A pleasure to work with on my business purchase...

I hired Laraine to work with me on purchasing a business. Laraine was incredibly supportive and responsive to my phone calls and emails. The guidance she provided me was always clear and concise. I never felt lost in "legalese" and the process was conducted in an efficient and timely manner. I pl...an on working with Laraine on my other endeavors as this is my first experience with an attorney who is caring, not only as a professional, but as a person.

Experience with Real Estate Process

I have never met a kinder, more respectful, efficient, organized and astute attorney in my time. She provided ongoing information through this very stressful process of purchasing a home, returned calls/responded to emails promptly, and was always "10 steps ahead," of us, helping us to keep informed ...through all steps of the process and feel better. I would highly recommend Laraine to anyone with confidence and know that you'll be in the very best of hands.

Top Notch Professional

We used Laraine's legal services for our immigration/citizenship procedure. She was a real pro and kept us in the loop every step of the way. We were able to contact her day or night with questions or concerns and the entire process went smoothly and seamlessly. If you need an attorney that will t...reat you like family, I highly recommend Laraine.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
