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.

Custody and divorce

Laura did not help me understand anything about divorce or custody. She was very passive aggressive and unprofessional in the court room and to the other party. She was very rude, yells and rolls her eyes! I felt didn’t help guide me the right way. After reading these reviews she must of had people p...aid to write these reviews!

Not good with domestic violence victims

I had a nasty custody battle and divorce. I still do not feel educated on my rights at all. Ms. Brooks advised me to file a PFA, then advised me to drop it at the hearing (despite more acts of abuse and no contact violations in between) She completely misled me on “stipulation of dismissal and interi...m custody agreement”. My emotionally and physically abusive ex threw out marital property, stole checks, forged my name, and accused me of stealing from the home. She did not answer my questions and I was forced to sign another insurance check in court (at custody hearing) Ms. Brooks told me to sign it and it would be worked out in the ancillary hearing.. between the custody hearing and divorce pretrial she continually asked about the paperwork, but did not answer my questions regarding the fraud and how it would be worked out. She then filed a motion to drop me as a client days before the pretrial conference- since i didn’t send the papers back without my questions being answered- as I didn’t want to get screwed. So I was left at pretrial conference alone to defend myself against another attorney - who made it clear she & ms brooks discussed my case a lot during their personal relationship.. The worst of it all is that she forwarded my emails to my ex’s attorney without my consent. I believed i was speaking in confidence and my own emails to my lawyer were entered as evidence against me.. and had I known my ex would have seen it- i wouldn’t have sent it at all. That significantly strained the relationship as I wasn’t sure how to speak to her about anything anymore for fear of my ex. I made it clear I was trying to ensure I got full custody- at least primary residency, and specifically asked for a lawyer understanding narcissism and emotional abuse. I strongly advise a different attorney - especially if you are the victim of abuse.

Went the extra mile

Laura was my lawyer during two rounds of a horrible custody battle. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and concerns. She was very knowledgeable and able to navigate a very difficult situation with my ex husband with ease.
