Cranfill SumnerTotal Records: 1Biography
Following law school, Amy Pfeiffer began her legal career in North Carolina by serving as a law clerk for the Honorable John B. Lewis, Jr. of the North Carolina Court of Appeals for the calendar year January through December 1992.
After a short stint as a legislative assistant for the NC Academy of Trial Lawyers, Amy became involved in NC workers' compensation law in 1993 when she joined the North Carolina Industrial Commission as an Agency Legal Specialist. In 1995, Amy was made a Special Deputy Commissioner, whereby she was responsible for conducting Form 24 administrative hearings. She also ruled on hundreds of medical motions, reviewed thousands of compromise settlement agreements, and traveled throughout the State to talk about the workers' compensation system to various employers and schools. In 1997, she was named a Deputy Commissioner. Amy was a Deputy Commissioner for six years, through 2003, during which time she heard hundreds of cases and filed Opinions & Awards on these cases.
Amy left the Industrial Commission in 2003 and went to work for a year for a plaintiffs' workers' compensation firm. In 2004, she came to Cranfill Sumner & Hartzog where she now represents defendants in workers' compensation cases.
