DO NOT hire Amanda Williams as a GAL. The bias and incompetence demonstrated while assigned to my sons child custody case was staggering. She displayed clear signs of bias when she took his exs word as gospel and was completely wrong about her. The ex has now dumped the children and moved out of state. Williams drug her feet in regards to the timely submission of required court documents causing my son to have restricted contact with the children. This problem also caused him to pay an additional six months of child support costing him thousands. She ignored details from his daughter’s counselor that were vital to the case. She also forced my son into supervised visits which he had to pay for that gained her a profit. There’s more but I’ll cut it short for now. In conclusion just like the old saying “ the man who defends himself in court, has a fool for a client” the same is true for anyone who hires Amanda Williamson. IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILDREN DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN! /———-/—————-/—————/————— Just got done reading the weak response from Williamson. In reply, I made it clear from the start that I wasn’t the client. Not appearing are any denials. I have a large folder of every document you and my son exchanged including the emails and texts that you absolutely ignored. Everything you did, or did not do is documented. You can brush it off by saying I wasn’t your client but that doesn’t change the incompetencies of you and your firm. I hope for the public’s sake you retire soon. Being part of the good old boy system does not relieve you of your obligations. Again-DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN! Apparently Williams is upset over someone telling the truth about their firm’s incompetence. I stand behind every statement made in the review and I challenge these clowns to a public discussion about their incompetence. I’ve said from the start that I wasn’t the client. You keep harping on that fact instead of focusing on the problem at hand which is your absolutely horrendous handling of my son’s case. Inappropriate? That’s the word that comes to mind when you call yourself an attorney.

Absolutely horrible to have to feel like you’re forcing someone to do their job and even more so to discover they are following every social media account of the other party, even their dog’s, but have you blocked and claim to have never been biased. I wish I had seen her reviews sooner. You know you’re at the bottom of the food chain when you have to have your own paralegal give you a good review to balance out your account!

Would highly recommend. He explained everything in great detail and in a way that's easy to understand. He walked and guided me through the whole bankruptcy process from start to finish. He not only made it look easy but also stressfree. Definitely shows he cares for his clients.

Got a lot of questions answered and they were professional and friendly.

We had a very pleasant experience, thoughtful and helpful

I came to Amanda's law firm with an extremely difficult case - I was really being treated unfairly by the court and the GAL. I wish I could say she was able to turn my case around, and win back my ability to see my kids in reasonable fashion. She did not. However, I don't know that it was possible. Kitsap County is not, in my experience, a place of fairness and justice. What she and her firm DID do was help defend me and prevent my case getting any worse. She did this while effectively controlling her costs, and I ended up getting most of my retainer back. I've hired 6 attorneys so far, and she's the only one who didn't burn through every cent they could.... This is a unique quality that demonstrates her focus on actually doing right by her clients. Now that I have moved my case to a jurisdiction where I might actually have a shot of being listened to, my main regret is I can't still be represented by her. It is impossible to find this kind of representation, someone who sees you as a person to be helped and not as prey to be fed upon.

I received some of the worst service that I have had in a while. I can only speak the profound incompetency of Samantha Phelan (file clerk/admin assistant) at this firm. Managing simple emails, schedules, and follow up is something she is not good at. This is why I have given this firm a low rating. Ms. Phelan did not track my file, never sent me documents to review in advance of signing, made up excuses as to why she wouldn’t return phone calls and emails…basically she wasted my time and her bosses. Zero accountability, zero effort in finding a solution, low emotional intelligence (would become flooded and manipulative in conversation). As the client you will have to deal with her a lot. I would look for another firm that has a better trained office staff.

I needed help putting together a will. Filled out their intake form and phone appt scheduled for a Wednesday. When appointment time arrived was "ghosted". Called and told "oh thought we contacted you, your appointment was changed to Friday". They hadn't contacted me and appt changed to Friday to which I agreed. Friday appt arrives, again "ghosted". Called several times leaving voicemails...no response. Sent emails...no response. The following week called again, voicemail. At this point sent email again asking for contact but also stated I must assume they do not want my business. Have never heard from them. Guess it's a good thing because if this is an example of how they work wouldn't want them to do any work nor represent me...avoid this firm! Update - Business replied showing they made 2 calls, however no calls were received nor does my phone log show any missed calls, perhaps because my phone # is a different area code and business did not use a “1” when they dialed? Regardless shouldn’t take a poor review to receive a response.

Very helpful. Had questions and they gave me clear answers. And was able to break it down so i could understand it.

I called to request a consultation late on a Friday, the attorney was not available at that time. He called me back first thing on the following Saturday. I was really surprised as I had not expected to hear back until Monday. Tim provided me with suggestions as to what I should do and also provided me with the needed steps to take to move through the dispute on my own. He said that hiring an attorney would be more than the amount I was dealing with in regards to the dispute. His explanation was great and made me realize that this wasn't something that I had to freak out about and that it could be dealt with regardless of the outcome. He also didn't make me feel bad about the situation, which I appreciated. If for some reason I need to file bankruptcy in the future (I hope not) or if I know someone who is in need of a bankruptcy attorney, Tim will be who I go to or suggest to others.

Very informative, always willing to lend a helping hand.
