Worth every penny, and more!

I will never forget how Denise fought for me through my custody case. She’s an absolute gem of an attorney. I don’t know any other way to say it. She was a total badass in the courtroom too! I was truly concerned about my ex’s ability to be extremely good at fabricating lies throughout our trial ...but Denise is a Jedi master at combating the opposing counsel. That professional liar never stood a chance with her at the helm. She took them down at every turn. I felt such a sense of relief after I saw her do her job with such poise & effortless professionalism. I was blown away. She’s that good. And it always hurts a little less spending $100’s of $1,000’s of dollars for a service, when you KNOW you’re getting top tier quality performance. Nobody ever wants to end up needing an attorney but if you do, you won’t be sorry you hired Denise. I’d put my money on her every time. She’s experienced, incredibly knowledgeable, caring & honest. It’s a testament to her character to hear someone say they will genuinely miss her after going through one of the most grueling hellish life experiences they’ve ever faced with her. She exceeded every expectation I had then some. I would highly recommend the Furubotten Law firm!

Communicative, proactive, and listens to me

Ms. Furubotten has been a great asset in my divorce case. She has always clearly explained to me next steps, info needed from me, hearing dates/times, possible outcomes and general information about the laws related to my case. She has respected my wishes on how I wanted to handle certain aspects of ...my case, sometimes against her advice, and has worked with me to direct the case management. She listens to me and understands my viewpoints. She is non-judgemental and has worked diligently to get the best outcome for my case. Her years of experience have been a great help in that she has been able to anticipate next steps by opposing council and we have been able to respond quickly or proactively file necessary paperwork. She is empathetic yet can be tough and strong when needed. I'm glad to have her in my corner.

Straight Shooter with Upfront Pricing.

Denise Furubotten has been practicing family law for 26 years and is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She takes into account whether a decision/motion is worth the clients’ funds and is straight forward about it. So far I’m pleased with how my case is going.

GREAT....GETS RESULTS

Denise and I worked on a multi-state divorce wherein the other side was trying to take everything from the husband. While working with Denise I quickly found out she was very smart and cared about her clients. She out lawyered the other side and won the case. Wife who wanted everything go nothing.... Denise is TOUGH and VERY SMART.

I'm a Happy, Happy Client

I was referred to Denise Furubotten by a friend as I did not know any good Family Law attorneys in California. I went to meet her at the Huntington Beach office. The office was very professional, the staff was courteous and it was easy to find. Within minutes of discussing our situation, it was ev...ident that I was in the right place. Their experience with Family Law is unparalleled. They were able to assess our situation, design a plan to follow and immediately support us in executing that plan. I felt very protected and confident that Denise was going to turn my unfortunate situation into something positive :) I would give Denise Furubotten my highest recommendation!!
