As a lawyer, particularly in estate planning, I get to solve problems for real people or help them avoid those problems altogether.

Amanda is an attorney in the Trusts and Estates group at Carrington Coleman, where she counsels individuals and families on matters of estate planning and estate and trust administration. 

Outside of Work
