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.

Open and honest

This was absurd considering my crimes and Amy agreed and fought to show the court who I was. Amy was always avai...

Very professional
Hired Mrs. Menzel to help with a sentence modification. She was able to get the modification done in one hearing with a Judge that I didn’t feel would go in my favor.
