I reached out to Amber Johnson, Esq. to handle a complex criminal defense legal matter this year (2017). On top of dealing with this case, I had mountains of work, civic, and educational obligations that were weighing on my mind and demanding quite a bit of time. From the moment I consulted with Amber, she stuck to the facts, was very accommodating, professional, and eased all of my anxieties with her knowledge of the law, legal approach, and her overall demeanor. She explained the facts of the case and the law in terms that I could understand - which was very helpful. Additionally, she kept me up to date on court proceedings and the direction that she was planning on going, as it related to my case. At all times Amber was there to answer any questions and she continuously eased my anxieties about my case. After a couple court proceedings and her requests for discovery, which the prosecution was having difficulty producing, Amber remained very steady, calm, and professional with the delays from the prosecuting attorney which extend my case a couple of more months. My case was eventually dismissed, in large part to her legal approach. The prosecuting attorney made a point to come out in the hallway, where Amber and I were debriefing after court; to let me know that my case was resolved in the manner that is was in large part to how Amber’s court room demeanor, specifically how she interacted with the prosecution and the judge in this matter. He mentioned, "She was very polite, patient, and exercised understanding throughout the court proceeding, some attorneys don’t do that and that often changes the outcome - you have a great attorney." I wholeheartedly agreed! I would add that Amber is an extraordinarily bright, emotionally intelligent, and strong attorney who never wavered in my defense; she can certainly be tough if necessary as it relates to defending her clients. She possess the uncanny ability to read a situation, the individuals involved, and adjust her approach to meet the needs of her clients without allowing emotions to dictate her behavior that may have a negative impact on her clientele or her professional reputation. I would highly recommend Amber!

Amber is genuinely concerned with helping and in my opinion goes above and beyond. I couldn’t be more happy with her help and consultation. Amber fought for me and the best outcome of my case which I was very happy with. She has taken so much time and care to explain everything in a way I could understand. I would recommend Amber for any of my friends and family.

Amber Johnson was a very informative and helpful lawyer; I would recommend her to anyone of my close friends or family. My case was a bit confusing to me, there where many different outcomes that I could not see. In the beginning, I did not think there was any hope to receive a favorable outcome. Then I met Amber, with her creativity and determination things started to look a bit better. Not only did things look better; I truly liked Amber, she was very genuine and an enjoyable person to be around. If you are looking for good help and someone that will go the extra mile Amber Johnson is the person you are looking for.

Amber was great! She helped me with an innocent owner vehicle forfeiture and was my boyfriends attorney for his DWI. I would recommend Amber to anyone. Very knowledgable and considerate of the overall outcome of the case. She was very timely with the process we needed to go through to get my vehicle back and the outcome was pretty much what she said would happen. Overall, a great experience for the unfortunate situation I was going through.

Amber Johnson was an incredible hire. She worked very hard on my case and went above and beyond her job responsibilities. She actually cares about what she does and wants to get the best possible outcome for her clients no matter what the cost. I was so impressed with how she navigated the legal system and helped my family throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her to potential clients. I was extremely impressed with her skills, work ethic, and heart. She really helped save my life.

When I started looking for representation for my case I was bombarded by business cards & snail mail, all with tons of fantastic claims and promises from most brilliant lawyers the Twin Cities had to offer. After reviewing everything I'd received and sending e-mails & calls out to a some I thought seemed like they could back up their claims, Amber was the only one who really gave me the feeling she was ready to go to work for me. I'm so glad I'd made the right choice. From start to finish, she was there for me every step of the way. Not only did she do a fantastic job representing me and my best interests, but more importantly she gave me the confidence & peace of mind I needed going into the courtroom on every occasion. I knew every time before we went in what we were there for, what my options were, and what was going to happen. After all was said and done, I couldn't be happier with the results. I don't know where I'd be without her help. It truly feels as if Amber Johnson saved my life.

I contacted a number of Attorney's, the day I spoke to Amber. She was the first one I spoke to, that was honest with me, and gave me the information I was looking for. This was my third DWI, so I needed help. I was having trouble getting my Vehicle, and my personal thing's as well. The Police Department was not returning my calls. Amber made one call, and set thing's up for me, to get my Vehicle and thing's back. She kept in touch with me, through out the process, and answered my question's, clearly and with knowledge of the process. I planned on going to court, more than just the first hearing, but after Amber spoke to the Prosecuter, and got me the deal I wanted, I was happy with the outcome. No Jail time, and minimal fine's. The best is yet to come. We agreed on a Her fee, and I paid Her 1/2 up front. She informed me, a couple day's after my court date, that She was waving the remainder of the fee, we agreed upon. WOW!! A Lawyer that does that!! She did not pay me to write this, by the way. I hope I never need Her service's again, but would refer here to anyone who needs Legal help. Your Awesome Amber. God Bless! J

"Amber isn’t one of those attorneys that will try to scare you into hiring her or pressure you to take a deal. She is professional, personable, and made me feel like she cared about me and what I wanted. Amber talked to me like a real person and took the time to make sure I understood what was going on and what the next steps would be. Amber worked hard and fought to get the result I was looking for. I was very happy with Amber’s representation."

I was arrested for a drug charge a have never before been involved in the 'system.' I had no idea what to expect. I called a lot of lawyers before I hired Amber and right away I knew she would treat me like a person and not just another paycheck. Even though I knew she was super busy, she always took the time to answer my questions and make sure I understood everything. Amber helped me so much during a horrible time in my life! The prosecutor wanted to through me in jail, but with Amber's help, I was able to get into treatment and stay out of jail. If I'm successful, I won't even have the charge on my record! I have been sober for 8 months and have been able to keep my job. and I owe it to Amber.
