About Amanda
Biography
After graduating from Stetson College of Law, I began working as an assistant public defender. I successfully litigated thousands of cases as a public servant. The experience I gained from working for the Public Defender's Office in the Sixth Circuit contributed to my desire to continue representing individuals accused of crimes in the private sector. My former law partner and I opened our firm in Pinellas County with the goal of offering our clients individualized service through open and honest communication and aggressive representation. As of January 2023, I own my own firm as a solo practitioner. This transition has allowed me to be more selective with my cases while expanding my practice into the federal realm.

Best in class
I am very satisfied with the service I received. My case was not that big, but it meant a lot to me. MS Amanda Sellers accepted the case, advised me to leave it to her completely, so I do not have to worry about notices and appearances. She carefully listened to me, drafted the negotiation strategy, ...
