Today on Women In Law On The Record, I'm talking with Amber Russell. Amber founded LOAR, PLLC to help injured Texans get justice before expanding the firm nationally. Her passion for the law started at an early age, and she has worked with victims her entire adult life. Amber graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelors in Psychology before graduating with distinguished honor to the Order of the Coif, in the top 10% from the University of Texas Law School. Amber started her career working for an international defense firm, before switching sides to represent individual plaintiffs. Since then, Amber has helped hundreds of clients who have been seriously injured, including victims of trucking and auto crashes.
In her community, Amber is known for being a fierce advocate. She and her husband launched and serve on the board of Scholarship Opportunities and Relationships or SOAR, a scholarship and mentoring program that provides $100K in annual scholarships, to help open doors for "first females." SOAR selects twenty high achievers each year to receive the scholarships in support of young women who are the first in their family to pursue higher education or who have overcome significant challenges. The scholarship program goes beyond financial resources by giving access to professional development and mentoring resources for these women as they go through school.
If you haven't figured it out by now, Amber is just a very cool woman lawyer. I truly admired her during our conversation. I'm proud of and proud for her in all she has accomplished in her career so far and I look forward to watching her bright career continue to shine.
