When you engage with me as your advocate, you are getting my legal experience as well as the experience I bring from my own unique story. You are guaranteed one-on-one contact with me over the life of your case. I represent clients in contested litigation, but I also believe in the power of dispute resolution. I am trained as a mediator, I am collaboratively trained, and I have also worked as a Guardian ad Litem and Court Visitor in Pierce County; I believe that there is just not one way to approach a case; and my skills offer you options.<\/p>\n<p>Professional and community service are important to me and I have served in Board positions for the Pierce County Washington Women Lawyers, Pierce County Lawyers Helping Hungry Children, and the Tacoma Community College Paralegal Advisory Board. I have also taught college level Paralegal courses in Tacoma, WA.<\/p>\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Famberaustinlaw%2Fvideos%2F196119298407994%2F&#038;show_text=0&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">Awards<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>Top Women Attorneys in Washington, Seattle Met Magazine, December 2021&#8243;<\/p>\n<p>Super Lawyers 2019 &amp; 2022<\/p>\n<p>Business Examiner&#8217;s 40 Under 40 Honoree 2017<\/p>\n<p>Rising Star &#8211; Super Lawyers 2017<\/p>\n<p>Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association&#8217;s Community Service Award 2016<\/p>\n<p>Member of the Year &#8211; Pierce County Washington Women Lawyers 2013<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">Associations<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>Washington Women Lawyers (Pierce County chapter) 2011 &#8211; present<\/p>\n<p>Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association, Family Law Section 2011 &#8211; present<\/p>\n<p>Washington State Bar Association 2007 &#8211; present\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pierce County Chapter of Lawyers Helping Hungry Children 2015 &#8211; 2018<\/p>\n<p>Mentor for Mentoring Children of Promise 2010 &#8211; 2012<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 tabindex=\"0\">Education<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>Florida Coastal School of Law: 2003-2006<\/p>\n<p>Western Washington University: 2000-2002<\/p>\n<p>Tacoma Community College: 1997-2000<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.expertise.com\/wa\/tacoma\/divorce-attorney\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/expertise-com\/image\/upload\/f_auto,fl_lossy,q_auto\/w_auto\/remote_media\/awards\/wa_tacoma_divorce-attorney_2021_transparent.svg\" alt=\"Best Tacoma Divorce Lawyers\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.avvo.com\/attorneys\/98402-wa-amber-austin-1442480.html?utm_campaign=avvo_rating&#038;utm_content=1217583&#038;utm_medium=avvo_badge&#038;utm_source=avvo\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amberaustinlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_26_54.png\" alt=\"screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_26_54\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"377\" width=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amberaustinlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_26_54.png 494w, https:\/\/amberaustinlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_26_54-300x229.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" title=\"screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_26_54\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.superlawyers.com\/washington\/tacoma\/lawyer\/amber-austin\/de6fd9d5-3904-4b03-87ec-92b9b27d6000.html\" target=\"_blank\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amberaustinlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_27_30.png\" alt=\"screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_27_30\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"259\" width=\"293\" title=\"screenshot-www.amberaustinlaw.com-2020.10.01-16_27_30\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Amber N.
