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!

Amazingly helpful

I had to request Ambers help with both a very difficult child/divorce concern, and a very difficult ex-husband. She was not only helpful in getting my needs resolved, but also helped me remain calm and positive through the process. It is indeed a very frustrating process to have to revisit and s...ort out divorce decree concerns, so I'm grateful to have had a strong, knowledgeable lawyer on my side. Ms. McClain continues to help sort out and resolve issues for me, and I continue to rely on her knowledge and strength. She was approachable during the most unconventional and inconvenient hours, and always responded within a reasonable amount of time. All of these traits make her a desirable attorney, and one I was most grateful to have on my side.

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."
