About Amanda J.
Amanda J. Gentry built her legal foundation at Middle Tennessee State University, where she earned a B.A. in Philosophy in 2006. She continued her studies at Nashville School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2013. Those years of study shaped the practical side of her work and gave her the credentials to practice in Tennessee courts.
Soon after completing law school, she opened the Law Offices of Amanda J. Gentry in 2013. She has run that solo practice since then, handling matters that take her into courtrooms across the state. Running a small firm has meant managing a wide range of tasks: advising clients, preparing cases, and appearing at hearings. It has also required adapting to the practical realities of trial work and client service.
Gentry maintains an active presence in the Tennessee legal community. She is a member of the Nashville Bar Association, the Tennessee Bar Association, the Rutherford County Bar Association, and the Sumner County Bar Association. She belongs to groups aimed at trial and criminal defense lawyers, including the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, the Tennessee Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. She also holds membership in the Lawyers Association of Women. Those affiliations keep her connected to colleagues and current practice developments.
Her courtroom experience has been formed by steady work in state-level matters. She represents clients in criminal defense and in civil cases that proceed to trial. She handles investigation, motions practice, plea negotiations, and jury trials when cases move forward. Colleagues describe her approach as direct and client-centered. She tends to emphasize preparation and clear communication, and she expects the same standards from opposing counsel.
Outside the courtroom, Gentry remains rooted in Tennessee. She continues professional education and participates in bar activities across several counties. Clients who seek her out often cite her local knowledge and familiarity with county court procedures. The Law Offices of Amanda J. Gentry remains her base of operations, and she continues to represent individuals in criminal defense and civil trial matters in Tennessee courts.
Her current practice centers on criminal defense and civil trial representation in Tennessee courts.
