Amy R. Stein

Attorney

Amy R. Stein is a trusted advocate for families and individuals across Southern Indiana, offering steady counsel in moments that feel anything but steady. Her practice spans family law, personal injury, and criminal defense, with a strong focus on guiding clients through high-stress transitions with clarity, empathy, and a plan that makes sense.

In family law, Amy handles divorce, custody, and guardianship matters with a thoughtful, client-centered approach. She also represents children who have been abandoned by one or both parents and may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, and she accepts appointments as Guardian ad Litem to investigate and advocate for the best interests of children in custody cases. Her experience in these roles reflects both legal precision and deep care for the real-life outcomes that follow a court decision.

Amy’s background also includes service as a deputy prosecutor in Harrison County, where she gained valuable courtroom experience and sharpened a practical, evidence-driven approach to criminal defense. She returned to Stein Law in 2013 and has been an integral part of the firm’s multi-practice growth ever since.

As the daughter of founder Nick Stein, Amy brings both legacy and modern perspective — helping uphold the firm’s reputation for personal attention while supporting its broader identity beyond personal injury. She works with Spanish-speaking clients regularly and strives to make the legal process more accessible and respectful for those who may feel intimidated by the system.

Outside the office, Amy is deeply community-minded and values a life rooted in responsibility, curiosity, and the outdoors — which mirrors the grounded, thorough way she supports her clients.
