Judge Amanda Levy-Reis serves on the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, where she oversees Unified Family Court and a portion of the Collier County probate docket. Appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis, she started her service on April 21, 2025. Known for her strong commitment to the Constitution and her belief in limited judicial power, her decisions mirror a philosophy grounded in personal responsibility, respect for tradition, and constitutional principles, ensuring her rulings adhere to the law and safeguard individual rights.

Her legal career spans over 20 years and includes extensive service in the federal judiciary. For more than a decade, Judge Levy-Reis worked as a federal law clerk for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, advising Article III judges and drafting thousands of judicial orders. She later continued her federal service in the Eastern District of California, helping establish a new magistrate judge’s chambers and managing a large and diverse docket. These experiences strengthened her conviction that a judge’s role is not to create policy but to faithfully interpret the law and uphold the Constitution's clear boundaries.

Judge Levy-Reis also worked in the private sector, handling civil and commercial cases in both state and federal courts, and served as a civil traffic hearing officer in Lee, Charlotte, and Hendry counties. Her role demanded sound judgment, a calm courtroom demeanor, and a disciplined application of statutes and precedent. Just before joining the circuit bench, she worked at Florida Rural Legal Services, representing families in domestic relations cases and coordinating pro bono efforts to improve access to justice. Throughout her career, she has focused on fairness, accountability, and consistent application of the law.
