Amanda C. Cook

Amanda C. Cook is an attorney who focuses her practice in the area of family law, including divorce, support, child custody, division of assets and debts, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Amanda is also an experienced collaborative law attorney, and mediator, helping families navigate the divorce process and come to mutually-satisfactory outcomes without the need for court intervention.

Ms. Cook has worked for Cook & Associates, a boutique law firm in the North Hills of Pittsburgh since 2005.

While Amanda strives to zealously represent her clients, she believes that an attorney must also consider the continued relationship of the parties. This is particularly true when the parties have children. To that end, she strives to keep the parties out of court, focusing rather on cooperative settlements, when possible.

Amanda has been recognized as a Nationally Ranked Top 10 Under 40 by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys, and has on multiple occasions been a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer and Rising Star. She has authored many articles relating to mediation and cooperative divorce and custody arrangements and has paneled legal education programs on the topic of family law. She is a member of the Pennsylvania State Bar Association, the Allegheny County Bar Association, the Mediation Council of Western Pennsylvania, and the Collaborative Law Association of Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Ms. Cook sits on the board of the Street Medicine Institute (SMI), an international non-profit which facilitates and enhances the direct provision of health care to the unsheltered homeless where they live. For more information on SMI, please visit streetmedicine.org.
