    Amy Buchansky-Francesco

    Shareholder

    Amy Buchansky-Francesco, Esq. is a member of Stark & Stark’s Accident & Personal Injury Group. She represents individuals in personal injury matters and brings more than three decades of legal experience to clients.

    Amy began her legal career practicing insurance defense in New York City. That early experience gave her valuable insight into how insurance claims and litigation are evaluated and defended. She now advocates for plaintiffs in personal injury matters, helping clients pursue accountability and recoveries after accidents and other injuries.

    In addition to her personal injury practice, Amy has experience handling a range of civil legal matters in New Jersey and New York. She is admitted to practice in both states, as well as in federal court, and her multijurisdictional background enables her to serve clients whose legal matters cross state lines.

    Amy is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, New York State Bar Association, Richmond County Bar Association, Monmouth County Bar Association, and New Jersey Association for Justice. She has also volunteered in schools throughout her community.

    Amy earned her J.D. from New York Law School and her B.A. in Psychology from New York University’s Washington Square College of Arts & Science. She resides in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Outside of practice, Amy is a proud mom of 3 adult children and enjoys spending time with family.
