About Amanda
Amanda Burgess is an attorney based in the Ohio-Kentucky border region. She studied at the University of Dayton, where she completed her undergraduate legal education before moving into practice. Her educational background grounded her in the fundamentals of legal research and advocacy and prepared her for work in a regional firm setting.
Burgess began her professional career after leaving law school and took a position as an associate at The Keating Firm LTD. In that role she has handled a range of matters assigned by the firm, working on case preparation, client consultations and courtroom filings. Her day-to-day responsibilities include drafting pleadings, conducting legal research and supporting trial preparation under the supervision of senior attorneys.
Although licensed in Kentucky, Burgess maintains professional ties across state lines. She is certified as a Guardian ad Litem by the Supreme Court of Ohio, a credential that makes her eligible for court appointments in Ohio when a neutral party is required to represent a minor or an adult with diminished capacity. That certification complements her membership in a number of local and state bar organizations, reflecting an active engagement with the legal community on both sides of the Ohio River.
Her professional affiliations include the Ohio State Bar Association, the Cincinnati Bar Association, the Northern Kentucky Bar Association and the Kentucky Bar Association. Those memberships give her access to continuing legal education, local court rules and networks of practitioners handling a variety of civil and criminal matters. She participates in bar activities and stays current on developments that affect practice in the region.
Colleagues describe Burgess as methodical in her approach to cases. She takes a straightforward style in client meetings and prefers clear, documentable advocacy in court filings. Her work at The Keating Firm LTD. places her in a collaborative firm environment where cases are handled with a team-based approach. She assists senior counsel on complex matters and manages smaller files independently when appropriate.
Outside of the office, Burgess’s certification as a Guardian ad Litem signals an interest in the procedural and welfare questions that arise when courts must appoint an independent voice for vulnerable parties. She balances that role with her responsibilities at The Keating Firm LTD. and maintains an active presence in local bar circles. She currently practices as an associate at The Keating Firm LTD., representing clients in matters handled by the firm while maintaining her Guardian ad Litem certification for Ohio court appointments.
