Amanda Stone handled my divorce. She was right up front with what my ex was eligible for, answered all my questions, and helped us settle without going to court. I loved the fact that most of it was done via email or phone, and I had to use very little time off and go into their office.

Amanda Stone Swart was my attorney for my divorce. She handled the separation agreement, custody agreement, child support and finalized the divorce. Amanda and the law firm were very professional, always responsive and very knowledgeable in this area. I'm so glad that I chose Livesay & Myers for this matter.

I have worked on and off with Amanda Stone Swart for the past 5 years during my divorce and child custody/support issues and have been extremely satisfied with my experience. Amanda is very responsive to my questions and requests which I feel is most important during a divorce as there are so many questions. She always takes the time to understand my concerns and document the events that take place and I send to her. I also had the pleasure of working with her paralegal Danielle Humiston. Always professional and always punctual with my requests. My overall experience with Livesay & Myers exceeded my expectations. Amanda had a firm grasp of the facts and my case was strong. We ended up settling the day before the case, which was great. I am very happy with the result. And in the end, my legal fees were about 35% less than my ex's. I've never felt like I was being excessively billed and I will enlist her services when my next child emancipates.

Amanda Stone-Swart and her paralegal support team including Ms. Humiston were great to work with during my divorce. From the first consultation call I felt that Amanda understood me, my case and the initial obstacles we could face. She always explained any step she advised me to take both the pros and cons and left the final decisions to me. That was important to me because no attorney can fully understand the uniqueness of someone’s marriage and how to navigate a divorce. Amanda’s experience with clients and the courtroom was pivotal in getting the results that I wanted for me and my daughters. She worked with the defendants attorney and worked out an agreement without having to go to trial. Due to the sensitive nature of why we divorced I couldn’t have been any happier with the final agreement. And almost 100% of the paperwork, calls and decisions were made remotely as I lived in another state. Any divorce journey is difficult to walk but Amanda and the whole team at Livesay & Myers allowed it to be as good as it could be.

We have been looking for an adoption lawyer online, and we came across Livesay & Myers. Based on the previous visit to a different law practice, we’ve learned to be more cautious. We’ve read the profiles of different lawyers, and we were confident that we found what we were looking for when we saw Amanda Stoneswart. We made an appointment to see her, and she was very personable and easy to deal with. She explained the process, cost, and the timetable very well, and we signed up right then and there. All questions we’ve had have been answered promptly and they were very easy to get a hold of. We were very well represented throughout the whole process. I would recommend the practice and Amanda. Thank you!

Very disappointed. Poor communication. Bad advice. Expensive mistake.

Two years ago, I went to Livesay and Myers and met Amanda Stone-Swart. Without getting into all the details, Amanda assisted me with some very complex custody, visitation, and divorce matter. I would argue that you retain an attorney because you simply need help with a legal matter and family law is one of the most challenging issues to litigate. In my many years of experience with the legal system, I have never met a more competent, compassionate, procedurally correct lawyer. The issues that I needed litigated would have been put at risk if it wasn’t for Amanda’s experience and knowledge as an attorney. Amanda, Ms. Humiston, and their firm assisted me with the custody of my children, my divorce, and navigated some complex laws that were relevant to litigating my case. The result, sole legal and physical custody of my children. I don’t state this to brag, I state this because when the matter at stake involves children and significant property, retaining an attorney that follows procedural law is critical. Amanda understood the discretion of many matters and she proved to be an instrumental asset in my case. If you’re looking for representation to litigate family law matters, I highly recommend Amanda Stone-Swart, you will not be disappointed. Amanda’s effort, competence and knowledge as an family law attorney, her sensitivity and discretion, her ability to explain and communicate the truth and reality of the law to her client was essential to my sanity through this process. Additionally, my case required additional resources to navigate some complex issues regarding the opposing party and Livesay and Myers was equipped to support these needs. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of my case as she always put my children first in this matter. Amanda Stone-Swart is a capable, skilled expert in family law.

Amanda Stone Swart and her team were wonderful in handling my custody case. I had battled a very long time to have more time with my children, having retained other attorney's in the past along with even trying to represent myself. Dealing with a complicated situation and my increasing concern with my children's safety, I reached out to Livesay & Myers. The initial meeting was comforting and provided me an understanding of what I would be able to do in helping my children. Amanda addressed my concerns with compassion and an extremely high level of knowledge. Amanda truly cares for her clients and provides the education and gives of her time to help her client learn and then help themselves. I have felt truly represented in the outcome of my children's best interests. Amanda is not only reliable, knowledgeable and sincere she is responsive and conscious of my budget. Amanda was instrumental and supportive in winning sole physical custody of my children. I highly recommend Amanda, her expertise in family law is undeniable.

Ms Amanda Stone Swart, Esq of Livesay & Myers recently represented me in a complicated divorce action in Loudoun County involving abandonment. This was made more complex with my husband's relocation outside of the US. Ms. Swart designed a strategy to accomplish a property settlement and divorce in a timely and cost effective manner. She and her paralegal Donna Fernandez kept in contact so I was never left wondering the status of my case or what the next action would be to achieve an equitable resolution. Amanda Stone Swart and her legal team were a bright light in an otherwise uncomfortable situation that had to be dealt with. I can't thank them enough for their knowledge, professionalism, understanding and support. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone needed a family law attorney in Loudoun County, VA

Anne Prentice and the legal team at the Leesburg office did an excellent job ensuring that my separation contract, and ultimate divorce was fair and equitable. I highly recommend their services.

Amanda Stone Swart was amazing to work with. She helped me navigate through the entire divorce process - offering her expertise and professional opinions along the way, while advocating for me and what was best for my situation. I highly recommend her services!! She was thorough, thoughtful and efficient. Something that was such an overwhelming process to me, she made easier. I'm hopeful I don't need to use a lawyer again...but if I do - she'll be the one I call!

I recently finalized my divorce and hired Livesay & Myers to assist me through the process.
