Hello! I am Amanda Wright, an Associate with Law Mom®. I am currently licensed to practice law in New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.
As a multi-vocational professional, I served professionally in the areas of higher education law and compliance, guardianship, adoption/foster care, disability and accessibility law, medical malpractice, and Chapter 9 Bankruptcy. After my father was diagnosed with lymphoma and my grandmother passed away after living for ten years with dementia, I witnessed how stressful the estate planning, Medicaid planning, and the probate process can be for families. I discovered that the old way of planning for death and incapacity, especially planning for long-term care, was failing families.
I wanted better results for families like mine and decided to shift my legal focus entirely to serving people and families to help them protect their assets, and the people that they love. I am thrilled to be part of the Law Mom® team because they use the best and most updated systems to help people and families prepare for transitions, emergencies, mature-care planning, and potential incapacity.
I pride myself in being a lifelong learner so that I can serve our community to the best of my ability. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Michigan State University College of Law and earned my Master’s of Social Work from Boston College. I am a member of the Elder Counsel, and New York State Bar Association Elder Law & Special Needs Section and Trust & Estate Law Section.
I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can support your goals!

After graduating from Nichols College, Mel was eager to work within a company that genuinely cares about its clients and employees. Mel studied General Business with a focus on finance, accounting, and management, which taught her that many people don’t understand how their money could work for them. She felt that the same applied to Estate Planning and was excited to be a part of a team that values education and understanding on this overwhelming topic.
When Mel is not at the office, she is most likely at the rink, either coaching ice hockey to youth age groups or getting back on the ice herself.
