Amanda Tucker
Attorney, Legal Consultant
Amanda Tucker is a Senior Trial Analyst at Rick M. Goldberg & Associates, where she brings nearly two decades of litigation insight to her work in jury strategy, case framing, and witness preparation.
With us for over six years, Amanda has become a cornerstone of our trial team. Growing up with a father who was one of Houston’s premier insurance defense attorneys, litigation has been in her blood from the start. She spent 17 years managing high-stakes civil cases at her firm, developing deep expertise in fact-intensive disputes involving contested motions, emergency relief, and complex financial matters. Her work often required preparing clients and witnesses for contested hearings, evidentiary proceedings, and multi-day trials under intense scrutiny.
When it comes to witness prep, no one on our team is better at wearing the "bad guy" hat—challenging witnesses hard in rehearsal so they’re unshakable when it counts. Amanda helps legal teams anticipate juror reactions, pressure-test testimony, and transform uncertainty into poise. She brings both strategic clarity and emotional intelligence to every case she touches.
