LOAR PLLC is a fast-growing, woman-owned, civil trial law firm with offices in Austin, Waco, and Dallas/Fort Worth, Rio Grande Valley, with current expansion into Colorado and Washington. Following her passion for technology and innovation, Amber Russell founded LOAR to combine technology and legal acumen to create a better experience for her clients, for her employees, and for the communities she and her team support. A key improvement to this model is the ability for all work to be done virtually or at any of the firm's three state wide offices or at home with the same efficiency and productivity. While work can be done virtually, the company also believes in the power of face to face conversations and relationships. LOAR PLLC is looking for top legal talent that shares in their passion for the law and improving the lives of Texans.

I started LOAR to reinvent the Personal Injury practice, focusing on long-term goals balancing client success, community impact, and a positive, growth-oriented work environment. As part of this, we launched SOAR Texas, a nonprofit scholarship foundation, to provide $100K in annual college scholarships to 20 outstanding female students. We also began hosting Women in Law events to bring together women in the legal profession to foster connections, provide support, and expand our professional networks. The same spirit of connection and support flows through our firm, and it’s a large part of what has driven our success.

In these forums, a common question we get is how we can partner with LOAR PLLC. In some cases, these were firm owners who were looking to supplement their income, provide new services for their local relationships, or maintain their autonomy while getting the benefits of a large firm. In other cases, we have had conversations with women who left the work place for a vareity of reasons whether their desire location doesn’t have the right options, staying at home with children, or they are at a career stage where they are seeking to scale back their committments. In these cases they want to stay intellectually engaged in law, maintain professional relationships and supplement their income while focusing on their other priorities. We built our Attorney Partner Network to provide for these partnership opportuntities.

Areas of Practice

  • Trucking Crashes

    Our team has experience helping people who have been hurt as a result of a truck driver’s negligence. No one can erase what happened, but we can help you get justice. Make the call that matters,

  • Wrongful Death

    Many who have lost a loved one face not only grief, but also the sudden imperative to provide for themselves and their family. While no amount of money will ease the pain of losing a loved one, we believe that holding negligent parties accountable, we help ensure that this same type of tragedy does not happen to another family. In instances of wrongful death, Texas Courts may grant spouses, children, and even parents compensation for financial and emotional losses.

  • Car Wrecks

    The Law Office of Amber Russell helps clients who have been hurt in car wrecks every day. They have made recoveries for clients who have lost loved ones as a result of drunk drivers, distracted drivers, and delinquent company drivers.

  • Personal Injury

    We are passionate about helping families recover after a tragedy. Our firm has represented clients in trucking crashes, premises liability cases, victims of sexual harassment, and children who have been injured.

  • Class Action / Mass Tort

    Your injuries may be an example of many others’ experiences. By contacting a Texas personal injury attorney right away, you could be in the position to begin a class action lawsuit or to join an existing action. The only way to determine if you are one of many people similarly hurt is to speak with an experienced attorney.

  • Workplace Injury

    If you or your loved one has suffered a severe work injury or has tragically lost their life while on the job, our workplace injury lawyers, wrongful death attorneys, and accomplished support staff provide trusted legal representation for our fellow Texans.

  • Premises Liability

    When you are hurt on someone else’s property, what should have been a fun vacation, an important work trip, or a simple run to the store can become a nightmare. We can help. Property owners who invite you on their property for their own benefit (like hotels, apartments, grocery stores, restaurants, and other businesses), owe a duty to protect you from any unreasonably dangerous conditions that they knew or should have known about. This can include the condition at the property like a concealed hole on the walking path, or even the risk of being a victim of a violent crime.

  • Ranch Hand Injuries

    The Texas Supreme Court issued an opinion on a case involving the death of a ranch employee and determined the Farm Animal Liability Act does not apply to “ranchers and ranch hands.” We can help Ranch Hands injured at work.

  • Pedestrian / Bicycle Crashes

    Pedestrian and bicycle crashes require a special approach to understand the mechanisms of injury and neutralize specific attacks against non-motorized vehicles on the road. Don’t let the defendant blame you, call for help navigating your case, 512-777-3135.

  • Nursing Home Neglect

    Nursing homes and long-term care facilities are required to provide a certain standard of care, yet they often fall short. They fail to keep their residents as clean, healthy, and safe as they should. Neglect in nursing homes, or worse yet, abuse, can cause your loved one to get hurt or deteriorate. If you suspect that your loved one is suffering from neglect or abuse at a care facility, do not hesitate to call the nursing home neglect attorneys at Begum Law Group Injury Lawyers.

  • Offshore Injury

    If you’ve been injured while working on a maritime vessel, offshore oil or gas rig, ship, tug boat, or any other number of vessels, you could be covered under the Jones Act, which has protected maritime workers, seamen, sailors and others who work on U.S. territorial waters for nearly a century. Or you could be covered by maritime law, also known as admiralty law.

  • Medical Malpractice

    We are thankful for our first responders and frontline medical personnel, now more than ever. Not all medical providers, however, are created equal. When a hospital or nursing home prioritizes profits over safety, this results in understaffing, failure in training, and rushed decisions. Then bad things happen and innocent people get hurt. If you’ve been injured as a result of medical malpractice, call us and see how we can help.

  • Eminent Domain / Condemnation

    The condemnation process in Texas is complex, and when the governmental authorities come to take your property, our firm will fight for you to ensure you are not run over in the process.

  • Pro Bono Representation

    Helping those who cannot afford legal services is at the heart of our firm. LOAR, PLLC takes on cases, free of charge, in the areas of family law (including divorces, foster care, and adoption) and criminal justice for victims of physical and/or sexual abuse.
