Skilled and dedicated attorney for complex business disputes

I hired Amanda Russo Schenck to handle a complex commercial dispute involving a breach of contract with a former business partner. From our first meeting, her deep knowledge of Louisiana commercial litigation was evident. She leveraged her nearly two decades of experience to craft a strategy that was both aggressive and pragmatic, ultimately securing a favorable settlement that protected my company's interests. Her recognition by Best Lawyers in America is well-deserved, reflecting her skill in navigating intricate legal matters. While I was thoroughly impressed with her legal acumen and the results she achieved, there were occasional periods where communication lagged a day or two during particularly busy stretches. That said, when we did connect, her attention to detail and clear explanations were invaluable. I would confidently recommend Amanda to any business owner in New Orleans facing significant legal challenges.
