Amy Fitzpatrick is a dedicated public servant, experienced attorney, and devoted mother. As the current County Solicitor, Amy is the chief civil legal officer for the county, overseeing a team of ten attorneys and managing all legal matters that impact local government. Her role requires her to navigate complex legal issues, uphold the law with integrity, and ensure that Bucks County operates efficiently and fairly for all residents.

Amy’s journey to Bucks County is one of resilience and purpose. Raised by a single mother without extended family nearby, she learned firsthand the values of hard work, perseverance, and community. Though not a Pennsylvania native, she and her husband, Mike, made the conscious decision to return to his roots in Bucks County, drawn to its strong sense of community, quality schools, and the safe environment it offers for their three children. For the past 15 years they have lived in Northampton Township, where their children, ages 11, 13, and 15, attend Council Rock schools. Mike grew up in Holland and attended Archbishop Wood. His deep ties to the area, along with their involvement in the St. Andrew parish and local sports leagues, have further strengthened their family’s connection to this incredible community.

Amy earned her law degree from the University of California College of the Law and her undergraduate degree from Connecticut College. Before entering public service, she worked at two national law firms, gaining extensive experience in civil litigation. However, her career path took a significant turn in 2020 after a life-altering experience nearly losing one of her children. This pivotal moment deepened her commitment to serving her community, leading her to transition from private practice to public service.

As County Solicitor, Amy has spent the past four and a half years working to protect taxpayer dollars, strengthen government accountability, and ensure that Bucks County’s legal affairs are handled with the highest ethical standards. Through this work, she has developed a deep understanding of the challenges facing residents, the legal system’s role in addressing those challenges, and how government can be a force for good when guided by fairness, integrity, and common sense.

Amy believes that justice should be applied equally and without bias. If elected judge, she will bring her extensive legal experience, strong moral compass, and deep commitment to the rule of law to the bench. She is dedicated to keeping our community safe, ensuring fair and impartial rulings, and treating every individual who enters her courtroom with dignity and respect.
