Your Rights Matter.

The Lawyer You Work With Does, Too.

Facing discrimination, retaliation, or a violation of your civil rights is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. You deserve an attorney who takes your situation seriously, knows the law inside and out, and has the track record to back it up.

Attorney Amanda Ghannam has spent over a decade fighting for employees and individuals whose rights have been violated. With over $5 million obtained in verdicts, judgments, and settlements on behalf of clients, Amanda brings a proven record of results to every matter she handles.

What We Do

AMG Legal specializes in representation of employees who have been treated unlawfully in the workplace. Amanda also represents victims of police misconduct, survivors of sexual abuse, and individuals and organizations in First Amendment free speech cases.

AMG Legal primarily represents individuals, not corporations. We handle:

  • Race, gender, age, pregnancy, and disability discrimination

  • Sexual harassment at work

  • Retaliation and hostile work environment claims

  • Wrongful termination

  • First Amendment, free speech violations, and protest rights

  • Whistleblower claims

  • Police misconduct and government civil rights violations

Why AMG Legal

If you believe your rights have been violated, we want to hear from you.
