Smith, Matthew B.

After graduating from SUNY-Binghamton, Amy attended John Marshall Law School in Chicago, receiving her Juris Doctorate in 1996. She interned during the summer months with a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. While in law school, she also served as an Associate Justice of the Moot Court and a Staff Editor of the Law Journal.

After receiving the award for Best Oralist in the Interscholastic Moot Court Competition, Amy coached eleven teams for national competition, including the National Health Law team, which placed as finalists.

As an attorney her courtroom skills have resulted in many favorable outcomes and settlements.

Because of her medical knowledge, which includes pre-med undergraduate studies, assisting teaching Medical Terminology, and working as a Pharmacist’s Assistant, Amy is able to comprehend even the most complex medical records easily.

Her aggressive and focused attitude has earned her the assignment of most failure to diagnose cancer cases where discovery has to be expedited. Under Amy’s supervision, these cases now move through discovery and on to the trial calendar in a matter of months.

In her spare time she has participated in several fundraisers for cancer patients, including the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Event, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and the Revlon Run/Walk.

Additionally, Amy is a member of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, New York State Bar Association, and Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association.
