High Asset Divorce Specialist Now Seeing New Clients

The Eagan, MN-based Amundson Law Office is pleased to share that they are now able to see new clients who wish to protect their high value assets in the event of a divorce. While any divorce can be a difficult process for all parties involved, it takes a true specialist to ensure that an individual’s financial interests receive the full protection they are due. Today, the Amundson Law Office is ready to step forward and place their considerable expertise in the hands of those in need of such legal aid.

Lisa Amundson of the Amundson Law Office takes a deep interest in high asset divorce proceedings as she is well aware of how important the associated items or property can be to a client. Minnesota Divorce Law offers some guidance regarding the division of property, but this may not be enough to ensure that each party’s worth is justly represented. This means that it often falls to the family law attorney overseeing the proceedings to carefully examine the particulars of a case and determine how best to secure their client’s financial interests.

However, the individuals pursuing the divorce also have a crucial role to play in its outcome. Given that an attorney is bound by both the limits of the law as well as the wishes of their client, it is beneficial for both parties in a divorce to accept that they need to work together to come up with a suitable compromise that suits them both.

Amundson states, “Both parties should seek to undergo a divorce with reasonable expectations regarding its outcome. Taking an inflexible position, such as refusing to give up any assets or seeking to strip the other party of everything they own, can actually be detrimental to a positive resolution. In many cases, this would only serve to prolong the case to an unnecessary degree, with fallout that often extends to their family as well as their finances. This is particularly true if there are children involved.”

As a prominent female divorce lawyer, Amundson takes a careful, measured approach to each high asset divorce case in order to uncover every relevant detail that may affect its eventual resolution. This includes each party’s financial situation previous to the divorce, their expected future earnings, the day to day needs of the parent who is tasked with providing for the children and much more.

“While we may encourage them to avoid conflict wherever possible,” Amundson clarifies, “we also encourage our clients to avoid accepting any proposed settlements too early. We have known many clients who have been ready to accept a settlement before they came to fully understand what it entails — and what assets it excluded that they may have otherwise been entitled to. This is one of the many reasons we encourage our community to seek professional legal aid if they wish to file for divorce.”

Certain divorce situations may also involve more complex circumstances, such as a family business, that require a much more comprehensive financial analysis to be carried out. Fortunately, Amundson and her firm respond to such cases by showing the opposing party how Minnesota Divorce and Property Division Laws apply to their situation. This helps ensure that their client’s best interests are taken into account without undermining divorce proceedings.

Lisa Amundson graduated cum laude from Saint Cloud State University and went on to receive her Juris Doctor degree (JD) from Hamline University’s law school in Saint Paul. She is currently a member of the Hennepin County Bar Association, the Dakota County Bar Association and the Minnesota State Bar Association. She is also a member of the Family Law section. Besides holding a JD, Amundson also chose to receive additional training in the family law sector as a Social Early Neutral Evaluator, a Financial Early Neutral Evaluator and a Rule 114 mediator.

Additionally, she has passed the State of Minnesota’s test to earn the right to sit as a Child Support Magistrate and is certified as a Guardian ad Litem for the State of Minnesota. In addition to taking on high value asset divorce cases, she has also made significant contributions to her community as a child custody and domestic abuse attorney, among other areas of family law. Her comprehensive knowledge of the field, combined with the fact that the firm often waives fees for initial consultations, makes her one of the best resources for any individual who needs guidance through complicated legal issues. She serves clients in the Dakota County area of Minnesota, primarily in the cities of Eagan, Burnsville and Apple Valley, and is known as one of the area's top female divorce lawyers.
