Blue Williams is proud to announce that 15 attorneys have been recognized in Inside New Orleans magazine's 2026 Elite Lawyers feature, an annual readers' choice recognition celebrating outstanding legal professionals across the Greater New Orleans area.
Unlike many legal rankings that rely on peer review, Elite Lawyers is determined through a reader nomination and voting process, with Inside New Orleans readers recommending and voting for attorneys they consider among the best in their respective practice areas.

She advises private employers, public entities, municipalities, and state agencies on a broad range of workplace and employment matters, including compliance, litigation, workplace investigations, employment policies, wage and hour issues, discrimination claims, disability accommodations, and civil service matters.
Throughout the feature, Amanda discusses the importance of building trusted client relationships, providing practical legal guidance, and helping organizations navigate increasingly complex employment and governmental issues. Her client-centered approach reflects the values that define Blue Williams attorneys across every practice area.
