Firm Information

Overview

Austin attorney Amber Vazquez Bode is highly qualified to handle your criminal defense needs. Amber has represented clients in many different types of cases such as those involving family violence issues, DWIs, murders, sex crimes as well as state and federal drug crimes. She has tried over 50 cases across Texas and won the majority of them.

Amber is consulted regularly by local, state and national media outlets to consult on criminal issues, and has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, KEYE, KXAN, the National Women’s Radio Network and Nancy Grace. She has received several awards from the Texas legal community, including being named by Texas Lawyer magazine as the top "Winning Women" for Travis County in 2014. She is also the current presiding director of the Austin Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, an organization committed to protecting the rights of individuals charged with crimes. In 2013, the Travis County Women Lawyer's Association named her the recipient of the Criminal Justice Award, recognizing her contributions to the legal field and community.

Amber has a strong record of success when taking cases to trial, as she has received countless dismissals and not guilty verdicts. She is one of few attorneys in the area who is willing to take her cases inside the courtroom. She knows how to attack the weaknesses in the prosecution's case and is aggressive when challenging the evidence against her clients.

Federal crimes are a large part of the practice at Amber's law firm. She is licensed in all four districts, as well as the 5th Circuit and the United States Supreme Court, and has actually handled cases at the federal level.

With her extensive experience defending clients accused of crimes, Amber Vazquez Bode is an attorney you can trust to present a strong fight on your behalf. She is focused on helping you defeat the charges that you are facing.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
