About Amy Elizabeth
Amy Elizabeth Wilburn built an academic foundation that spans the arts and the law. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in French and Music from the University of Puget Sound in 1989 and returned there for a Master of Arts, awarded in 1994. Years later she turned to the study of law, obtaining her J.D. from Seattle University School of Law in 2011. The sequence reflects a nontraditional path into the legal profession that brings broader cultural and analytical interests into her work.
Her early legal experience included a position as a bankruptcy paralegal at the Law Office of George Peter Rose in 2009. That role put her on the front lines of insolvency practice at a formative time. She handled documentation and case preparation, learned the mechanics of bankruptcy filings, and observed the practical interplay among debtors, creditors and the court system. The paralegal work came before she completed law school, giving her a practitioner's perspective as she pursued her degree.
After earning her J.D., Wilburn moved into practicing law. She is licensed to practice in both Washington and Ohio. Those admissions allow her to work on matters that cross state lines and to advise clients whose needs span different jurisdictions. The combination of midwestern and Pacific Northwest admissions reflects personal or professional ties that extend beyond a single locale.
Wilburn's background in bankruptcy work informs much of her professional approach. Having seen cases from the support-staff side and then from the attorney side, she understands the document-driven nature of insolvency cases and the importance of clear procedural steps. She also brings the communication skills and discipline from her studies in French and music to client interactions and case strategy.
She operates from the Law Office of Amy Wilburn LLC. The firm reflects a small-office model where a lawyer handles casework directly rather than through a large, layered practice. Clients who prefer direct access to counsel will find a straightforward attorney-client relationship in that setting.
Across her career arc she has combined earlier paralegal experience, formal legal training and a cross-disciplinary academic background. She works in Washington and Ohio and represents clients on legal matters in those states. She handles legal matters for clients in Washington and Ohio.
