True Advocate

I hired Laurie to be my Divorce Attorney. She worked hard to ensure my settlement was fair and practical. She is very knowledgeable and is strategic in her planning. I felt she was truly and advocate for me and would recommend her in the future.

Knowledgeable and well prepared

I found Attorney Mullen to be a very knowledgeable attorney. I interviewed several other attorneys before choosing her and I am so pleased with my choice! She was able to answer all of my questions and I found her calm approach very reassuring. When we went to Court I could see that she was well k...nown and well respected by the Court staff and the Judge. Excellent attorney!

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.

Highly Recommended

My previous attorney for family / child support case dropped the ball. With it being a very stressful time I needed to find someone that I could depend on and trust. Laurie not only did that but fought tooth and nail on my behalf even when I could not be present in court. I live out of state and she ...communicated with me throughout the whole process. Laurie will represent you with the highest of standards and will fight for the best outcome for you. If I ever need an attorney again I will not hesitate to call her.

Mediation Recommendation

Attorney Mullen was very helpful during an extremely stressful time in our lives. She was very professional, courteous and made the mediation process very clear and understandable for us. Her explanation of what would happen in the court system was spot on and reassuring also.
