Amber Farrelly got involved with the Deaf Community, not because someone in her family is deaf, but because her mother enrolled her in a sign language class at the age of nine. That started her love of sign language and the people who call it their own. Now a licensed attorney in Austin, Texas, she is assigned to represent deaf clients who cannot afford an attorney whenever they are arrested on misdemeanors, such as driving while intoxicated and theft.
