Amazing - The Best Bull Dog

Amber is AMAZING... she is understanding, knowledgeable and professional. She took over my child custody case without a struggle and it was a very smooth transition. I had no worries with Amber. I would recommend Amber to anyone!!

Posted by Lisa | March 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Amber was amazing!

When Amber handled my divorce it was very obvious this was her area of expertise! She was very thorough and left no stone unturned! She guided me through a difficult and emotional time and handled my divorce battle like it was her own. She fought for the best interest of my children and settled for n...othing less. She was reassuring and compassionate when we met, yet aggressive and forceful in the court room! I have hired her a few times since then for other legal issues and have recommended her to friends and family. Also, her paralegal Jessica has always been extremely knowledgeable and helpful every time I have spoken with her!

Divorce with kids

Attorney Vangunten represented me in a recent divorce. She was very professional and easy to communicate with during the case. She is very knowledgable about Family and Criminal Law. I have reccomended her to several friends and they also have been very happy with her representation.

  • 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.
