Amanda J. Robichaux
Attorney, Partner
Amanda Robichaux began working as a receptionist and legal assistant at Schneider Law Offices, the precursor to Kerr Robichaux and Carroll, following graduation in 2007. In 2013, she graduated from law school and was admitted to the Oregon Bar. She rejoined the company as an associate attorney in 2013 and was promoted to partner in 2017.
She was raised in southern Louisiana by her father who was an attorney, and her mother who was a nurse. Her background and upbringing gives Amanda an edge over many other lawyers. She utilizes her knowledge of science and biology when reviewing medical records to present unique theories of disability. She has prepared thousands of cases for hearings and helped the firm create the model it utilizes today to efficiently request and obtain medical records. She loves digging into a client’s story to find new and interesting ways to prove disability. She has represented thousands of individuals at disability hearings and manages the firm’s client intake department. In 2019 she became a licensed insurance agent and helps beneficiaries enroll in Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans after they are awarded disability and Medicare. The firm is now handling Medicare denials and appeals.
