Bio
Jim Mallams
I worked with Amanda when she was at Faegre Benson in relation to a Landlord/Tenant dispute. I found her to be very competent and assertive. She also established a clear grasp of the matters very early on and was able to focus on the key issues. Her desire to reach a resolution without unnecessary expense on legal costs was commendable and ended in a good result for all involved. I would have no reluctance in recommending Amanda in any property litigation/dispute resolution role.
