I want to be a part of changing lives for the better and my life has lead me in that direction.. Graduated from University of Nebraska-Omaha with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology in 2003. During this time, I worked as Team Leader for a Residential Treatment Center treating minors with co-occurring disorders and it was there that I observed best interest attorneys, who focused deeply on an individual basis of how to support their clients with empathy, compassion, and a focus on how they would thrive long-term.. It was then that I knew this is who I wanted to be, in my work everyday.. I went on to receive my Juris Doctorate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, College of Law, May of 2007. During my time at law school, I focused on Criminal and Family Law. After graduation, I moved to Arizona to work at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office as a Law Intern. Passing the Arizona State Bar exam that was conducted the Summer of 2007 was a great accomplishment. Shortly thereafter, I became a Deputy County Attorney in January of 2008 for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. As Criminal Prosecutor for the majority of my career, I have fine tuned advocacy. As a trial Attorney, I have prosecuted both jury and bench trials. Additionally, I have presented cases before the Grand Jury. As a prosecutor I primarily practiced in Juvenile Delinquency matters. The last decade specifically was spent working with Juveniles with Sexually Maladaptive Behaviors and sexual boundary concerns.. After twelve years as prosecutor, the time became right to transition into private practice. Why? I realized, however, that I was missing something. I was missing the ability to go back to what sparked my interest in doing this work everyday by being able to work with clients directly, having a direct impact, and being able to help them thrive long-term. Today, as founder and owner of my firm, I work with clients like you in a people-centric way, focused on how to help you in the space where you need it most. My focus is advocating for my clients in Domestic Relations topics and Juvenile Law with personalized compassion.

I enjoy advocating for children and those who don't yet have their own voice.  I often take on Pro Bono cases from the Volunteer Lawyers Project.  They have been some of my most interesting and gratifying cases.  When I'm not practicing law, I enjoy running, reading, kayaking and watching movies with my family.  My oldest daughter and I have taken some Krav Maga classes together and we now have some wicked ninja fighting skills.

I am a mother to all boys so  I spend a lot of time doing "boy stuff."  The boys and I are huge Cardinals, Suns, and Diamondbacks fans.  And, because I'm a Utah native, I must add... GO UTES!!!. I moved from Salt Lake City, Utah to Arizona in 2001.  I love the Arizona sun and enjoy outdoor activities: hiking, camping, and floating down the river.. I have worked in the legal field since 1997.  Since that time, I have worked as a secretary, court clerk, judicial assistant, paralegal, law clerk, and attorney.. I honestly enjoy helping people and problem solving.  I firmly believe in thoroughly covering a client’s options before moving forward; knowledge is power!  I care a lot about my clients and have long-term legal relationships with many of them.  I am settlement-oriented, but also fight zealously when necessary.

I am a very passionate advocate.  I bring a unique vantage point to my practice, combining a background in mediation, negotiation, family law, and finance.. I am familiar with the practice of law on Wall Street and Main Street. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.  I graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and received a Juris Doctor from Rutgers Law School-Newark. While a law student, I completed a conflict management concentration focusing on negotiation, mediation, alternative dispute resolution and arbitration.      I completed a Federal Judicial Externship with Honorable Ronald J. Hedges and was a Mediator for the Division of Consumer Affairs. I spent two years as an associate for a wall street bank, Goldman Sachs, managing International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements. I completed courses through Goldman Sachs University, including corporate negotiation.        After going through the divorce process myself, I knew that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.....help people start their lives over.  I left the corporate world and began my family law career working for a small firm in Hackensack, New Jersey where I litigated divorce cases before New Jersey Superior Court Justices in 11 counties.  In November of 2007, I opened the doors to the Law Office of Amanda Mays in Princeton, New Jersey.   The firm was dedicated to 100% family law, including cases involving divorce, annulments, custody, child support, spousal support, distribution of assets and debts, complicated distributions of businesses and financial products requiring forensic accountings and appraisals, domestic and international kidnappings, grandparents' visitation rights and enforcement issues.      In early 2011, I packed my bags and moved to Chandler, Arizona with my family.         I am licensed to practice law in Arizona and New Jersey.  I am a member of the Arizona State Bar Association, the Maricopa County Bar Association and the Family Law Section of the Maricopa County Bar Association. I completed a 40-hour Mediation Training course administered by the Arizona Office of the Attorney General, in partnership with the Arizona Supreme Court's AOC.
