About Amy
Biography
As a Former Chief Deputy District Attorney for eighteen years, I understand that involvment in the criminal justice system, from first contact with police to appearing in court, is a fear and anxiety inducing experience.
My goal is to educate my clients about the process and help them navigate the system in a thoughtful, stategic, and fully informed manner.
I am tenacious, fearless, and compassionate. I look forward to helping good people in bad situations!

Expert Attorney
Amy is an expert attorney with extensive knowledge of the justice systems. She stated at our first meeting what she could do to help me and made that happen. Highly recommended and a wonderful person to work with.

Very good legal advice
Amy was very straight with us, providing solid legal advice. She was honest that at this point we did not need legal council and advised us how to move forward. If we end up requiring legal advice I would hire her in a second. Highly recommended.
