More than just an attorney

Amber Johnson was an incredible hire. She worked very hard on my case and went above and beyond her job responsibilities. She actually cares about what she does and wants to get the best possible outcome for her clients no matter what the cost. I was so impressed with how she navigated the legal syst...em and helped my family throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her to potential clients. I was extremely impressed with her skills, work ethic, and heart. She really helped save my life.

Amber is Awesome!

I was arrested for a drug charge a have never before been involved in the 'system.' I had no idea what to expect. I called a lot of lawyers before I hired Amber and right away I knew she would treat me like a person and not just another paycheck. Even though I knew she was super busy, she always took... the time to answer my questions and make sure I understood everything. Amber helped me so much during a horrible time in my life! The prosecutor wanted to through me in jail, but with Amber's help, I was able to get into treatment and stay out of jail. If I'm successful, I won't even have the charge on my record! I have been sober for 8 months and have been able to keep my job. and I owe it to Amber.

Exactly who I needed

When I started looking for representation for my case I was bombarded by business cards & snail mail, all with tons of fantastic claims and promises from most brilliant lawyers the Twin Cities had to offer. After reviewing everything I'd received and sending e-mails & calls out to a some I thought se...emed like they could back up their claims, Amber was the only one who really gave me the feeling she was ready to go to work for me. I'm so glad I'd made the right choice. From start to finish, she was there for me every step of the way. Not only did she do a fantastic job representing me and my best interests, but more importantly she gave me the confidence & peace of mind I needed going into the courtroom on every occasion. I knew every time before we went in what we were there for, what my options were, and what was going to happen. After all was said and done, I couldn't be happier with the results. I don't know where I'd be without her help. It truly feels as if Amber Johnson saved my life.

Honest and Fair

I contacted a number of Attorney's, the day I spoke to Amber. She was the first one I spoke to, that was honest with me, and gave me the information I was looking for. This was my third DWI, so I needed help. I was having trouble getting my Vehicle, and my personal thing's as well. The Police Depart...ment was not returning my calls. Amber made one call, and set thing's up for me, to get my Vehicle and thing's back. She kept in touch with me, through out the process, and answered my question's, clearly and with knowledge of the process. I planned on going to court, more than just the first hearing, but after Amber spoke to the Prosecuter, and got me the deal I wanted, I was happy with the outcome. No Jail time, and minimal fine's. The best is yet to come. We agreed on a Her fee, and I paid Her 1/2 up front. She informed me, a couple day's after my court date, that She was waving the remainder of the fee, we agreed upon. WOW!! A Lawyer that does that!! She did not pay me to write this, by the way. I hope I never need Her service's again, but would refer here to anyone who needs Legal help. Your Awesome Amber. God Bless! J

Quick, And A Great Guide In Legal Details

"Amber isn’t one of those attorneys that will try to scare you into hiring her or pressure you to take a deal. She is professional, personable, and made me feel like she cared about me and what I wanted. Amber talked to me like a real person and took the time to make sure I understood what was goin...g on and what the next steps would be. Amber worked hard and fought to get the result I was looking for. I was very happy with Amber’s representation."
