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.

Family Law

Legal Services: PFA Defense, Divorce, Child Custody: There's not enough great words that I could type to express my sincere appreciation for Laura's ability to help me navigate through the most difficult time of my life. She has been there every step of the way and she's very responsive. She does not... give you false hopes or false expectations but fights extremely hard for you. It's important to be honest with her in all matters to ensure you have the best outcome. Laura is passionate about what she does and has an excellent reputation. I was referred to Laura by another law firm that did not have any availability and it was the best thing that happened for me. There's no other lawyer that would have been able to do what she has done for my daughter and I. I still have a few hearings left but I'm extremely grateful for everything she has done. The best part is knowing that I have a lawyer that I can trust and who genuinely wants the best for me. If you're in need of family law services, please reach do not hesitate to schedule a consult with Laura.

Supportive, reliable advocate

I am forever grateful for the continued exceptional service I receive from my attorney. From the very first moment I met her, she has been nothing but compassionate and professional, and she truly listens to my concerns. She shows genuine care for my children and guides decisions that are in their be...st interest. She guides me through every step of the process and keeps me informed every step of the way. I always feel supported, and her attention to detail gives me peace of mind during such a difficult time. I could not ask for a better advocate. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated attorney!

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

Too busy to give my case what it needed

You may want to pay attention to the most recent reviews because I had a similar experience with her for a custody case. Best advice I could give her…please get a paralegal! It was tough having to chase her down to get answers to my emails and, all the while, she never explained the process or her st...rategy. She seems very capable but overextended trying to do it all by herself. All I cared about was my case and that didn’t get much priority, so there were dropped balls throughout or things I had to be on top of with her. Because I had to learn by experience (rather than by being educated), there are some things I will handle very differently now that I know better.
