Preserving civility. Achieving successful family reorganization.
The Law Office of Amanda J. Cook is a full service family law firm located in Gig Harbor, Washington. Because we limit our work to only one area of the law, we do it exceptionally well. In addition to knowing the mechanics of a divorce, child support, or custody case, we understand relationships. Relationships are emotional and emotions drive motives. There is no other area of law in which the process is so affected by the emotions. Many family law attorneys will attempt to treat a divorce as a sterile business transaction, refusing to acknowledge the emotional element. We think that's a mistake. Your attorney serves you best when he or she understands the motives of your opponent, and in family law, those motives are typically driven by people's emotions.
Our Approach
We recognize the value of preserving civility in the legal process, particularly when working with families. Our largest aim is to help you achieve a "successful family reorganization." What is a "successful family reorganization?" It's one in which you have all your questions answered and can make informed decisions. It's a family law case that never has to go to court again. It's one that shelters your children and they remain secure in the love of both parents. It's one where the focus is on resolution rather than punishing your enemy.

- Divorce & Legal Separations
- Contempt & Enforcement of Decrees

Meet Attorney Amanda J. Cook
While I wish my bio stated that I am a former professional athlete and have a nonprofit organization eradicating the world of hunger and cancer, I can't and won't ever be able to say that. I'm a normal person with children, a spouse, a career and struggles to balance those often competing interests. My bio likely will not impress my clients, but my clients likewise do not have to try impress me, because I live a real life and I "get" it.
