About Us

A native of Walker, Louisiana, Amira attended Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, Louisiana where she received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 2010 with minors in both Management and Computer Science. 

 While at Southeastern, Amira received an award for Public Speaking in 2006, and received the PROFIT award where her work was published as the most distinguished research presentation in 2009. 

Amira began her legal career as a legal assistant in 2012, at a prominent personal injury firm in central Louisiana. Her devotion to helping others and her love for the law drove her to continue her education and further her career.

Having many mentors graduate from Southern University Law Center, Amira applied to law school at Southern and was accepted in 2013. She continued to work as a law clerk throughout her law school career and advanced her talents by assisting several law firms in preparing for civil jury trials and learning to successfully litigate a civil case.  

As a student at Southern, Amira was a research assistant for Professor Shenequa Grey, a Clyde C. Tidwell Endowed Professor, where her research in evidence was used in Professor Grey’s textbook, An Anatomy of Louisiana Evidence Law, published in 2015.  

In May 2016, Amira received her Juris Doctor and participated in her first civil trial in November 2016, resulting in an award of nearly $5.5 million dollars for five victims horrifically killed in a road rage incident. 

Throughout her early years of practice, Amira had the opportunity to aid many law firms in trial preparations, receiving large verdicts across Louisiana.

 Most notably Amira has had the pleasure of assisting in plant explosion cases as well as a food poisoning case, receiving a verdict of $14.6 million dollars for a child who will continue to suffer the long term effects of food poisoning for the remainder of her life. 

In addition to trial preparations, Amira has also assisted in appellate writing, for firms. Amira has had the rare opportunity to receive a successful return from the United States Supreme Court.  

After several years of practice, Amira branched out on her own and opened Makke Law Firm! 

Amira has legal expertise in personal injury matters, family law, criminal law, and estate planning which includes wills, successions, and interdictions. 

Amira also has furthered her knowledge in the specialized field of products liability, assisting law firms throughout Louisiana with clients receiving catastrophic injuries as a result of malfunctioning products.    

Amira is authorized to practice in all Louisiana State and Appellant Courts, the United States Federal District Courts for the Eastern, Western and Middle Districts and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.  She is currently awaiting approval to practice before the United States Supreme Court.

Beyond her legal career, Amira enjoys spending time with friends and family, as she is the proud mother of a beautiful little girl, Aslynn.
