Working with Amanda
Amanda utilizes her love of reading and writing to create a formidable foundation for those she represents. Understanding that each client comes with a unique set of circumstances, she’s drawn to the challenge that each case brings.
“I think it’s important to remember that our clients are oftentimes going through the worst period of their lives,” she said. “Even though I may have never experienced what my clients are going through, I try to approach each of them with empathy, respect, and patience. They are human beings, and I strive to make sure they feel that way throughout our time together.”
More than anything, Amanda is driven to amplify the voices of the unheard and secure justice for the proverbial underdog.
“I’ve spent much of my life looking out for the underdog and wanting to stand up for those whose voices often go unheard,” she said. “That hasn’t changed. Every day, I try to bring about the change we so desperately need by fighting for those who need me the most.
History of Success
While in law school, Amanda was named a Dean’s Scholar and received the Academic Excellence Award for Family Law. She was a member of the Student Editorial Board and served as Student Editor for the ABA Journal of Labor and Employment Law.
