About Amanda Gaddis
Amanda Gaddis Speights is admitted to practice in Georgia and maintains an active role in the state’s criminal defense community. She is a current member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. She practices under the name Speights Law, P.C., and represents clients across the state.
Speights’s professional path centers on courtroom work and case preparation. She has guided clients through arraignments, pretrial proceedings and trials. Her practice involves handling the procedural and evidentiary issues that arise in criminal matters, and she is familiar with the practical demands of state court practice in Georgia.
Her membership in the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers connects her to fellow defense attorneys and resources specific to criminal law. Participation in that organization reflects an interest in the substantive and procedural developments that affect criminal cases. It also provides a forum for continuing legal education and discussion of evolving issues in criminal practice.
Colleagues describe Speights as steady under pressure and attentive to the details that matter in court filings and hearings. She prepares written motions, examines evidence and develops defense strategies. She balances the tactical aspects of litigation with the need to explain options to clients in plain terms.
Outside of the courtroom, Speights manages the day-to-day operations of her practice. Running a law firm requires attention to case management, client communication and the administrative work that supports litigation. In that role she oversees scheduling, filing deadlines and coordination with investigators or experts when cases call for additional fact-gathering.
The work she does is shaped by Georgia law and the rules of procedure that govern criminal cases in the state. She navigates local court calendars and responds to changes in statutes and precedent that affect criminal procedure and sentencing. That practical orientation informs how she advises clients about likely outcomes and next steps.
Speights continues to practice at Speights Law, P.C., representing individuals in criminal defense matters across Georgia.
