This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Honest, compassionate lawyer

Laurie was recommended to me by someone who holds her in high regards, and she lived up to her reputation. This was my first experience with hiring a lawyer, and I was not sure what to expect. From the first phone call, Laurie treated me like someone she already knew, and not just another client. She... had a real conversation with me, and got to know the details of my case and what I was dealing with on a personal level. Laurie knows how to treat clients like family, while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. She is honest and plays fair, which really shines through when up against slimy opponents with questionable and unethical tactics. Laurie worked hard and dedicated herself to winning my case, and held my hand through every surprise obstacle that arose. My faith in her abilities never wavered, and she helped me come out on top. If you want to win your case honestly, while having a friend at your side, Laurie is the perfect attorney for you!

Wonderful experience

Laurie is more then a lawyer she is a great friend. She puts her all into her clients. She is extremely knowledgeable. She has done so much for me, more then I could ever thank her for. I would and have recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Compassionate Lawyer Who Will Fight On Your Behalf

Laurie truly understands the details of my case. All correspondence sent and words spoken on my behalf have have been powerful and on point. Laurie represented me when I petitioned to have my existing custody order modified. She provided cases studies to support my position and left no stone untur...ned. All of the changes I requested were granted. I feel like we worked together as a team. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of lawyer.

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.
