A Lawyer who is Long Island Tough.
Born and raised on Long Island, Amanda is proud to have her law office in Massapequa. She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree, magna cum laude, from Hofstra University, where she was an Honors College Associate and received departmental honors in Sociology for her thesis comparing certain sociological theories to contemporary approaches in adoption law. Amanda went on to receive her Juris Doctorate degree, cum laude, from Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, where she graduated 16th overall in her class and was an active member of both the Touro Law Review and Touro Honors Program.
At the start of her career, Amanda proudly served as a judicial intern for the Honorable Arthur D. Spatt, Senior United States District Court Judge for the Eastern District of New York. After years of working for law firms both large and small, Amanda came to understand exactly what clients need and deserve: a lawyer who is a dedicated advocate, who provides clear and straightforward advice, and who makes it a point to keep the client informed. In her own private practice, those needs are paramount.
Amanda strives to make clients feel at home when they are a part of her practice. Comfort is everything. She goes to great lengths to make sure clients understand exactly what is going on in their case or matter. She is a fierce advocate who fights vigorously for her clients.
Amanda is admitted to practice in the Courts of the State of New York, as well as the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York.
