Amanda Valter

I represent individuals and families navigating some of the most stressful and uncertain moments in their lives. Whether you are going through a divorce, facing criminal charges, or trying to protect your child’s rights at school, the legal system can feel overwhelming. My role is to guide you through it with clarity, honesty, and steady advocacy.

Before starting my practice, I served as an Assistant Public Defender, where I handled dozens of criminal cases and tried multiple cases to verdict. That experience shaped how I approach every case: prepared, strategic, and ready to advocate when it matters most. I later worked as a family law attorney with Legal Services of North Florida, representing clients in divorces, custody disputes, injunction proceedings, and child support matters.

I now focus my practice on family law, criminal defense, injunctions, and education law, including Title IX and school discipline cases. I also have experience working with children and families through Guardian ad Litem and Attorney ad Litem roles, which informs how I approach cases involving children.

Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next. I prioritize clear communication and practical guidance so you understand your options and can make informed decisions about your case. I will be honest with you about what to expect, and I will advocate for you without escalating conflict unnecessarily.

The legal system does not always feel accessible or fair. My goal is to help you navigate it with confidence and to make sure your voice is heard.
