Amanda C. Price

MY DREAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO FIGHT, ADVOCATE, AND CARE FOR OTHERS.

I chose to study Social Work for this reason and knew that my heart for others would equip me to work with people in hopes that I could make a positive difference in their lives. During my last year of college, I worked at a residential treatment facility for youth involved in foster care and/or probation. While working with these kids I saw how much their backgrounds, families, and circumstances affected the opportunities and choices provided to them. It was frustrating how these kids were often written off without anyone looking deeper into their backgrounds. After this experience, I knew that I needed to go into criminal defense and make sure that no one was written off just because of one moment in their lives. Social Work gave me the knowledge and understanding that people are products of their environment, but becoming a lawyer would provide me with the ability and position to personally advocate for people who were often written off by the criminal justice system.

I started my legal career at a law firm that focused mainly on family law but also practiced criminal defense. This was a great opportunity for a young lawyer, but when the Criminal Defense Team had an opening for an Associate Attorney position, I knew I needed to apply. I had known about the Criminal Defense Team and what they stood for and how they advocated for their clients.

As a criminal defense attorney, I have the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life. I get to show my clients that they have value and their stories matter. And ultimately, I have the honor of speaking on their behalf and advocating for them in court.

Fighting, advocating, and caring for my clients means not backing down or taking the easy route. No matter the charge or allegation, each person deserves someone who is willing to fight, advocate, and care for them.  Each day I get to work with a Team that considers and investigates all the aspects of a case and is willing to fight and dig in to make sure all facts are presented to the court. While I am excited that I have achieved my dream to fight, advocate, and care for others, I am even more thrilled that I get to do it with the Team.

“It was like the weight of the world was on my chest, until I met Amanda Price. I can truly say having someone that I can trust 100% was one of the biggest blessings and greatest feelings I have ever experienced. Not only was she attentive, professional, confident and extremely smart. She was brilliant and truly cared. She knew my entire situation inside and out. I was able to walk into the court room with nothing but confidence knowing she was right there by my side through it all. She is extremely respected and valued as one of the top attorneys and an absolute amazing person I have had the utmost privilege to meet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Amanda for helping me get my life back!” – Nick W.
