About

I have always been dedicated to criminal defense.  I have represented numerous people through the criminal justice system who were accused of offenses including catalytic converter theft, domestic violence, torture, police shootings, robbery, narcotics trafficking, and homicide.  I have dedicated myself to studying the intricacies of California's STEP ACT and gang crimes.  I have worked with some of the state's top experts in gang and organized crime allegations.In addition to membership in the California State Bar and the California State Bar Criminal Law section, I am also a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the California Public Defender's Association.I studied both political science and psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts and later at the University of San Diego, where I received by Bachelor of Arts degree.  I focused my studies on argument, story-telling, cognitive psychology (which includes the study of unreliability of eye-witness testimony, the fallacies of light-bulb memories, the intricacies of memory, and perception.). I conducted the same independent research at Clark University, a private liberal arts college in Massachusetts, and at the University of San Diego, a Catholic University in San Diego, California, on jury behavior.  Specifically, I studied the effect of race when jurors are deciding whether or not to impose the death penalty for felony murder.  I studied the intricacies of DNA, civil rights, and philosophies behind race and society.At McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California, I focused on criminal law and graduated with a certificate in Criminal Law in May 2010.  After interning with the Stanislaus County Public Defender's Office in my first year of law school, I became a certified law student and was able to take cases to trial.  I interned at the Federal Public Defender for the Eastern District of California (2008-2009), the Stanislaus County Public Defender (2008-2010), the San Joaquin Public  Defender (2009) and ultimately did my post-bar internship at the San Diego County Public Defender (2010).

Amber was focused and paid much attention to detail. She knew every step that needed to be taken, kept me in the loop, offered moral support and the outcome was exactly what she had predicted it would be. She takes your case seriously and works steadily and consistently towards the outcome. I felt informed and confident with her as my legal representation. Great lawyer.

I am so grateful for Amber. She assisted me with a restraining order that was filed against me. It was stressful, but she made it easy to deal with. Aside from legal advice, she was an emotional support and gave great techniques when coping with stress. She was attentive to detail, responsive around the clock. From the time she picked up the first phone call to the moment we won the trial, she has been caring, passionate, personable, calm, cool, and just overall an amazing person and lawyer. She's got jokes too! It's nice to work with someone who can lighten up the mood even during a totally stressed out situation. She is a blessing.

Amber Gordon, represented me in Federal Court and was able to help me get a year on a ankle monitor, instead of 18 months in prison. Gordon, was amazing in handling negotiations and court representation. Her cool, calm manner makes her easy to talk to and she was amazingly emotionally supportive throughout the whole process. She was able to help me understand what was going on and in finding clear affective ways that resulted in a reduced sentence, ankle monitor, and probation. Amber Gordon is my go to lawyer in any case!

Amber beat the police in a highly publicized felony case. I was wrongfully charged and arrested on live T.V. Amber fought for me and i was found not guilty on a jury trial. I am so grateful for Amber.
