Excellent divorce attorney

The first hour of consultation with Ms. Mullen I felt comfortable and confident that she was the best choice for me. I have never regretted this decision. Ms. Mullen put me at ease she was able to explain complicated legal issues in a language that is easily understood. She is very reliable, every... time I had a question or concern she has personally returned my phone calls or emails in a timely fashion. She's a very knowledgeable and experienced attorney. The strategy that she has worked out for my case, and her skills in court negotiating with the other attorney has given me the result better than I could hope for. If ever in the future I need legal representation I would turn to Ms. Mullen for guidance. I would definitely recommend her as a great divorce attorney, especially for cases involving child custody.

Attorney for Divorce?Child Support

Competent, Professional, Prepared and Knowledgeable. I went from paying support to receiving support for a minor child that resided with me. She waste no time, money and plays no games. If you need legal assistance, don't rely on a friend of a friend or someone who talks a good game. (that's exa...ctly what I did and it hurt and delayed my case) . Attorney Mullen explained my case, my rights and walked me through the process the entire way. Don't waste time or money with anyone else, get it right the first time.

Excellent Divorce Case Litigator

I first met with Laurie to discuss my pending divorce. (Laurie also handles divorce mediation but my ex-spouse was not interested in going that route. I would highly recommend mediation over litigation if is at all possible as I believe my case could have been resolved with pretty much the same outco...me at a far lower cost.) This was my first divorce so I had very little knowledge in this area. Laurie explained the process in detail in a very straightforward way and gave me a good idea how the process worked and what I could expect. I hired Laurie to handle my divorce case and she did an excellent job. She worked hard to make sure my interests were well represented and made sure I received a fair settlement. She always responded promptly and thoroughly to my calls and emails. She was very knowledgeable and provided valuable advice to help settle the case without having to go to trial. In my opinion, the biggest challenge in this type of case is to reach consensus where you and your ex-spouse can agree (and meet the legal requirements of course) and I believe Laurie did as much as humanly possible to get there as quickly as possible. The other lawyer tended to put things off and drag things out so Laurie did more than the lion's share of paperwork (including drafting a separation agreement) to keep things moving as much as possible. I am very pleased with Laurie's services and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Appreciate Laurie's excellent representation

We have had the privilege of retaining Laurie as our attorney for over 20 years. She provides us with legal advise, creates legal documents on our behalf, while addressing any questions or legal issues we may pose to her. Laurie is very professional, bright, and personable. She also responds to our i...nquiries in a timely fashion. Though we have had no reason to go to court, we wouldn’t hesitate to have Laurie represent us should such a situation arise. We have referred family members and friends to Laurie, and encourage anyone looking for legal assistance to contact Laurie Mullen as soon as needed.

great divorce lawyer

I went through a very difficult time with my divorce. Laurie was excellent through the whole process. Even after my divorce was complete, she assisted me with some other issues that occured afterwards. Laurie is a very knowledgeable, caring, efficient and effective lawyer.
