About Amanda Reese
Amanda Reese Nuriddin blends courtroom experience and mediation training into a practice that spans two states. She earned her law degree from Rutgers School of Law–Newark in 2002 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in English at Pennsylvania State University in 1999. Her academic path began in liberal arts and ended in law, a shift that shaped how she approaches problem solving for clients.
Her early post-law school career took her into the corporate world. In 2004 she worked on document management at Goldman Sachs. That role exposed her to large-scale legal operations and the practical demands of complex transactions. She moved into private practice soon after and joined the Law Offices of Jason T Brown in 2006, where she handled a range of matters that built her courtroom and client-facing skills.
A year later she opened a solo practice under the name Law Office of Amanda Mays. Running a solo shop taught her case management and client communication, and it also gave her direct responsibility for each stage of a file. In 2013 she became a partner at Mays & Zitron, PLLC. The move shifted her daily work from solo case handling to shared practice management and collaborative strategy.
She holds a mediation certification from the Office of Lawyer General. That credential complements her litigation background and shapes how she approaches dispute resolution. She is licensed to practice in New Jersey and Arizona, and she remains active in several professional and community organizations. She is a member of the Maricopa County Bar Association’s Family Law Section, serves as Relaunch Lead for Blended Families since 2018, and joined Lawyers for Good Government in Arizona in 2017. She also has been listed as an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau since 2015.
Her practice covers matters typical of a multi-jurisdictional family law firm. She handles contested issues and negotiated settlements, and she brings mediator training to cases where alternative dispute resolution is appropriate. Colleagues describe her as steady in the courtroom and pragmatic in settlement talks.
She maintains an active practice at Mays & Zitron, PLLC, where she divides time between litigation, mediation, and firm leadership. Her current practice focuses on family law matters across New Jersey and Arizona.
