I can't imagine having any other lawyer

Laura is the best, beyond helpful, and sincere. I would have certainly been lost without her. My custody case was very stressful and painful to say the least. She advised me properly and pretty much held my hand through the whole process. To say that I'm grateful is an understatement. Thanks again La...ura, sincerely!

I retained Laura to assist with a complicated multi-state PFA and Custody Hearing. Laura is an excellent attorney who is very competent and compassionate. As with most Family Court matters the issues surrounding my case are/were sensitive and very emotional. While the custody matter is scheduled fo...r mid April, Laura worked with co-counsel in NY to successfully petition the NY Family Court to order the custody matter be heard in Delaware. Laura was also successful in arguing for the dismissal of a PFA filed in Delaware. I would highly recommend Laura as she is a thorough communicator, attentive listener and superior legal strategist. Laura is honest, responsive and after every interaction I am left feeling that Laura genuinely cares about me as a person and parent. Throughout what has felt like the "fight of my life", Laura has remained focused, positive and incredibly supportive. Having held several positions in the Family Court prior to being admitted to the Delaware Bar, Laura has develop lasting and mutually respectful relationships with seemingly everyone in Family Court. I highly recommend Laura!!!

Great lawyer!!!

I hired Laura to help with a bitter divorce and a nearly year-long custody battle after a 20 year marriage. It was one of the most distressing times in my life and I truly felt that not only did I have a knowledgable lawyer but someone who truly was a ally and an advocate for my teenaged children. Sh...e genuinely cared about us and our future.

My darkest days

I was a broken man after I found out about my wife cheating and stealing my identity. I was homeless my credit was shot and to top it all off my children were taken from me. Hiring Laura was the best decision in my life, I moved in with my sister and Laura fought right away on getting my children bac...k into their fathers arms. Everytime my ex filed a new motion ( which was all the time), Laura fought back with true class. I can honestly say I don’t want to imagine where I’d be if I never walked into her office. She literally saved me, and for that I will always be in her debt.

Extraordinary Lawyer

I am a Principal and loving parent of three. Several years ago, I set up a mediation with Mrs. Brooks through Avvo to review my case. It was by far the best decision I have ever made for myself and the welfare of my children. Mrs. Brooks was very knowledgeable about all aspects of my case and the ...law. In addition, she listened to my concerns and it was evident she cared. One of the things I respected most about Mrs. Brooks is her honesty. She painted a very realistic picture for me once all information was presented, and provided sound advice in moving forward with my proceedings. Mrs. Brooks went above and beyond for me and my children, answering question after question, as well as availing herself outside of business hours. Once my case went to trial, Mrs. Brooks did a magnificent job translating my concerns, my dedication as an active father, and requests in being able to lawfully obtain more time with my children. As a result of Mrs. Brooks’ hard work and expertise, I now have equal time in joint custody of my children, and we are doing amazing. There is no doubt in my mind that this would not be possible had I not been recommended to Mrs. Brooks. I would like to formally say thank you to Laura on behalf of myself and my children. You have truly been a blessing to us, and I am extremely pleased to know someone of your integrity and expertise is fighting for fathers like me. Thank you again!
