As a woman with a disability, Amy understands that individuals with disabilities can live the lives they want, but this often requires thoughtful preparation and strategic planning. She focuses her practice on working with individuals with disabilities and their families by drafting special needs trusts. She views a special needs trust as a tool which provides both freedom and security for individuals with disabilities.

She has litigated in state and federal court and uses her litigation experience to represent student with disabilities and their families in IEP meetings, due process hearings, and court proceedings.
