About Amy

Attorney Amy Wallas joined the firm in 2007 following her graduation from law school, where she gained experience in adoption and surrogacy law as well as child advocacy.  She handles adoption and surrogacy cases, and estate planning work.

During law school Amy worked with an adoption attorney in Richmond, Virginia. That experience familiarized her with the private practice of adoption and surrogacy law. Amy also attended the 2005 and 2006 mid-year conferences of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys as the first law student ever to participate.  She also enrolled in the first week-long adoption law class held at Capital University Law School in 2006.  In a related area, Amy served as a child advocate attorney, spending a summer at the Support Center for Child Advocates in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she represented children in dependency proceedings.
 
Amy received her bachelor's degree in 2004 from Guilford College, with majors in philosophy and international studies and a minor in Japanese. As an undergraduate, she spent a semester near Osaka, Japan.  Afterward, Amy received a Graduate Research Fellowship from the College of William & Mary Marshall Wythe School of Law, where she graduated in May 2007.  During law school, she was a member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Team and was active in the Child Advocacy Law Society.
