AMC Legal, P.C.

Apparently if my business had a mascot it would be Wise Ella. This is so cute 💕

We’re proud to be the FIRST sponsor of the Route 66 Toy Drive!

AMC Legal, P.C. is excited to support Collin’s Eagle Scout Project with a donation of 2,500 toy cars, bringing his project 10% of the way toward his goal of collecting 25,000 cars!

Collin is bringing our community together to attempt a Guinness World Record for the longest line of toy cars. But the real reward comes after the record attempt, when the cars will be donated to children in need for the holidays.

As a family-owned business, we believe in supporting our community, encouraging our young leaders, and helping make a difference in the lives of others. We’re excited to be part of this incredible project and hope other local businesses and families will join us in supporting Collin’s mission.
