Amy also has extensive experience with creditors’ rights issues, including commercial foreclosures, navigating bankruptcies, and advising clients on various collection methods and procedures.

In addition, Amy devotes a portion of her practice to employment law, not only litigating employment disputes, including EEOC administrative claims, but also advising employers on avoiding such claims before a termination or dispute occurs. Amy also litigates, drafts and advises clients on non-competition agreements.

Amy embraces the firm’s philosophy of seeking to resolve disputes in the most efficient manner possible, with an emphasis on achieving the desired results with the least amount of expense and upset to the clients’ business. Amy seeks to understand her clients’ businesses and advise each client of all available options, including dispute resolution opportunities, always keeping her clients’ best interest at the forefront of every case.

Amy works closely with the firm’s estate planning attorneys in complex probate, trust and guardianship disputes, representing the beneficiaries or the fiduciaries, and advising fiduciaries who face potential disputes. A key factor in Amy’s approach to litigating will and trust contests is her recognition that understanding and managing family dynamics is important to achieving a resolution.

Amy is also a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Court mediator.

This litigation experience and knowledge of the law provides Amy with the tools necessary to successfully mediate litigation matters involving commercial, probate and trust disputes. Amy understands that the alternative dispute resolution process is often the best way, both emotionally and financially, to resolve a case for parties involved in litigation.
