Posted by David and Pegeen | September 27, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Family

We are so appreciative that Laurie represented our daughter!

When your child undergoes an emotionally challenging ordeal such as a divorce, parents often experience a sense of helplessness. In our case it was the hope that our daughter would be represented by competent counsel exhibiting tenacity when required yet empathy and compassion when warranted. We were... extremely fortunate when Laurie Mullen was recommended to us. During our initial consultation, she alleviated much of our anxiety and we were made confident she would represent our daughter’s best interests. Throughout this overwhelming process she was both professional and tenacious in her efforts and supportive as family in her demeanor. As parents we are profoundly grateful for her expertise and guidance in support of our daughter. Due to her proficiency in family law and her temperament in negotiations in this recent domestic matter, we enthusiastically and without reservation recommend the law office of Laurie P. Mullen Esq.

Clear, honest, and fair.

Laurie was open and honest about what to expect from day one. I fully understood what was expected of me moving through the process of divorce. She fully recognizes that it is so difficult for people to travel this road but never let me get stuck. She provided solid guidance but left the decision-m...aking to me. When I was making decisions that may not be the best for me in the long run she was clear that I could do that but also outlined the impact those decisions might have. Laurie was also very respectful of coming at this in a collaborative and non-confrontational manner with my ex and their lawyer. I was very concerned about drama and this manner decreased the risk of that. (she was very well prepared to stand up and move to litigation and press some points should it have become necessary) Can't express how grateful I am to her.

First-rate family lawyer

Attorney Mullen represented me when I went through my divorce a few years ago. She is an extremely savvy attorney, looked out for my bests interests and guided and helped me through the very difficult process. I would recommend Attorney Mullen to anyone in need of a first-rate family lawyer.

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.

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.
