Amanda B. Cannavo
We all face challenges in life and sometimes need to make tough decisions that have a lasting impact on our families. In these critical moments, it’s essential to have a strong advocate on your side who is experienced and tenacious in navigating the legal landscape.
Whether it’s providing guidance and counsel through separation and divorce, pursuing spousal support, child custody, child support, and property distribution, I am committed to delivering results both inside and outside the courtroom. My responsibility is to educate you about the laws and strategically guide your decisions during these significant moments.
Together, we will set clear expectations, establish goals, and forge a path to achieve them. With my unwavering dedication, extensive legal knowledge, and dependable advocacy, I am confident that I can support you through this challenging process.
