She's absolutely worth it! !

Amber is beyond amazing. I hired her a few years ago for one thing but over the course of time it snowballed in to multiple things. Amber handled every thing thrown at her with aggressiveness professionalism. She Aaways kept me in the loop and helped guide me in making decisions in my case. But alw...ays leaving the decisions in my court. She has been a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone that needs help. She's worth every penny spent.

Personal Injury Claim

Amber represented me in a personal injury claim against two different car insurance companies after a multi-car incident. I was living internationally for half of the time we worked together and she made it easy for me to do things remotely. The opposing attorneys were ruthless and intimidating, I co...uldn't have worked with them alone. We settled out of court and I walked about with double what they offered me without an attorney.

She's the best!

I've had to the pleasure of being dragged to court for international child support in 3 states. In the first instance in Florida, I won. My wife,(since I have not yet divorced her) took my children to Germany and fraudulently obtained a child support order. After I won in Florida I relocated to Geor...gia for my employment, needIess to say I got served from the same judgement. I won again. Finally I end up in Colorado. Yes, you guessed it...I was served yet again! I tried to defend myself as I had dealt with this previously in Florida and Georgia, however Colorado is ruthless. Apparently they take international judgements very seriously, and domestic judgements are not cared about. After realizing I was in over my head I was referred to Ms. McClain. When I met her I was overwhelmed with her knowledge and confidence. I knew that if anyone could help it was her. Through the whole ordeal, the state made my life a living hell, however Amber stood by me and did everything in her power to help. After more than a year, SHE WON! Not only did I win in Colorado, she made the judgement against me go away permanently. I am now free to live wherever I want without the fear of more money and lawyers ever again! I only wish the other 2 lawyers I had previously hired were as knowledgeable as her, as I had lost countless nights of sleep, and thousands of dollars. Thanks to Amber and everyone at McClain law, you have given me my freedom!

My number one choice!

I can not recommend Amber McClain any higher, she is amazing! I had a child custody case that was complicated, emotional and just plain messy. I felt so good having Amber in my corner to help me with every aspect of my case. She was truly my voice when I didn’t have the words to speak on my own. She ...went completely above any beyond my expectations. If I ever had more custody issues arise in the future, Amber will be my very first call. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to handle my child custody case!

Professional and Knowledgeable in Removal From State Cases

Amber helped me keep my child in state after my ex moved. If you are honest and upfront, Amber will fight tooth and nail for you and your family. She is professional and aggressive in the courtroom presenting facts... not accusations. Amber is honest and will tell you where your case has strengths ...and weakness and you work together to overcome them. We will continue to use Amber for any further issues that may arise and are truly grateful for her winning our long battle to keep my family together. Amber is passionate about her work and knows the law like the back of her hand when it comes to removal from state cases.

Child custody lawyer | Dec 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I encountered Amber a couple years ago through a legal action in which she served as opposing counsel. Quickly, it became clear to me that Amber is an exceptional attorney. She is extremely committed to her work, was always well prepared, and is quick on her feet in the courtroom. Amber provided exceptional representation to her client in our very complex, high-conflict case. She is an experienced, knowledgeable attorney that will provide you the very best representation. I highly recommend her services."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I met Amber several years ago on one of her first case. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law were such that I initially didn't know she was a new attorney. I have had other cases with her since and have found her to be a firm opponent."
