Whether dealing with court orders or navigating the appeals process, Amy understands how critical accuracy is when it comes to protecting clients’ civil liberties. A small error can have significant consequences, and Amy strives to ensure that no detail is overlooked in her work.
Amy’s journey to Sieben Edmunds Miller was driven by her desire to engage more deeply with clients and focus on quality over quantity.

Outside of the office, Amy is passionate about community service and she regularly seeks out opportunities to give back.
