She did her training contract at this firm, her seats being in Wills and Probate, Family Law, Criminal Law and Immigration Law.

It was here that she also obtained her police station and Magistrates Court accreditation certificate to conduct duty work in the Midlands Area.
After gaining vast experience at Tanfields, Amanda moved to Talbots Law in Stourbridge. She since worked at other local firms practising Criminal Defence work being involved in large drugs conspiracies, murders, education, house and benefit fraud matters.
In 2010 Amanda obtained her Higher Rights of Audience and as a result is able to conduct Crown Court cases. This is particularly beneficial as she is qualified to run a case from first arrest to final outcome.
Amanda moved to Waldrons in 2017 and has worked on some of her biggest cases here in her career. She ran a very high costs case requiring skill, accuracy and a dedication to defending clients involved in multi handed cases with complex issues.
Amanda left Waldrons for a short time but returned in July 2023 to continue her career within the criminal department, much to her long standing client base’ approval!
