Highly Recommended Cream Of The Crop

Laura is extremely knowledgeable and answered every question I had concerning my case no matter how dumb or insignificant I thought it was. She responds promptly even though she has many other cases she's working on. Honestly she treated me as a friend and not like a client. Her prices are extremely ...reasonable. I shopped around for family court lawyers and they wanted triple the price of her retainer fee. She was Highly recommended from other lawyers that were not available to take my case. I was not paid for this review or have any other incentives to write this review. I Honestly want any potential clients who wants a caring, competent, reasonably priced lawyer to know she is the cream of the crop. If I could give her one hundred stars I would!!!!!

Best representation imaginable-Highly recommended for Child Custody

Laura represented me for over 6 years of a nightmare custody battle that would not have been tolerable without her professionalism and support. She was referred to me by a coworker whose fiance worked at the court house. Her fiance said that she is the number one attorney for custody cases and that... everyone in the court house knows how great she is. This statement could not be more accurate. Her expertise, knowledge and overall passion for her clients, the child involved and the outcomes is admirable. From my very first interaction with Laura she was transparent and beyond empathetic to my situation. She cares deeply about her clients and I never doubted that she had my best interest throughout the entire court battle. Laura had amazing follow up and communication. She was quick to respond to my emails, phone calls or text messages. She kept me and my husband informed every step of the way. We knew when motions were filed and documents were submitted. We were always aware of the costs associated and the billing of her time and custody activities was always clear and specific to whatever charges were assessed. Laura was accessible to both myself and my husband for advice on issues that would constantly come up from emails or texts from my sons father. She would provide counsel and communicate with the attorney of my ex to ensure that court orders were being followed. Laura not only gave advice on every situation that we encountered but helped us to navigate through the legalities and ensured that we were always doing the best thing for my son. In the court room Laura is passionate and diligent. She is prepared for anything and carries herself gracefully but with drive and commitment to ensure that her clients case is delivered with the facts and supported with the proper documentation. She does not allow her clients to take the stand without feeling confident in her abilities to represent them. Laura speaks eloquently and is well educated in custody laws and guidelines. Laura is committed to providing the best outcomes and works so hard to make sure that the facts and truth are always clear when she presents your case. Laura does not allow a challenging situation or her personal opinions to get in the way of her court room execution. She knows how to present every aspect of the case and highlights the most important issues. She does not get thrown off by opposing counsel and can speak confidently to the best interest of a child as that is what was most important to me throughout the entire battle. It is because of Laura and her drive and commitment to me and my family that we won our fight and my son is now where he belongs. I cannot imagine working with any other attorney. We will forever recommend and endorse Laura for her services, professionalism and personal drive to help others.

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!

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!
