Excellent Defense Attorney

If you require a competent and compassionate attorney, consider contacting Amburgey Law. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Thomas Amburgey during my first experience seeking legal advice and defense representation. Mr. Amburgey demonstrated thorough understanding by carefully listening t...o my circumstances, asking insightful questions, and providing a clear summary of our defense strategies. He played a crucial role in alleviating my concerns and addressing my anxiety throughout the process. During the extended legal proceedings, Mr. Amburgey was consistently present at every court appearance, offering invaluable support. He took care to explain each stage of the process and, with the assistance of his paralegal Vanessa, maintained regular communication. It was reassuring to know that Mr. Amburgey was committed to advocating on my behalf from start to finish. Ultimately, both of my cases were successfully dismissed.

Best in Asheville

Out of many attorneys, Thomas was the only to tell me what I needed to know. Not only that, he took hours out of his day to sit down with me & give advice that helped me secure a legal victory. One of the most competent & moral attorneys I’ve dealt with.

Professional Recommendation

Loyalty, care, confidentiality, expertise and so much more. Vanessa and Thomas worked diligently to provide me with sound guidance and great information for informed decision making. Additionally, the professionalism that they exude to their clients is what gives this firm the reputation that they... are known for. If your looking for counsel to represent you, I recommended Amburgey Law.

A Pro’s Pro

Although my case was trivial in the grand scheme of things, I was treated as though my case was their top priority. Thomas’ previous experience as a DA, coupled with Vanessa’s expertise, his highly qualified legal assistant made for a straightforward, expeditious experience. Again, for individuals co...nsidering Thomas for serious, nuanced situations or more run of the mill cases, this is the team you want behind you. Cannot overstate their professionalism, efficiency, and consistent communication!

Excellent Lawyer

I highly recommend Thomas Amburgey to anyone looking for a criminal attorney. He is a highly intelligent, charismatic, knowledgeable lawyer. He knows the system and the stakeholders involved with the judicial system in Buncombe County. He has genuine concern for his clients and is an extremely cap...able attorney. I hope I never need a criminal attorney again but if I do, he will be my first call. My case ended with a dismissal. He is a great attorney.
