Transition Agreement

After receiving an unexpected job elimination, I was given a separation agreement and given the standard 21-days to sign and accept. When I reached out to Laurie's firm, she immediately began communicating with me about her experience with these matters, and emailed me her rate and how she works so t...hat we could begin working quickly. Since my case involved retirement benefits she did her own research on issues that may have been involved. I told Laurie what I wanted and she was able to successfully negotiate on my behalf for a better-than-offered agreement. While this was a very stressful time for me, she really kept me informed on the progress of the case. I would recommend Laurie Morrison to anyone who needs resolution of issues involving employment.

Laurie Rocks!

Laurie did an awesome job in getting a resolution for my case. She was the silver lining around the dark cloud for me. Laurie is a professional and I had total confidence in her abilities to represent me. I would totally use her again and highly recommend her services.

Employer/Employee.

I am happy I selected Laurie to represent me in a difficult employment related matter. She was engaged and advocated fiercely for me. Employee/ Employer matters are not always straightforward, but having a good lawyer to advocate for you is a game changer. I highly recommend Laurie Morrison.

Discrimination lawyer | Feb 11

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Laurie is an exceptional litigator and among the best employment lawyers I know. Laurie thoroughly works each case through, early on correctly values her matters, and then executes on her strategy. Defense counsel either know or quickly learn that if Laurie is pursuing a case, it means significant liability for their clients. Laurie also has an astounding volume of knowledge the laws regulating the employee-employer relationship and other. Other lawyers in the field frequently seek her out her advice. Several years ago, I worked with Laurie on a matter involving discrimination. Throughout the case, Laurie was extremely well-prepared, but also willing to collaborate and adjust to case developments. In the end, we achieved a great result for the client. I could not recommend Laurie more."

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.
