"When I used to bring my law books to my father’s hospital room to study, I saw that doctors and nurses treated me differently, and they treated him differently. I thought about all those other people who didn’t have an advocate. That is where I developed my passion for elder law."
Biography & Personal Commitment
Amanda Murray develops plans and advocates for people at times when they are the most vulnerable. With a true passion for elder law and a love of service, she helps families navigate difficult challenges and develops comprehensive estate plans to meet coming needs.
She relishes the opportunity to identify creative options to support clients' goals for their future and the future of their families. “We take the time to really get to know our clients,” she explains. “If we didn’t make the effort to develop that rapport, then I think we would miss an opportunity to make their life easier and help with different facets of their family situation.”
In addition to planning for loved ones with special needs or developing strategies for long-term care, VA benefits, and Medicaid planning, Amanda particularly enjoys bringing families together through adoption and assisted reproduction and serving as a guardian, conservator, or trustee to protect the rights of the vulnerable.
"I like making sure the right thing happens and helping to take some of the load off the family during a difficult time. If I can't help, I will listen, sort through the legal issue, and point them in the right direction."
A Michigan native, Amanda lives in Washtenaw County. When not advocating for clients and guiding families through estate administration, she cherishes spending quality time with her three children.
