Nice work on my case
Ms. Bighorse helped me with a back child support case that was on the verge of ruining my finances. Good results for me!

Great with military cases
I am in the armed forces and there were certain issues in my divorce case that were different because of that. She did a great job and got me and my kids out of a very bad situation with our lives still intact. She really cares for people.

Hard to get in touch with, wont return calls
Not a great communicator. Wont return calls or emails. Is not experienced, waste of money and time.
Amber Bighorse
Replied last March 10, 2017I am one of the few attorneys who provides access to ALL clients via cell phone. I am available to respond to text messages nearly all hours of the day, and I make every effort to respond to phone calls and emails within 24 hours. I've never had this complaint from clients - except one who I was in near constant contact with and who complained profusely when I didn't respond as quickly during a 5-day family vacation (although I responded to her every single day.) I feel like I go the extra mile to make communication a priority, and I will continue to develop innovative ways to make sure clients always feel connected and heard! As for my experience as an attorney, I've been licensed and practicing since 2008.

Thank you Amber!
She did a great job with my case and I'd definitely use her again. Hopefully I won't have too.

Wonderful
I am so thankful for Amber Bighorse. Amber is dedicated, highly skilled, and very knowledgeable. She was an attorney in Oklahoma before she came here and she has a very genuine, caring personality that seems rare for an attorney around here. Maybe it's an Oklahoma thing. She was genuinely invested in...
