Amelia earned her J.D. from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 2020 and a B.A. from Arizona State University in 2018. She is admitted in Kentucky and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky. Her education and litigation experience support a practice that requires detailed analysis of workplace facts, statutory requirements, administrative procedures, and employer policies.

She previously represented both employers and employees at a regional firm, giving her experience with workplace disputes from different perspectives.

Amelia Kitchens brings several years of litigation experience to employers facing sensitive personnel disputes and government investigations. Her background on both sides of employment matters helps her evaluate risk, identify practical resolution strategies, and understand how claims may be presented by opposing parties. She focuses on helping clients respond to discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour, and termination claims, manage administrative charges, and prepare for litigation when disputes move beyond the agency stage.
