Amy Mix

Amy Mix is the Director of the DC Resource Bridge, a new program in partnership with the DC Bar Foundation that provides low-income DC residents with a one-stop access point to a wide variety of legal services. She has spent most her career advocating for District residents after completing her two-year Equal Justice Works Fellowship at the National Consumer Law Center.

During her nearly two decades in legal services, Amy served in several roles at Legal Counsel (LCE) for the Elderly, where she represented and advocated for older residents facing financial exploitation and fraud, foreclosure, and other consumer issues. While at LCE, Amy helped lead efforts to reform the District’s real property tax sale scheme and played a primary role in the creation of a model residential foreclosure early mediation program. She also helped establish court-based legal services programs to reach pro se defendants in foreclosure and debt collection cases. And she was a founding member of the District’s Collaborative Training & Response for Older Victims (DC TROV), a multidisciplinary team of legal and non-legal providers created to increase the ability of government agencies and law enforcement to recognize, assist with, and prosecute cases of elder abuse and exploitation.

Amy left LCE in 2019 to serve as the Chief of a newly formed Elder Justice Section at the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia. There, Amy worked with staff to enforce the District’s law against exploitation and abuse of elders and vulnerable adults. Amy’s team successfully prosecuted civil violations of the law, securing judgments ordering restitution and permanent injunctions to ensure that abusers no longer had financial access to their elder or vulnerable victims.

Just prior to joining Legal Aid, Amy investigated and litigated violations of consumer financial protection laws as Senior Litigation Counsel in the Division of Enforcement at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, working to ensure that American consumers are treated fairly in the financial marketplace.
Amy was the 2012 recipient of the Manna American Dream Award for her work in the preservation of affordable homeownership and the 2022 inaugural Elizabeth Lewis Award for Excellence in Continuing Legal Education from the DC Bar. She earned her J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center and B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin.
