What Makes Furubotten Law, APC Different
Furubotten Law, APC was founded by Denise Furubotten, Esq. — a California-licensed family law attorney with 30 years of practice experience, recognition by Lawyers of Distinction and the Elite Lawyers Award, and a published author in law practice management. Unlike large firms where clients are assigned to associates, or firms that use paralegals to handle day-to-day case management, our clients work directly with Denise at every stage of their case.
We serve clients throughout Southern California — Orange County from our Huntington Beach office, Southwest Riverside County from our Murrieta office, the South Bay from our Manhattan Beach office, and Los Angeles County from our Long Beach office. This geographic reach means we practice regularly in all the courthouses that matter most to our clients.
Court-Appointed Experience and Local Knowledge
Denise Furubotten is regularly appointed by Riverside County courts to represent children and adults in family law proceedings — a distinction earned through demonstrated competence and integrity that benefits all of our clients. We know our courthouses, our judges, and the local rules that affect outcomes in ways that out-of-county attorneys simply cannot match.
