Amanda Szmuc represents individuals and businesses in a wide range of litigation matters, with experience spanning commercial claims, general civil disputes, business torts, construction-related litigation, and intellectual property matters. Her clients include corporations of all sizes, entrepreneurs, contractors and subcontractors, and creative professionals. Whether resolving a payment dispute, defending against a civil claim, or litigating a high-stakes contract case, Amanda rejects one-size-fits-all tactics and resists formulaic approaches rooted in “it’s always been done that way,” committing instead to delivering solutions that are as individualized as the clients themselves.

Amanda thrives on the strategy and advocacy that define litigation. She views every case as a dynamic challenge requiring creativity, precision, and meticulous preparation. For clients, disputes are often high impact matters that affect financial stability, reputational standing, or ongoing business operations. Amanda treats each one with that urgency, ensuring clients remain informed and engaged at every stage of the process.

Her experiences include drafting the winning brief that successfully opposed a petition for writ of certiorari before the United States Supreme Court; leading a bid protest where she obtained emergency restraints and ultimately secured both preliminary and permanent injunctions; and serving as first chair in trial court matters, where she prevailed on evidentiary motions excluding thousands of documents from the opposing party’s case. Amanda has also represented corporations in mechanics’ lien hearings, protecting their rights and defeating counterclaims in full.

In addition to her courtroom practice, Amanda advises companies on risk management in areas that often intersect with commercial litigation, including collective bargaining agreements, freight charge liability, and intellectual property protection. This dual focus on litigation and preventative counsel allows her to resolve immediate disputes while helping businesses anticipate and avoid future challenges.

Amanda is also deeply committed to advocacy beyond the business arena. She actively works with victims of domestic violence, representing survivors in trial proceedings, securing protective orders and negotiating favorable civil agreements. By standing with survivors in court and ensuring they have the protections and resources to heal, Amanda sees her work as not only serving clients but also strengthening the communities she serves.
