"I had a very great experience retaining Amber to help me on a very quick, but annoying legal matter. From the first contact, she was right on top of things. She always was available by text and phone, and made me feel like my time was valuable to her as well. She was very easy to talk to, she listened to all details, and handled my matter with ease. The thing I liked most about having Amber help me was she was very down to earth. A lot of attorneys can make you feel like you are wasting their time when it doesn’t involve something major or a big payday. Not Amber. It was more like I was talking to a friend on the phone with her communication style and the comfortability I had in talking with her. I would recommend Amber to anyone friends or family. She deserves all the positive feedback she receives and works hard for her clients in this city. 10/10"

"As someone who has never needed legal services before I can definitively say the law offices of Amber Bellante are in fact, THE single most capable and knowledgeable serving the greater sacramento area, I was facing felony evading police charges along with an elevated BAC dui charge and misdemeanor hit and run, not only was Counsel Bellante able to negotiate a deal to get my felony dismissed and high BAC charge reduced, she was able to get my original sentence converted to community service and probation. NO JAIL TIME. She not only kept me informed and up to date at every turn, but fought dauntlessly to get me the BEST outcome possible. If you are seeking legal advice or services of ANY kind, the wisest thing you could do would have Counsel Bellante take your case. Thank you for everything Amber!"

"I cannot speak highly enough about Amber and the way she handled my son’s case. As a father, watching your child face serious legal trouble is extremely difficult to say the least. One mistake on a single night could have followed him for the rest of his life — but thanks to Amber’s intelligence, persistence, and incredible legal skill, that didn’t happen. She got one of the charges dismissed (which carried a six-month jail term), worked out an amazing deal on the others — and structured it so that everything could be done through community service, in another state. No jail. No ankle monitor. No life-ruining outcome. She saved him from having to travel back to California (from the east coast) three different times and more importantly helped him keep his future intact. She worked fast, stayed focused, handled everything with grace and precision — and truly cared. I’m not just grateful. I’m relieved and overjoyed. Amber gave my son a real second chance. If you’re lucky enough to hire her, you are in the best possible hands."

"I was really impressed with Amber Bellante's legal serves. She is dedicated to my cases, hard working and never gives up! She knows what it mean to be a great attorney; she most certainly is one of the best. Amber successfully got my resisting arrest case dismissed and resolved without a violation of probation, no additional time or penalties. I highly recommend Amber Bellante to anyone who needs a criminal deference attorney. I have trusted Amber Bellante to handle my cases for the past decade and she will continue to be my attorney from the next decade, 2020's. -Kirk Kuykendall"
