Before law school, Amie completed her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she developed a foundational understanding of social systems and the challenges individuals face within them—a perspective that continues to shape her approach to law today. In her role as a Law Clerk at The Law Office of Keith Altman, Amie honed her practical legal skills, specializing in handling complex issues within education law. Her responsibilities included conducting intake for consultations, performing comprehensive legal research with tools like LexisNexis+, and drafting pre-litigation demand letters, complaints, and motions. She was known for her meticulous attention to detail, often completing assignments with minimal supervision and requiring few, if any, revisions. Her commitment to quality and efficiency, paired with her effective communication skills, allowed her to work seamlessly with the legal team and coordinate directly with clients—a testament to her proactive and client-focused approach. Beyond her legal experience, Amie has a unique background working within the education system, which has strengthened her ability to advocate for students and individuals needing support. She previously served as a Teaching Assistant for Exceptional Children in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, where she supervised students with a range of learning and behavioral diagnoses, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her hands-on experience with students in need of specialized educational support has given her an empathetic approach to her legal work. She provided both individual and group support for academic and social-emotional learning, and assisted in organizing support according to Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Amie’s experience in education informs her understanding of the challenges students and families face, equipping her to navigate the legal landscape with a compassionate and knowledgeable perspective. Amie is also well-versed in the latest legal technology, including platforms such as Clio and LexisNexis+, as well as collaborative tools like Microsoft Teams and OneDrive, which enable her to manage cases efficiently and maintain a high standard of organization.
