Amy Sarah Whitelaw

Amy Whitelaw practices personal injury law with a clear purpose: to fight for people who were hurt and need someone fully in their corner. After earning her interdisciplinary CLEG degree from the American School of Public Affairs in 2012, she went on to receive her law degree from the University of Richmond School of Law in 2015. Amy has represented individuals throughout her career and takes pride in bringing a justice-focused, client-first approach to every case. She’s especially known for her discipline and preparation, guided by the belief that readiness is the one advantage you can always control. That approach showed in a wrongful death case involving a man in a motorized wheelchair who was hit and killed by a distracted driver in the dark. Even though the insurer and other firms believed the family couldn’t recover due to alleged partial fault, Amy dug in—investigated thoroughly, built the facts, and pushed an aggressive demand that resulted in a full policy-limits settlement to help provide for the children. Amy grew up in Buffalo in a close family with two sisters and parents who modeled hard work and service in different ways. Today she’s a devoted mother to her young son and spends her free time reading, playing outside with him, and following Buffalo sports. Amy is active in the Virginia Trial Lawyers Association, the American Association for Justice, and the Lewis F. Powell, Jr. American Inn of Court. Licensed in Virginia and Georgia.
