About Amy B.
Amy B. Chappell took a traditional route into the law. She earned a B.A. from New York University in 1988 and completed her J.D. at Duke University School of Law in 1991. Those formative years set the stage for a long career grounded in the Maryland legal community.
After law school Chappell established herself in Maryland. She has been a member of the Maryland State Bar Association since 1992, maintaining an active professional connection to the state’s legal institutions. That continuous membership reflects sustained involvement rather than a single spell of activity.
Her title at Silverman Thompson is Of Counsel. In that role she provides legal support to the firm’s attorneys and clients, contributing legal analysis, case preparation and strategic input. The Of Counsel designation often signifies a lawyer who brings particular experience or perspective to a firm without occupying a partner role. Chappell’s position fits that pattern: she works alongside colleagues on matters that arise in Maryland.
Colleagues describe her career in practical terms. She has built a practice that draws on decades of legal training and courtroom-adjacent experience since finishing law school in the early 1990s. Those years have included frequent interaction with the state’s courts, regulators and professional peers. She has stayed connected to the community through ongoing bar association membership and professional networks.
Her background at two well-regarded universities informs how she approaches problems. The combination of a broad undergraduate education from New York University and a legal education from Duke University School of Law shaped both her analytical method and her professional instincts. In practice she applies that training to the matters that come through her firm.
Outside the firm setting she has remained visible in Maryland legal circles primarily through the Maryland State Bar Association, where she has held membership since the early 1990s. That continuous affiliation signals an attorney who has chosen to remain engaged in the state’s professional life over many years.
She currently serves as Of Counsel at Silverman Thompson, handling legal matters for the firm’s clients in Maryland.
