About Amy
Biography
I went to Law School so I could have a career focused on helping people. I treat each case as though I were representing a close friend or family member.
After Law School, I worked as a prosecutor for 5 years and gained invaluable courtroom experience. I particpated in approximately 30 jury trials and hundreds of other contested hearings. I have worked hard to earn the respect of judges and other attorneys.
I am confident that my knowledge and legal experience will lead to a good outcome for my clients.
