I believe that Amanda Stone Swart and her team - specifically Jenny Peshoff did an excellent job helping me through a very difficult situation - my divorce. From my first meeting with Amanda - I thought I had found an attorney that would take care of me in providing me with the best guidance in getting a acceptable resolution for my divorce - and I was correct. Amanda and Jenny took care of my divorce professionally and made me feel like family - they always made time to help me understand what was happening - why it was happening - and what to expect in the future. I think aspects make Amanda and her team different. To be honest Amanda and Jenny helped provide guidance to my ex-wife's attorney. Often they were late with information or it was inadequate - they patiently informed him - again - what was needed and why. And when necessary provide strict guidance on what was needed and potential fallout if they did not provide the requested information. I have mentioned Jenny for a specific reason - Amanda is a very busy person which I believe is an indication of how good an attorney Amanda is - and Jenny was always available to help me with answering questions or relaying information to Amanda. Being able to always talk with Jenny while going through the divorce helped ease a lot of my concerns and anxiety. I was so impressed with Amanda and her team that I provided their names to a friend going through a divorce and he is using them as his divorce attorney. I can not say enough positive things about Amanda and Jenny - the best words I can use - I am glad they helped me. And they helped bring an acceptable resolution to my divorce. I have and will continue to recommend them as a team to use when going through a divorce.

My experience with Amanda Swart and para legal Jenny Peshoff was very good. This was my first exposure to the court system in Virginia and they were both very patient, knowledgeable and were able to explain everything to me in layman terms so that I fully understood what was to lay ahead. They were also very good to keep my best interests and the best interests of my children as their number one priority.

I contacted Livesay & Myers initially for consultation to get advise on how I should start the divorce process. Amanda was readily available and I got a good sense that she understood my situation. I hired her to help throughout the divorce process, give me guidance on what my legal rights were, and draft any necessary legal documents. My case took some twists and turns during the process and I was always able to get hold of Amanda. Her communications with opposing counsel were fast, accurate and to the point. Her communication with me as to what had taken place was excellent! And really, that is the most important thing. Divorce is a chess game and not knowing what the last move was will cause unneeded stress! I would (and have) recommend Amanda to anyone needing the services of a divorce lawyer. In addition, Amanda has surrounded herself with helpful and friendly work associates. I've dealt with many of them and always had prompt, friendly experiences.

I had a child custody case. I didn't know what to expect and was extremely uneasy about everything. Amanda and her Paralegal, Jenny were amazing!!!! From the beginning they were both very reassuring and made sure I understood each process fully. My case was handled professionally and efficiently.

From the moment I first called Livesay & Myers to research an attorney for a separation and divorce, it was clear Amanda and her team were both knowledgeable and accessible. Amanda was incredibly professional but very personable during my initial consultation, laying out what seemed like a complicated process in a very clear fashion that made it much less daunting. She and her paralegal team not only assisted through every step of the process of drawing up paperwork for the separation and divorce, but also went above and beyond in assisting with a separate legal complication that arose as part of a refinance. No matter her schedule, Amanda could always be reached through her paralegal team and far surpassed any expectations I could have had. Her office always kept in clear communication, both by phone and email, and she personally saw to the resolution of what could have turned into a much more complicated situation for me. She ensured my divorce went smoothly and incredibly quick, and her knowledge and caring—as well as that of her team—helped me through a very difficult life event. Although I have not had any other interactions with attorneys or firms, I am confident that Amanda and the Livesay & Myers paralegals set the standard and have the best intentions for their clients.

I engaged the services of Amanda Stone Swart, Esq., to assist me with handling an aggressive attempt by my former spouse to radically change what, until now, had been a perfectly workable custody arrangement for the children and both parents. Amanda was very approachable from the beginning, quickly understanding the issue and worked with me to formulate a plan of action. We were successful in coming to a workable compromise which all parties appear to be comfortable with (considering issues such as this are rarely ideal). I highly recommend Amanda and her colleagues and, although I hope never to require her services again, I will definitely turn to her should the need arise.

Divorce is very tumultuous and disruptive and having the right advocate is crucial to finding your way to a stable future. Amanda S. Swart was a knowledgeable and strong advocate for my children and me. Our situation was complicated and painful, and she stood with me and helped my children and me find a new normal for our family. I am confident that we are much better off now than we would have been otherwise--because Amanda was my attorney and solid advocate. She was realistic and smart in charting a path through the legal maze and even nightmare divorce can be and certainly was. I am very grateful for her professionalism and legal expertise and I highly recommend her. Amanda will do all she can to support you and secure the best possible outcome for you and your family.

Amanda was a world of help during the dissolution of my marriage. She was very compassionate and caring. I was able to rely on her to have accurate information and quick responses to my questions. She was highly knowledgeable of what I needed to think about in regards to my future financially and the future of my children. Her advice helped establish a custody arrangement that was agreeable to both parties. Amanda was so supportive of me during the most difficult time of my life. Her dependability made me comfortable with the decisions I was making. There is no question that she had my best intentions in mind. I highly recommend her services.
