Every lawyer has a unique path, but few have navigated as many sides of the legal system as Amy Harber. From aspiring victim advocate to newspaper employee, prosecutor, insurance defense attorney, and now managing attorney at Whitlock Law PLLC, Amy brings a rare 360-degree perspective to her practice.

What drives this self-described "truth bomber" is a commitment to serving people regardless of case size or complexity. While many firms screen clients based on potential payouts, Whitlock Law proudly handles both seven-figure verdicts and modest claims because "every case is important for its different reasons." This client-first approach extends to their free consultations and community involvement, including sponsorships of local organizations from Dulles Little League to the Loudoun Pride Festival.

Amy's experience sitting "on all four sides" of legal proceedings gives her unique insights that benefit clients. Whether spotting overlooked insurance coverage in personal injury cases or preparing criminal defendants for collateral consequences others might miss, her comprehensive background proves invaluable. This perspective allows her to set realistic expectations from the start—clearly outlining worst-case scenarios alongside achievable outcomes.

As a woman-owned firm, Whitlock Law recognizes the importance of diverse perspectives in legal practice. "Representation matters," Amy explains, noting that clients often prefer attorneys who understand their life experiences. She's particularly passionate about debunking the "ambulance chaser" stereotype, emphasizing that personal injury attorneys add genuine value by counterbalancing powerful insurance corporations whose "goal is not to look out for individuals."

Looking for legal representation that combines expertise with empathy? Connect with Whitlock Law's Leesburg office for personal injury, criminal defense, protective orders, expungements, and insurance disputes. As Amy's personal mantra reminds us: "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future"—a philosophy that guides her compassionate yet pragmatic approach to law.
