SO Happy!!!

I was very fortunate to have Laurie work with me. My ex-husband took me back to court, fairly unnecessarily. Laurie listened to me and heard everything I shared and every piece of proof I had, presented it perfectly to the court. Was honest with me telling me what was worth fighting for and what w...asn’t. She has an amazing understanding and knowledge of the law and the way the court works. Confident that I hired the best, and she had a genuine concern for what was right; and it happened. She definitely was part of the reason my case ended so well.

Amazing Attorney

I've had the honor of having Laurie Raphaelson as my attorney. Not only is she an exceptional attorney, but she is also a kind and compassionate person. She help guide me to make the best possible decisions for me and my children. She made it possible for me to build my life back up. In short, she's... a truly amazing person.

Attorney Laurie Raphaelson

I hired Attorney Raphaelson back in the fall of 2016. I felt comfortable with her right away. She was very sympathetic to my situation. I had the rug pulled out from under my feet. My whole world as I knew it crumbled before my eyes. Attorney Raphaelson is extremely knowledgeable about what happens ...in a divorce. She knew I was extremely scared and terribly vulnerable. She walked me through everything. My divorce dragged on and on. Attorney Raphaelson retired in January 2018. I was so sad to see her go. But she made sure I was in the right hands. She took me to meet Attorney Nick Plante. And he is everything she said. He was kind and extremely knowledgeable and like Attorney Raphaelson he treated me like a person and not just another client. I am so thankful that I met Attorney Raphaelson. She’s such a kind hearted person and really cares about people. I’ve been with Nick since 2018 and although I’m still not divorced Attorney Raphaelson put me in the right hands. I’m so happy that she is retired and on the next leg of her journey. But she will be misssed so very much. Good luck and enjoy Laurie. No one deserves this as much as you do.

Top notch

Attorney Laurie Raphaelson was a ray of hope at a time I was so despondent over health challenges and my husband leaving me after a thirteen year toxic marriage. I consulted with a few attorneys prior to Laurie; none of whom I felt comfortable with trusting my future. After I had consulted with Lau...rie several things stood out, most of all was her intuitiveness. Lawyer after lawyer advised me to file immediately. Laurie said the opposite. She agreed to represent me but would not right then because I was not ready. She was correct, I was a wreck mentally and physically. This was the most comforting advice I had received at this point. Several months later my now ex-husband filed and so the process began. Laurie is a force to be reckoned with on so many levels. An amazing attorney who consistently exceeded any and all expectations. Her guidance and knowledge of the law and court system proved to be unparalleled. She was the advocate I needed. Laurie was extremely responsive to my many inquiries and provided explanations in layman's terms. She was very patient and compassionate yet aggressive when necessary. Laurie was always direct, to the point and spot on. Her staggering ability to keep things in perspective, especially when delivering information I did not want to hear, was extremely beneficial. Her calm and confident presence allowed me to stay strong during such a difficult time. Laurie's empathetic demeanor offered emotional support during times it was very much needed. Her preparedness never ceased to amaze me. Her attention to detail, impeccable timing and no nonsense attitude allowed my divorce to not drag out and was resolved the day of my pretrial hearing. From day one I had all the trust and confidence that Laurie was an attorney of integrity who would always have my best interest at heart. It was a true honor to have been represented by such a fine attorney and person.

Beware

A Worcester Probate bottom feeder if ever there was one. Uses every opportunity to manipulate matters in such a way as to pad her fees & prolong the situation. Loves to talk endlessly about herself and then has the audacity to send you a bill for the time you had to waste listening to her.
