This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Succinct & concise & empathetic to boot!

I am 60yrs old and had NEVER been arrested or in serious trouble until i found myself in a soap opera type nightmare with LVPD reading me my Miranda rights! I was being falsely accused of bullying & assaulting my elderly mother that I was caring for. I was scared out of my wits and having trouble s...eeing ANY way out of going to jail. Suddenly i went from loving daughter to an alleged abusive caregiver. My unethical, greedy brothers thought they might get cut out of our mothers will so they plotted (to the best of their ignorant ability) to discredit me and manipulate my mother into tossing me into jail and them directly into her bank accounts. I had heard of Amber months ago in passing. I NEVER thought I’d need a defense attorney. Thank GOD for Amber Fuhriman. I got on line and frantically searched for a defense attorney. I recognized her name and called. She answered. The police had gone to corroborate (or not) my version of events when Amber answered my call. She listened patiently to my plea for help to keep me from being arrested. She quickly assessed my situation, asked a few important questions and then calmly extracted me from the abyss I had begun to sink into. She told me precisely what COULD happen next. Thats what happened. She explained what to do if and when it did happen, and as succinctly and concisely as a preacher on a pulpit would, she calmed my frayed nerves with facts. She allowed me to function in a calmly educated manner. when I felt like I was being railroaded she armed me with facts so that I didn’t fall into my evil brothers trap: Rattle me so I would melt into a puddle of tears, followed by outrage and indignation, my brothers pushed all the buttons that were installed in childhood, all fueled by age old sibling rivalries. Amber helped me keep my cool and not lose control of my emotions. She stated facts and kept me out of jail. I want people to know what she did for me. I did NOT get arrested. Ambers counsel allowed me to maintain my dignity in a moment when I could have lost it. Shes that good. Thank you Amber.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

The best criminal and immigration lawyer that I could ever ask for.

Ms Amber Fuhriman was a beacon of hope to my spouse and I at a time when our options appeared to be none and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Before we hired Ms Fuhriman, we talked to several lawyers and they all said there was no chance for my spouse to be able to come ...back to the US after being sent back to his country, and much less to ever get a green card. Not only was she able to defend him from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and family. Thanks to Ms Amber my spouse is back in the country with me and he is now a legal resident of the USA. We are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms Amber Fuhriman without reservation. My name is Rodrigo, I am from Los Angeles, California.

Best Lawyer & Very Personable & Professional

I consulted with Ms Fuhriman about my case. She listened to my concerns and gave me very valuable advice. This was the second time I asked Ms Fuhriman for help. I received an unjust ticket and she was able to help me get it resolved. Thank You Ms Fuhriman - You are the Best

She's the BEST

I hired Ms. Fuhriman after I received a speeding ticket. She came highly recommended by several friends and now I see why. She was able to negotiate my ticket down so that I owed a fraction of the original charge and she did ALL of the work. I couldn't be more pleased with her professionalism and e...xpertise. A+

  • 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.
