The best possible lawyer you could find!

I can't say enough about the services offered by Denise! She handled my child custody case with all that one would expect: grace in dealing with opposing counsel and the court, aggression when it came time to meet deadlines and push for what I was asking for, experience when it came to tough question...s and recommendations, and the most respectful communication between me and my family. Denise utilized her expertise to push for the things I needed and knew exactly how to navigate the court. I attempted to file the paperwork on my own and I stepped in it big time as a result! However, Denise and her legal team knew exactly what to do to rectify my mistakes and constantly had my back up until the trial. At points, the court did not swing our way, but Denise talked me through the entire process, easing all my worry and anxiety and rationalized even the most difficult decisions so that we got the best possible outcome. Even during the trial, which was highly nerve racking, Denise coached me on how to navigate questions comfortably and with ease. I loved Denise and her team and couldn't thank them enough throughout the process. I highly HIGHLY recommend talking with Denise and her team from not knowing what to do from the outset to trusting her completely to handle your case the way you'd like it to be handled. Denise, you're such a phenomenal lawyer! My family and I thank you tremendously for walking us through this insanely difficult process! -The Turpins

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!!

Great experience

Denise's guidance through the complexities of marriage dissolution and child custody issues was incredible. She was sensitive, creative and tenacious in her pursuit of resolution to a long and vicious divorce proceeding.
