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.

The "Queen of Acquittals!"

I was one of the many accused of Domestic Violence in central Texas. I faced a very serious 2nd degree felony aggrivated charge. My original attourney was intimidated and apprehensive. I had been reccomended to Amber Vasquez as "The Queen of Acquittals!" and i assure you that she and her Very involve...d and compitent team, were Amazing and Fearless! They understood my situation and fought for me Above and Beyond all expectations. My nightmare is over and i am back with my family... She and her people Will Fight For You!! I cant say enough about the peace of mind that comes with "knowing you have the BEST representation possible!"

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!

Look No Further Amber is "The Real Deal"

I have hired Amber 3 times for felony cases and all three times she produced results that seemed impossible. Sometimes Amber is hard to get in touch with, but dont go anywhere else. You know the old saying "hard work produces good results", well Amber is always working and I mean from every angle of ...your case. Besides the fact that Amber is smart, knowledgeable, kind and sincerely cares for her clients, she gets results. I dont know what her magic is, but believe me when I say it, magic is what it is. I am on 10 years deferred adjudication probation for a 1st degree felony and was put in jail for a dirty UA and held for a Motion to Revoke for the 3rd time. How am I not already revoked, you might get 1 MTR and get reinstated, but 2, then 3, your going down after 2 on 10 years deferred/ Im still on probation because Amber handled my first and second MTR`s. now the third. Here is the magic, I never even went into the court room I was waiting in the holding cell to see the judge for what I was certain was revocation and being sentenced to TDC. No the told me your done continued on probation, Never saw the judge, courtroom, paperwork. No fines, no court costs, nothing. I went home that day Amber is a miracle worker and to me a gift from God. Dont be fooled by other top rated attorneys that tell you they need 10 to 15 thousand to take your case, which was the going rate for a list lawyers. Amber will handle your case every bit as good if not better than the others for far less money. Thats what I mean when I say dont be fooled. Fooled by thinking that because Amber will defend you for half the price of the big names in Austin, that you are getting less of a defense. I highly recommend Amber if you are looking for a top of the line criminal defense attorney, she is the real deal. Thank you Amber for saving me from an all but certain fate every time. I am free and got less than 2 years left on that 10 years and I owe it all to you, You are the best. Look no further< call Amber, it will be the best decision you ever made im sure of it.

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)"
