Posted by Lucy | July 24, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Highly Recommend

I recently experienced a very difficult personal financial situation involving my ex-husband. I was referred to Amy Amundsen and Joe Smith for help. They both offered support and concern and through Amy's expertise, the situation was solved fairly and equitably. I could immediately tell that Amy had ...compassion for me and was going to do whatever it took to settle the case with my best interest at heart. She helped get through a very difficult period in my life, and I will be forever grateful!

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.
