I have known Amber and her team for three years. Amber’s frankness, professionalism, and her sincerity have left a deep impression on me. As a Chinese who first came to Australia to start a business, she made me deeply believe in the soundness of Australian legal system and the independency of the legal industry. Amber has always firmly maintained her objectiveness and independence as a professional lawyer.
