About Amanda
Amanda Garske earned her J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2018. She completed a curriculum that combined doctrinal coursework with clinic opportunities, emerging prepared for the practical demands of practice. Her time at Loyola placed her in the midst of Chicago's courts and agencies, a setting that shaped her early steps as an attorney.
After law school, Garske moved into private practice. She joined Kristopher K. Greenwood & Associates, where she has worked on a range of matters on behalf of the firm's clients. Her responsibilities have included legal research, drafting pleadings and motions, and appearing in hearings. Colleagues describe her as methodical in case preparation and steady under pressure.
Garske's work at the firm has involved both client-facing tasks and behind-the-scenes case management. She spends time advising clients, reviewing files, and coordinating with experts when cases require additional support. She also negotiates on behalf of clients and prepares files for trial when disputes cannot be resolved before litigation. Her day-to-day combines courtroom advocacy and office-based legal work.
Her educational background informs her practice. Courses and clinic work at Loyola exposed her to procedural rules and advocacy techniques that she applies in client matters. She also continues to engage with professional development opportunities to remain current on changes in law and procedure.
Outside of individual matters, Garske participates in the firm's internal processes for case intake and strategy planning. She contributes to team discussions about risk assessment and client communication, and she helps maintain the documentation that keeps cases moving. In conversations with clients she aims to explain options clearly and to outline possible outcomes in understandable terms.
She currently practices at Kristopher K. Greenwood & Associates, providing representation and legal counsel to the firm's clients.
