Amanda is a dedicated legal advocate representing clients in complex asbestos and toxic tort litigation.
She helps clients mitigate risk while achieving favorable outcomes, primarily representing product manufacturers in asbestos-related cases, with deep experience in the automotive friction industry.
Amanda’s early interest in criminal law led her to major in criminal justice, while her aptitude for analytical thinking prompted her to add a second major in accounting. After graduation, she worked for a Big Four accounting firm, where auditing appealed to her love of investigation, evidence review, and logical reasoning. She returned to law school, gaining experience in district attorney offices and legal aid, before transitioning to toxic tort litigation and eventually joining Husch Blackwell in 2025.
Combining her strengths in analysis, evidence evaluation, and investigative work, Amanda naturally gravitated toward asbestos litigation, where the scientific and detail-oriented nature of the cases allows her to leverage her full skill set. Her accounting background sharpens her attention to detail and supporting evidence, while her criminal law experience equips her to thoroughly examine case files, identify pertinent facts, and formulate a comprehensive defense strategy for clients.
When taking on new matters, Amanda prioritizes clients’ unique needs and expectations, offering the big-picture perspective and foresight they value. She approaches every case with a fresh mindset, exploring new angles, case law, and strategies, never relying on past approaches.
