Amy Explains the Law
I'm here to make the law easier to understand
for real people.
The legal world can feel overwhelming, complicated, and sometimes absurd. Amy’s mission is to cut through the jargon, explain things clearly, and help people feel a little less intimidated by the system.
I'm a Practicing Lawyer
I received my law degree and master’s in education from The University of Pennsylvania, and am the Chief Legal Officer of The Judge Group, Inc. I’m also a legal commentator for KYW News Radio, an all-news radio station based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, broadcasting continuously at 1060 AM, 103.9 FM. I also provide legal commentary on television and on social media. View my recent segments.

I'm an Author
Together with my sister, Robin Epstein, who is a Professor at NYU and an author herself, I co-wrote the book So Sue Me Jackass! Avoiding Legal Pitfalls That Can Come Back To Bite You At Work, At Home, And At Play, published by Penguin Publishing Group.
More recently, I wrote a middle grade book called Ezra Exposed, the story of a mischievous fifth grader who gets an iPhone for his tenth birthday and uses it to take funny pictures of things that look like butts. He gains a reputation and a following among the popular kids in school for his posts, until he takes a photo that comes back to bite him. It’s a story meant to keep kids laughing and provide a jumping off point for parents and educators to begin an age-appropriate conversation about on-line safety and digital privacy in a way that doesn’t feel like a lecture.
Suzanne Francis, New York Times bestselling Disney author
“Sweet, silly Ezra and his butt-joke-loving, approval-seeking antics make for a hilarious read, but it’s the serious digital citizenship lesson that parents and educators will applaud. I’m putting this in front of my kids now!”
... and a Daughter
I am so lucky to be the daughter of two amazing parents. My father passed away many years ago after a stroke and a battle with pancreatic cancer. Along with my sister, Robin, and my husband, we work together to create a care community for our aging mother. Our experience and the lessons we are learning are the basis of the podcast that Robin and I do together called Senior Management: Caring For Your Aging Parents.

I'm Also a Mom ...
I’m also a mom … and a grandmom!
This is the part where you say: A grandmom? That’s crazy! You look way too young to be a grandmom!
To which I reply: Oh that’s so nice of you to say.

"Ugh. Is she still talking?"
I Can Speak to Your Group
I deliver engaging, research-based presentations to parents, educators, school districts, and student audiences on critical issues related to online safety, digital privacy, and responsible technology use. My work focuses on helping communities understand emerging digital risks, develop practical protection strategies, and foster healthier online behaviors. I regularly speak at district-wide trainings, parent education nights, professional development workshops, and student assemblies, providing actionable guidance tailored to each group’s needs.
In addition to education topics, I also serve as a keynote speaker on a range of contemporary legal subjects, including the evolving regulatory landscape of artificial intelligence, strategies for avoiding discrimination lawsuits, and emerging employment law issues. My presentations help organizations, HR leaders, and legal professionals understand shifting compliance requirements, mitigate risk, and navigate the rapid changes reshaping workplace policy and technology governance.
