Before becoming an attorney, Amy was a child welfare social worker for the better part of five years. After completing her LSAT, she was offered a scholarship to attend the University of Akron School of Law. Today, having spent almost 20 years in the creditors' rights industry, Amy continues to display a passion and commitment to quality work. For her, client service is the most important aspect of the job. She recognizes that her clients pay for a service, and if that service falls short, she can’t expect to earn their repeat business. Her goal is to offer better problem-solving, availability, and a true mutually-beneficial partnership.
Practicing primarily in collateral recovery and replevins, Amy helps her clients recover on defaulted loan agreements and leases. As the business unit leader for Litigation & Complex Collections, matters may include traditional collection strategies such as demand letters, or more complex cases such as recoveries where violence or obstruction is a factor. She also assists with title issues, securing vehicles that are subject to criminal forfeiture or seizure, counterclaim defense, compliance issues related to repossession, and the negotiation/settlement of disputes.
Amy is the mother of a beautiful little girl and the wife of a psychiatric social worker who teaches at a local university, so her life is very full! She finds relaxation in cooking, hiking, and spending time with her family and friends, but when she needs a rush of adrenaline, she jumps right into another favorite hobby: bootcamp class. Amy also volunteers on the board at Frontline Service, a non-profit community behavioral health organization that aims to end homelessness, prevent suicide, resolve behavioral crises, and overcome trauma.
