Amy E. Childress

I became a lawyer because I believe people deserve someone in their corner when they are facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Whether someone has been seriously injured, harmed by negligence, or had their civil rights violated, I want my clients to know that they have an advocate who will listen to them, take their case seriously, and fight for them every step of the way.

A little about my background:

I am licensed to practice in both New Mexico and California.

I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of New Mexico School of Law in 2020, where I completed a certification in Natural Resources & Environmental Law. During law school, I served as Lead Citation Editor for the Natural Resources Journal and competed on the UNM Mock Trial Team in 2019 and 2020 where I received the Lewis R. Sutin Trial Advocacy Award.

My approach to practicing law is simple: I prepare every case as if I am going to trial. I do not believe clients should have to choose between an attorney who genuinely cares about them and an attorney who knows how to try a case. They deserve both.

Outside of the courtroom, I enjoy spending time with the things that make life feel a little more balanced, like spending time with my dogs and baking.

I love being a lawyer because I get to help people when they need it most. I believe in holding companies and wrongdoers accountable, and I find it incredibly rewarding to see how the work we do can change a client’s life for the better.

I’ve spent over 10 years representing people in serious personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, and insurance cases. I’ve helped clients obtain significant recoveries, but the most rewarding part of this work is seeing what those results can actually do—give someone financial security, help a family rebuild, or simply allow a client to feel heard and regain some control over what comes next.

I take my clients’ cases personally. I want them to understand what is happening, know that they can reach me, and trust that I am thinking carefully about what matters most to them. My job is not just to handle the legal case. It is to guide people through a difficult period of their lives and put them in the strongest possible position on the other side.

Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wife and our animals. I’m also a devoted Formula 1 fan, an amateur photographer, and a pretty good bread baker.
