Someone who actually advocates for you

I worked with her years ago during a long drawn out custody battle that involved abuse and an absent parent. Not only was she forthcoming in what was to be expected, she was kind and fiercely in my corner. She answered all of my questions and genuinely cared about my situation. I've not met many atto...rneys with genuine compassion. If you do get any empathy its usually because you're paying 450/hr for it. Not only would I use her again, I would strongly recommend her.

BEWARE

Terrible attorney no morals or ethics I should have definitely reported her to the disciplinary council. She tried to drop me as her client a few days before we went to court for a custody hearing but the judge did not allow her to do so due to such short notice. Due to this my daughter ended up with... her mother and mother’s boyfriend who was touching her inappropriately in which SVU had to get involved. Laura was also aware that this guy was on the most wanted list from law enforcement and it was not in my daughters best interest to be in the home with her mother. After wanting to no longer represent me Laura then had the nerve to try and send me a bill for payment after doing myself and my child a disservice. She is not the type of attorney you want to hire especially when your child’s livelihood is at risk. Laura has definitely did me and my family a disservice

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.
