About Amber
Amber August trained first as a student of criminal justice and later as a practicing attorney. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Police Science from Texas Woman's University in 2014 and completed her Juris Doctor at the University of North Texas at Dallas College of Law in 2021. Those years in school provided classroom grounding and a close look at how law and public safety intersect.
She began her legal career in a support role at Ghrist Law Office, where she worked as a law clerk in 2021. In that post she handled legal research and drafted motions and memoranda. The position exposed her to the practical tasks that underlie courtroom work and client representation, and it served as a bridge from academic study to licensed practice.
In 2023 she joined McCormick Law Office as a lawyer. Her resume lists that firm as her current office, where she has taken on responsibilities consistent with an associate attorney. She has experience preparing filings, meeting with clients, and coordinating with colleagues on case strategy. The move to McCormick Law Office marked her transition to a full-time practicing attorney.
August is licensed to practice in both Texas and Oklahoma. Those dual jurisdictions shape the work she accepts and influence how matters are managed, from procedural requirements to timing and court rules. Practicing across state lines requires attention to differing local practices and deadlines, and her record shows she has navigated that element of private practice.
Since 2023 she has held membership in a professional association, maintaining connections to peers and resources that support legal work. That membership is listed alongside her other professional details and reflects a typical path for attorneys who split time between firm responsibilities and broader industry engagement.
Her background blends academic study in criminal justice with early hands-on experience in law offices. Colleagues and clients can expect a lawyer who has moved steadily from clerkship duties to managing files and client interactions at a private firm. She currently practices at McCormick Law Office, handling matters in Texas and Oklahoma.
