At Coleman & Chambers, LLP, Amanda has devoted much of her time to the practice of law in the Juvenile Court of Hall County in Gainesville, Georgia.  As an attorney for the best interest of the child, Amanda handles deprivation cases arising from allegations of abuse or neglect of children.  As a lawyer, Amanda is actively involved in all aspects of the court process, from the initial removal of a child from a parent's home until either reunification of the child with the parent or termination of parental rights. 

Amanda assists our clients in evaluating what is in the best interest of the child and then works to achieve the desired outcome, whether it is placement of the child in the temporary custody of a relative or placement of a child in the custody of the parent pursuant to a protective order.

Amanda works closely with our firm's senior lawyer, Bob Coleman, with both private clients and the Hall County Department of Family and Children Services, in an effort to help children in the Juvenile Court of Hall County, Georgia.

Amanda can also assist a child that is alleged to have committed a violation of the law whether felony, misdemeanor or a traffic ticket/ suspension of license and is involved in a Juvenile Court Delinquency proceeding.
