Posted by Rebecca S Myers | January 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

She's a ninja!

I have retained Amber for a couple of misdemeanors, as well as consulted with her on various things throughout the years. She is knowledgeable and realistic. She will fight for you and make sure that you're aware of all of your options, as well as potential outcomes. She LOVES trial, and won't settle... on behalf of her clients unless her client chooses to (she will even battle it out if she thinks a plea deal is in your best interest, yet you prefer to go ahead with trial). She gives it her all, and treats every case as though it is the only one she is handling. I would recommend her over and over! I sing her praises to everyone I know- if you need an experienced, qualified, knowledgeable attorney who isn't going to sugarcoat anything and give it to you straight at all times, then Amber is your girl!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
