Amara is a tenacious problem solver who values developing personal and professional relationships with her clients. She handles personal injury, workers’ compensation, and criminal defense matters.

As the first college graduate in her family, Amara graduated from Quinnipiac University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting prior to obtaining her Juris Doctor degree from Western New England University School of Law.

Amara applies that experience to effectively resolving disputes, by truly understanding the best interests of her clients and working towards a successful resolution.
