Settlement agreement and divorce

I hired Laura D’Orsi to handle my uncontested divorce. She prepared a settlement agreement according to the terms my ex-husband and I had already worked out, while ensuring that my interests were looked after. This allowed the divorce to be finalized quickly, while keeping the cost down. Laura and h...er office staff were a pleasure to work with and all aspects of my case were handled professionally.

Everything I could of hoped for and MORE!

I could not have asked for a better outcome in my case. Laura did exceptional work with my case and I couldn't be more thankful for that. I felt very welcomed by her and her staff from the moment I first met them. Laura is very knowledgeable and realistic throughout the entire process; she always an...swered all of my questions and was able to put my mind at ease with matters that I was nervous about or unsure of. I am truly thankful to have met such an outstanding and professional person.

Divorce

Laura and her staff handled my divorce. I felt cared for and counseled in such a professional way. Every phone call and email I made was answered immediately. I am so grateful I chose Laura.

Highly recommended!

I hired Laura in 2014 to handle my financial issues with my ex-husband after my divorce. She handled the case with such ease, & confidence to get what I wanted without the stress on me and I was able to focus on my job and my children. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a divorce atto...rney.

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.
