Amanda Lum

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career where I could help change someone’s life for the better. I started interning at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office when I was 13 years old and fell in love with the profession. This unique opportunity allowed me to gain experience working in all aspects of criminal law; from being in the jails working with investigators, to doing paralegal work and assisting attorneys. What I enjoy the most is interacting with clients and being help to help them directly. In my position my job is to find out what that client needs help with, explain the entire process and what to expect, come up with some potential legal defenses we can use for their case, and alleviate their concerns and show them how we can help. ‍

I am passionate about the law and believe in helping others, fighting against injustice, and making a difference in people’s lives. I am a compassionate, effective, and zealous attorney who will work tirelessly for my clients.
