Best experience!

I worked with Amber around 3 yrs ago regarding a custody family law issue. She, Porter Corrigan, asmbs Mr. Orsinger Gane me the best experience kept me informed fought tooth and nail to get me the judgement in my case that was due. I would recommend them immediately to anyone that asked and even th...ose that stated they were going through something similar!

Fabulous

I have retained two attorneys previously and consulted several others during my lengthy family law case. Amber immediately spotted flaws in my visitation agreement that no one else ever caught. She was relentless in her review and negotiation of my case. Her expertise resulted in a happy ending for m...y family.

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.
