Best Defense Attorney in Austin

Amber helped me when nobody else could. She absolutely understands the human side of legal issues, but more importantly is tenacious in court and fights for your rights. Well connected throughout Texas, if you need an attorney that cuts through the red-tape and offers the most honest counsel, it is p...aramount you contact Amber. I hope to never need a defense attorney again, but if I do, I will choose Amber Farrelly every time.

Hire her!

Amber is an above average person in general, so when she gets in court she is an above average attorney. Actually the best I’ve seen. For a very fair payment I was released from probation early, and I know for sure without her there... I would not have been released early. Most other attorneys would ...not have handled me, or the situation that I faced in court that day as perfectly as she did... fast thinking and fast acting. Very in tune with the client too. I have nothing but respect and gratitude for her. I’ve never seen such an awesome attorney in action. I’m completely happy!

Amber will fight for you!

If you want a lawyer who will truly fight your case in court, it's Amber. She is not shy to negotiate deals and is always ready for trial. When Amber entered the room, I knew I had the best lawyer. The other lawyers are quick to take plea deals, but Amber is so good, she knows when she can get a bett...er outcome, and she refuses to let you take less than best. Her mantra is "don't worry until I tell you to." I never needed to worry with Amber. She provided the best possible outcome for me. I was in tears for the miracles she did for me. I can't say it enough. She fights for you. I also loved her payment plan. Flat fee, no matter how much she had to do - from appearances, to research, to trial. No nickle and diming along the way. I thought that was very fair, took a lot of stress out of the situation, and again demonstrates how confident you can be in the outcome when you pick Amber. I was so naive when I started this process. If it weren't for Amber's tenacity and persistence, I might have settled. Looking back, I can say that you need someone who will go into battle for you so that you can live your life in the end. I am so thankful to Amber.

The Best Attorney in Austin

Looking for the best criminal attorney in Austin and likely the state of Texas? Your search is over, Amber Farrelly is the best there is. She is determined, bold, and strategic. Unwilling to compromise your clean criminal record, even if an outstanding plea deal is offered, which is likely due to he...r representing you--the DA’s office does not want to go up against her. Twice, I have needed her astute service, and twice I have received dismissals. I was ready to give up and accept a plea deal, but Amber told me “no way, you have done nothing wrong, and I am going to fight for you”. Fight she did, when the officer took the stand, Amber made quick work of his feeble testimony and had him turning red on the stand. I felt embarrassed for the guy. You know you have a great attorney when jury members approach her for a card after trial. If you have been charged with a crime and want the best representation available, call Amber.
