EXTRAORDINARY LAWYER AND PERSON

Andrea Gundersen has been representing me for over 1 year now. I was fortunate enough to find her at the time that I did. She's literally been the biggest blessing , I like to call her a Miracle. Andrea Gundersen has brought life and hope back to what seemed to be a very dark place at one point. S...he's been my family's lifeline. As we all know, Family Law cases can be extremely sensitive and draining, and at times seem impossible to deal with. Andrea Gundersen has always made me feel secure and confident and very hopeful throughout this difficult process. Andrea Gundersen has extensive knowledge in Family Law and has tons of experience. She is super sharp, aggressive and very intense. I could not ask for a better litigator. She is a SHARK in that courtroom. She has the degree of strength and capacity that this job demands. She is FIERCE!!! Her knowledge for the law speaks for itself. She always exceeds my expectations. I feel totally protected when she is sitting by my side representing me. With that said, at the same time she manages to be one of the most compassionate and understanding persons I have been fortunate enough to encounter throughout my life. Andrea Gundersen has a very unusual way of explaining the law, and its process and procedures that makes it very easy to understand exactly what is happening. She is very realistic, straight forward, and honest. She has never left me with a question or concern unanswered. She is overall a amazing person and the best Attorney in the entire UNIVERSE!!! I write this review for Andrea Gundersen with great honor. Whomever chooses to be represented by her will have made the best decision of their lives. Andrea Gundersen is 100% reliable, responsible, diligent, caring, and EXTREMELY BRILLIANT!!! She fights for her clients like no-one else. Thanks to all her hard work, and all her countless hours of nothing but pure brilliance and passion she puts into her cases ..I am able to sleep in peace at night knowing that I have the best representation possible. It does not get better than Andrea R Gundersen "Family Law". Who Andrea Gundersen is and what she represents is priceless!!! I am and will always be truly grateful God put her in my path!!!

Amazing Professional

I am most honored to be writing this review for Andrea Gundersen. My case was extremely difficult and with my inital phone conversation, prior to even hiring her, she took the time to explain the law and provide insight on my options. She showed care and concern before meeting me and taking my case.... Once hired, she immediately started working on the case and throughout her concern was always - the best interest of the child. She spoke to you(not at you) by explaining the law so that you can understand - each step of the way. She is an extremely intelligent and professional woman that cares about her clients. I highly recommend this attorney.

Family lawyer | Oct 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Gundersen rises above others as a role model in exhibiting professionalism in her busy practice of law while she continues to be actively engaged in the activities of her organizational affiliates, the bar, and the community. She has a reputation as an ultimately professional advocate who promotes professionalism in the legal community and fights against deterioration of professionalism in the practice of law - - even high profile media cases have failed in their attempts to sway her from her focus as an ultimately professional advocate. I highly recommend Ms. Gundersen to anyone who is seeking excellent counsel and representation in family matters."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
