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!
