NICOLE AMOS

Criminal Justice Professional · Pre-Law · Atlanta, Georgia

A Foundation Built on Service.
My path to law has been shaped by years of direct experience inside the criminal justice system. From serving in the Army National Guard to working as a Navy contractor handling federal employment records, to spending three years as a Juvenile Correctional Officer — I have seen the system from multiple vantage points.
That experience gave me something most aspiring attorneys don't have: a ground-level understanding of how justice operates in practice, not just in theory. I've worked with legal documentation, evidence preservation, motions, petitions, e-filing, and court processes firsthand. I plan to pursue a legal career focused on criminal law and juvenile justice, bringing real-world system experience into the courtroom and public service.
