Amanda Singer

Amanda D. Singer, Esq., MDR, CDFA earned her bachelors in Sociology from Brandeis University. She moved out to California to attend Chapman University School of Law and earned her JD while also completing her Masters in Dispute Resolution (MDR) from The Straus Institute of Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University School of Law. She is also a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA).

Amanda has completed her basic and advanced mediation training as well as specific training in divorce and family mediation from Pepperdine. While at Chapman she mediated over 100 cases in the Riverside Superior Court, including debt collection, civil harassment restraining orders and small claims cases. Additionally, Amanda helped the Riverside Courts Alternative Dispute Resolution Office implement a Juvenile Mediation program at Juvenile Hall for the residents.

She worked at the San Diego North County Family Law Facilitators Office, helping self represented litigants with their family law issues. Amanda was a divorce mediator for The Divorce Help Clinic for over two years before branching out to continuing building San Diego Family Mediation Center.

Amanda works at helping families improve communications, solve problems and reach agreements and is devoted to assisting families in working through their conflict together and staying out of court. Her writings reflect this philosophy in wanting to put children and families first and keep them out of court which only ruins relationships and families.

She is also a member of the State Bar of California, the American Bar Association, San Diego County Bar Association, San Diego Family Law Bar Association, Lawyer’s Club of San Diego, ProVisors and Emerging Leaders at Jewish Family Services.

When she’s not working Amanda loves to hike, run and do yoga in our beautiful San Diego weather. She’s completed five marathons and looks forward to more in the future. Amanda also enjoys traveling to and exploring new cities around the world.
