Tell us about your law firm:

Amanda M. Roberts and I established Hanratty Roberts Law Group under the premise that all people involved in domestic matters deserve not only an attorney who zealously advocates on their behalf, but an attorney who is willing to provide each client the time, attention and understanding necessary to assist each client in coping with their matter.

We understand domestic matters are emotionally driven and as such, our goal is to always listen, understand, and comfort our clients through the difficult process. To achieve the client's goals, Hanratty Roberts has structured the firm so that clients will always have direct contact with a managing attorney.

This personal management includes drafting critical court documents, meeting one on one with the client, and supporting each client's individualized needs.
