Look elsewhere save your money and time

I hired atty Mullen for a divorce made many errors during entire process for an atty who has this many years of experience she was lacking in many areas her personality to start perhaps burnt out doing family law this many years and organization needs improvement spent 20 min handwriting her fees in...stead of having a handout prepared or any general paperwork of the divorce steps and process she talks to you with her lawyer lingo like I've been divorced many times before ! she will give you NO copies or any paperwork it's all emailed her legal advice was below average actually laughable thank goodness I didn't follow her advice the judge didn't even question challenge what I waived! Or what I wanted! she does change her advice not consistent she either forgets or she maybe too busy to give you the full attention to your case I wish I could say she was good or even refer her to anyone I can't , I'm sure there are many unhappy clients with her who haven't written a review I hope she treats her future clients with more professionislm than I got

I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with my services. I stand behind the solid legal advice I gave you based upon my many years of experience and vast knowledge of the divorce laws in this state. I understand that clients sometimes want to do things differently for various reasons, however, it is my job to inform you of the legal ramifications of your choices. The judge is not your attorney and does not give legal advice to litigants. I use email to correspond with clients because it is the most efficient form of communication (and also better for the environment). If you ever asked me for hard copies of documents, I would have provided them to you. I always treated you with courtesy and respect despite not receiving the same treatment from you. I sincerely hope that you find happiness in your future. I wish you and your son the best in life always. To anyone going through a divorce in Bristol County, MA reading this review: I encourage you to schedule a consultation with my office and decide for yourself. As you can see from the multiple reviews on this site from other clients and peers, this review is an outlier and not at all reflective of the services I provide. If you call to schedule a consultation on your divorce case and mention this review, I will waive the consultation fee for the next two months. Do not let one negative review dissuade you. Meet with me and decide for yourself. ~Laurie Mullen

Highly recommended phenomenal divorce attorney

Attorney Mullen is incredibly easy to talk to, explains everything in great detail, and made the entire process of going through a divorce less stressful. I truly felt that she cared about me and my situation and had my best interest at heart. Attorney Mullen is a true partner and is extremely resp...onsive to calls and emails. I would recommend her without hesitation.

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.
