Best Choice

When you look for a Lawyer you want someone that you can trust. Amber keeps her word. I found Amber outside of AVVO and hired her. She has compassion but has the intensity when it is needed. She has a passion for what she does and that makes a difference in the case. Amber is aggressive in the cou...rtroom and her presence is known when she walks into the room. She is patient and kind and always answered every question I ever had. When you reach out to her or her office they are attentive, they find the answers and make sure things are taken care of. Her team is dependable. The court process is tough and she saw me as a person, treated me right, and fought for what she believed in. She is first class and is a wise choice I hired Amber outside of AVVO on my own. She represented.

Super Attorney!!

I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone, she is honest, professional, ethical and, gets proven results in the courtroom!

Amber is an amazing attorney and does her job very well!

Amber represented me years ago when a doctor who I did medical billing for filed false allegations to get out of paying me. Amber had to go to 3 or 4 court dates and did her job. They ended up dismissing the false allegations and everything happened the way she said it would! Thank you!

Amazing attorney- the best!!

Mrs. Bode beat all my charges!! She was professional and worked very hard for me. I talked to other lawyers that didn't think my charges could be beat before I hired her. She won my hearing and did everything she said she would. She is the BEST criminal defense attorney in Austin!!

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Great trial lawyer. Amber gives a CLE to fellow attorneys in Austin on voir dire (picking a jury) which was one of the better CLE's I have watched. She has an impressive courtroom presence and gets to know her clients and their cases in such detail to allow her to advocate for them with compelling conviction. (probably not the best word choice)"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Amber is both one of the warmest human beings and the fiercest advocate I know. We have worked together in trial and public activism capacities, and there is no one with more heart and fire than she has. If, God forbid, I were to be charged with a serious crime, she would be my first and only call."

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.
