DIVORCE FILING WAS A BREEZE!!

Posted by

I have been putting off filing for divorce, for almost six years because of the hassle I thought I might incur. Searching on internet for "easy divorce filing", and came across the Houser Law Firm. These people, form their administrative folks, to their paralegals, and of course, their attorneys, made everything easy, efficient and fast. Totally and completely satisfied with the work they put into my case. Would HIGHLY recommend them!!!

I strongly endorse the Houser Law Firm. I used this legal firm for a legal matter in North Carolina, and I found the initial process and legal fee a bargain considering the cost for me to travel and deal with it. The staff was effective, prompt on all communication and efficient. I give them 5 stars. and recommend them if you require services in the NC area.

I RECOMMEND HER IF YOU NEED HELP

Posted by

Amanda is excellent at doing her job. She gave me the WHOLE truth even when I didn't want it to be the truth. She was clear and understandable. She DID NOT have an attitude. She gave me the info I needed to do what I needed to do, nothing more and nothing less. Amanda deserves a FIVE STAR rating for her amazing work. I HIGHLY recommend her; She's patient, understanding, intelligent and she will give you the whole truth to help you cope with your situation.

Great divorce attorney

Posted by

I hired Houser Law firm to represent me for my divorce. I had many questions and they answered everything quickly and precisely. It was a little difficult because of Covid and my spouse was a federal inmate, but everything was done as fast as possible and was in the time frame given. They were all very friendly and professional. I couldn't be happier.

Professional, Courteous and Responsive

Posted by

We were very impressed with the quality service we received. My husband needed an out of state divorce. He had been separated 23 years! His attorney handled all the paperwork, kept him informed every step of the way and obtained a judgment without him having to take time off work to appear in court. His attorney was extremely courteous, very quick to respond to emails and questions and professional. We would recommend his attorney without hesitation.

Amanda has a wonderful "take no prisoners" attitude which enables her to tell the unvarnished truth to her clients. She is a skilled advocate, knows the law, and has the ability to powerfully represent her clients and win cases. I endorse this lawyer. She has great instincts, and from her responses to questions on this website and others, gives of herself in a public forum in a manner which does credit to our profession. I respect and value her as a colleague. You should respect her as an Attorney.
