should and shouldn't be concerned about, and even pivoting in the course of action which was still fair and reasonable, but in the child's best interest. She stayed cool, calm, and collective and stayed focused on what we came to do instead of the little things that don't matter to the judge. She makes you feel comfortable during trial and keeps you true to yourself. She is worth every penny and then some. Her paralegals are amazing as well - they have a fantastic leader to learn from.

I'm finally writing a review after realizing what it's like to have a good attorney.... reflecting back on the recent past of how bad my experience Was with Amanda and her husband Bruce (whom I used to hold high on a pedestal) my review is well over due. I have never cried so hard in my life being forced to agree to a custody arrangement I never would have approved of was like losing a loved one. I felt like I had no voice and the opposing party called all the shots and I was just made to think I had to agree to everything they threw at me! I dealt more with her assistant, who at the time had a very shallow understanding of the legal world in some departments I knew more! Bless her heart she was super sweet but not the right person for the job! I tell everyone of this experience and so happy I finally found one wonderful attorney! Going through a custody battle has been the hardest experience of my life and I lost my dad at 15 years of age..... Amanda didn't come close in making it any better! Money hungry didn't felt like they cared whatsoever. If your made of money you may have a better experience sad to say.

I am ever so grateful for Amanda and her team. Their commitment to professionalism combined with sensitivity and compassion deserves five stars! I have gained a new respect for those that have chosen Family Law as their path. Emotions run high, and Amanda's honesty and patience during my distress and fight kept me focused. There were no flighty, huge promises. She is committed to getting to the best outcome possible!

Amanda has been my attorney for about 4 years or so. She is honest and trustworthy I really appreciate that she is upfront and tells you things as they are. Amanda handled my Child Support case, Temporary Custody, Emergency Custody, Permanent Custody and she made it possible for me to move out of State with my son as to transfer Custody Jurisdiction to my new home State which is nearly impossible to do in NC. She is without a doubt the best attorney In the State and would recommended her without hesitation.

Amanda is an excellent attorney, handling both my divorce and child custody needs. She was recommended to me by a close friend who is a well respected professional in the judicial system who could have recommended anyone to me. I was recommended and sent to Amanda Mason. I was pleased in every aspect of working with her. My case was very complex, involving a business, children, and several unique issues. Every penny spent with her was worth it. She was fair in her billing and her use of time. In the end I was awarded custody of my children and very fair equitable distribution and child support. Without Amanda's hard work and counsel this would not have happened. If I ever need an attorney in ANY of the areas that Amanda practices law in, she will be the one I go to.
