It is with extreme sadness that we announce that our partner, friend, and colleague, Amy McCarty , passed away January 11, 2026. Amy brought an irreplaceable light and energy to our firm for over 20 years. Many are aware of Amy’s legal expertise and accomplishments, which were numerous. She had a formidable combination of intellect and compassion that she applied to all she did, whether representing our clients in complex guardianship and mental health cases; tackling pro bono matters, which she approached with the same care and attention as all her other cases; or volunteering for the many local non-profit organizations she cared so deeply about.
But what we, as her friends and colleagues, will miss most is Amy’s heart. She was a mentor to many of us at the firm, always teaching, supporting, and making herself available no matter how “in demand” she was. She was fun and adventurous, brilliant and hilarious, authentic and fierce, and we will forever treasure our memories with her.
