Amy is not only very thorough, very attentive & smart, she is caring. She makes you feel as if you are her only client. She is not distracted nor does she “push you through”.

Amy was very thorough and extremely helpful in advising me with every aspect of my case. I felt as though she was concerned about not only my wellbeing but also that of my children. She was always happy to return my calls or meet with me when I reached out (in addition to our scheduled appointments). She’s Sharp!

Hired Attorney

She was great 7 years ago-- worth every penny of $300/hr. Now, she seems off her game. I feel like she was focused on something other than my best interest. Let me say this, mediation was to accomplish something, not serve as a venue for my ex to "be heard." By the time is was over, I was wondering why she hadn't stopped it. I thought there must be some major angle being slowly worked on. It feels like I paid thousands for a counseling session for my ex-wife. I lost my confidence in her.

Hired Attorney

Atty Amundsen was very uncaring and did not care about much of anything except the money. She did not care about the child only my assets. Did not work me during the divorce. Please think before you hire Amy Amundson, she looking out for herself.

Hired Attorney

She was a terrible attorney for my divorce. She has no clue about children and their needs. My ex is a deadbeat. Amy just wanted her fee. She didn’t care at all about my children or me.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
