Amanda Ghannam has devoted her entire legal career to employment discrimination and civil rights. That singular focus means her clients — whether individuals facing workplace injustice or attorneys seeking a trusted co-counsel — benefit from a depth of knowledge that general practitioners simply can't match.

Over the course of her career, Amanda has won a landmark preliminary injunction prohibiting police officers from injuring protesters, secured a six-figure jury verdict in a First Amendment case that was upheld by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and negotiated countless settlements for clients who were wrongfully terminated, discriminated against, harassed, or retaliated against at work.

Amanda earned her Juris Doctor with a specialization in Labor, Work, and Income from Northeastern University School of Law. She spent seven years at leading Michigan employment and civil rights firms, including two years as a managing partner, before founding AMG Legal PLLC. She serves as a Cooperating Attorney to the ACLU of Michigan and was appointed to the City of Dearborn's Board of Ethics in 2026. Amanda also joined the Women Lawyers’ Association of Michigan’s Board of Directors in 2026.

Her work has been recognized by peers and institutions across the legal community. She is a four-time Thomson Reuters SuperLawyers Rising Star (2023–2026), a recipient of the Detroit Bar Association's Outstanding Young Lawyer Award, and a winner of the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan's Honorable Kirsten Frank Kelly Award. She was named to the Arab America Foundation's 2024 "40 Under 40" list and is a graduate of the Michigan Association for Justice’s Leadership Academy.

Amanda is also a certified mediator who can assist in resolving complicated disputes. Sometimes the best time to resolve an issue is before anyone has to file a lawsuit. Amanda will take the time to hear both sides and guide parties towards mutual understanding.

Amanda takes the time to understand your situation fully, explain your options honestly, and pursue the outcome you deserve — with the skill and track record to back it up.
