Amanda began her career working as a criminal defense attorney. She then advocated for persons with HIV and AIDS at Vivent Health, a non-profit organization, where she practiced in a variety of areas including employment discrimination, social security, disability benefits, bankruptcy, and estate planning. Amazingly enough, she discovered she loved debtor-side bankruptcy law and continued working in that area until moving back home to Colorado, where she then opted to use her experience to assist community associations. Amanda’s knowledge and skills range from the courtroom to the boardroom and her well-rounded legal background allows her to address the needs of our clients. She is licensed in Colorado and Wisconsin as well as the District of Colorado and the Eastern and Western Districts of Wisconsin. When she isn't working, you will most likely find her reading a good book by a warm fire or spending time with her family.
