Amy J. Gonzalez

Amy Gonzalez is an Associate Attorney at Porter Scott, where she brings a strong background in client advocacy and a passion for litigation shaped by years of representing individuals in complex and high-stakes matters. Before joining the firm, Amy practiced immigration law, appearing before USCIS, immigration courts, and state courts across Northern California. Her work required both precision and compassion - skills she now applies to her litigation practice, where she is dedicated to helping clients navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.

Amy earned her Juris Doctor from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, where she was an active member of the Latinx Law Student Association, serving on the board, and was recognized with the Capital Commendation for Public Service, achieving 150 hours of community service. She graduated McGeorge in May 2020 and passed the bar in October 2020, in the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, further demonstrating her tenacity and drive.

Drawn to Porter Scott’s collaborative environment and reputation for excellence in trial work, Amy is motivated by the opportunity to tell her clients’ stories through persuasive advocacy and thoughtful strategy. She approaches each case with a balance of empathy and determination, focused on understanding client goals while pursuing the best possible outcome.
