Amanda Gonzalez – New Jersey Family Law Attorney

Before devoting her practice to matrimonial and family matters, she completed externships and internships in criminal defense, child welfare, and domestic violence advocacy, gaining early exposure to courtroom practice and the complexities of high-conflict matters. She then practiced in commercial and residential real estate law and land use litigation, further developing her skills in evidence analysis, motion practice, and litigation strategy. This breadth of experience allows Amanda to approach complex family law matters from multiple angles, ensuring that every aspect of a case receives thoughtful and careful attention.

Of special note, Amanda interned with the U.S. Army JAG Corps at Fort Drum, New York, where she gained experience with military legal investigations involving allegations of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. Today, she draws on that firsthand insight to safeguard her clients and their children in matters involving sensitive allegations. For servicemembers and military families, her JAG Corps experience also informs her approach to the unique issues military law and military service can present in divorce and custody matters.
Amanda graduated with her Juris Doctor from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where she was a Dean’s Merit Scholar and served as a Competition Editor for the Moot Court Honor Society. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from New York University.

Outside of her legal practice, Amanda spent more than a decade as a certified volunteer firefighter in New Jersey. The experience reinforced many of the same qualities she brings to her work as an attorney: remaining composed under pressure, responding decisively as circumstances change, and being ready to help when people are facing difficult situations.
Amanda is a mother of two. She enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, cooking and reading.
