Amburgey Law | Western North Carolina’s Criminal Defense Practice Built by a Former Prosecutor (h1)
Amburgey Law is based at 22 South Pack Square, 12th Floor, in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, serving clients throughout Western North Carolina. The firm is led by Thomas Amburgey, a Board-Certified Specialist in State Criminal Law who spent years as an Assistant District Attorney for Buncombe County before moving to the defense side. In that role, he prosecuted thousands of cases spanning traffic violations to first-degree murder, giving him direct insight into how the state builds a case and where it can be challenged. He can be reached at 828-989-3210 or by email at [email protected].
The firm’s practice covers nearly every category of criminal exposure, from misdemeanors and routine DUI/DWI stops to violent crime, weapons offenses, sex crimes, and white-collar prosecutions. It also handles federal matters, including drug trafficking, healthcare fraud, cybersecurity crimes, and securities and tax offenses, alongside homicide and capital cases ranging from vehicular homicide to first- and second-degree murder. Amburgey has taken hundreds of bench trials and more than seventy jury trials, and the firm emphasizes that clients receive direct, personal attention rather than being treated as one file among many, with case strategy shaped by Amburgey’s own courtroom experience on both sides of the docket.
Amburgey holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and has been named to North Carolina Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite, in addition to an AVVO Top Attorney rating. That combination of prosecutorial background and peer recognition underpins the firm’s standing as a trial-tested defense practice in the Asheville region.
