Meet Amanda J. Hill | Attorney at Law & Managing Partner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amanda J. Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amanda J., how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
As I have become more seasoned attorney and business owner I value my time over anything else. Thus, I am focused on building a great team with my business so I can work on getting some time back with my family. I have a 3 year old and 6 year old daughter. I want to be able to spend as much time as I can with them as they grow up. Just 6 years ago I was grinding and working for someone else figuring out how I was going to start my family and balance it all. Joining forces with Sara my business partner has allowed me to be able to focus on the goal of having balance between spending time with my family and having a successful career.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Sara and I joined forces in 2019 after both working for larger law firms. We wanted to create the best work environment and law firm we could taking into account our past experiences. We started just us with an idea and big dream of the next 10 years. We are now 5 years in and continue to grow and build our team every day. We now have 10 assets to our team and continue to grow rapidly. We have invested in educating ourselves about building our business and the skills needed to be a successful entrepreneur.
The start was not easy, about 8 months in to starting our firm Covid hit and we were in survival mode for several years. I also gave birth to my second daughter. However, we never questioned throwing in the towel and always supported each other through all of our challenges.
These last two years we have been in growth mode and continue to dream big and better ideas for the future of our business.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My office is in San Diego but I live in Temecula, California, an hour north.
I love both places for different reasons.
I love San Diego and if I had a friend in town visiting I would take her to the beach, Coronado island, Balboa Park and little italy for dinner. One of my favorite spots is Filipi’s pizza and Barbusa restaurant. My favorite drinks spot is False Idol.
In San Diego the day would start with brunch at Farmer’s Table then the ferry to Coronado Island for some fun in the sun, check out a museum in Balboa Park to cool off and then back to Little Italy for dinner.
In Temecula, I love the views, parks, wineries, and sense of community. There are also great little eateries in Old Town. Some of my favorite spots I would take my best friend to in Old Town would be the Goat & Vine for dinner and the Two Traveler’s Wine Bar.
My favorite wineries to frequent and enjoy wine and food are Europa Village, Robert Renzoni and Akash. All are great spots with delish food. My favorite is the italian cobb salad at Robert Renzoni. Delish with a crisp white wine on a sunny afternoon.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to shout out to my family. In particular my husband, parents and grandparents.
1st my husband- he has supported me since our first year of marriage when I was studying for the bar exam to now as I continue as an entrepreneur and business owner of the law firm. He is a great life partner and supports my goals.
Parents- they have also supported me unconditionally since I decided to start my career in law. Currently they have the best job as grandparents to my daughters and my niece. It is so fun to see how deep their bonds are with our girls.
Grandparents- they supported me in college both financially and emotionally. They provided an office for me at their home to study for hours so I could focus on my studies. Their support never wavered. I will always be thankful for their support throughout my entire education and career. They always saw the potential in me which gave me the courage to keep working hard to get to my goals.
