Law Office of Amanda Gentry

Father Shaped This Native Middle Tennessean Attorney With Love And Stability

Clients seek out trial attorney Amanda Gentry for straight-forward, honest answers to complex legal questions during some of life's most difficult developments. She's known for being accessible, communicative, responsive and realistic about possible legal outcomes, as well as reasonable about legal fees.

Amanda says her father, Mark Gentry, had a strong influence on the way she conducts her legal business. “He’s been working in, and a reliable part of the Belle Meade community, for more than 35 years. He’s a straight shooter. He’s been my rock star parent since the mid-1980s.”

She was one of the first children in Nashville to be awarded full time custody to a father. “He was very protective of me, and engaged in my education. To this day, he is my best friend," she adds.

Amanda is an only child and an only grandchild, and she says that one of the deciding factors in her applying to law school. “I wanted to make sure I was informed enough to be able to navigate the difficult situations of those close to me,” she recalls. “Difficult situations can be anything from starting a business, being arrested, or dying without a will.”

She’s worked most of her adult life in small businesses. She spent her years in law school working for a company that invests solely in community banks. She supports small and local businesses and focuses her practice on those who live, work, or are affected by the same.

Amanda earned her Juris Doctorate from The Nashville School of Law in 2013. Her areas of practice span family law, felonies, misdemeanors, defense of driving under the influence, drug-related crime laws, domestic violence, divorce procedures, grandparents' rights, criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct, aggravated assault and battery charges, sex crimes and even murder allegations. 

"Having an attorney who will communicate with you and give you the best case and worst case legal scenarios is essential. Judges are all facts-specific, so no attorneys should be guaranteeing clients certain outcomes," she attests.

"Watching a man or woman cry tears of joy because I believed in them, and helped them through a broken justice system, is why I do this and why I love my work," Amanda concludes.
