NO ONE COMPARES!! Laurie and team continuously exceed all expectations and define true excellence!

Laurie and her team have and continue to fight tirelessly in my case. Their expertise and willingness to seek out all resources needed to be informed in the highest degree have guaranteed the highest level of detail paid to my case. I never have to wonder where my case currently stands, as the open... and frequent communication between her, her team and myself is exemplary. Laurie's combination of a medical and legal background give her a definite advantage in understanding her client's cases that goes unmatched by other attorneys I have worked with, and I am thankful to have her on my side!

Professional - Meticulous - Conscientious - Caring - Advocate

When we started our search for an attorney to handle our case, we almost immediately focused on Ms. Amell and her strong record of accomplishments in personal injury law. Ms. Amell’s in-depth knowledge of the both medical and legal matters was equally impressive. Additionally, we were awed by her sy...stematic approach in preparation of my case. Laurie and her team have conducted an exhaustive amount of research on our case and they’ve done a great job in interacting with the various physicians that have been treating me for the last few years as a direct result of my accident. The team’s comprehensive attention to detail has been fascinating to witness. In addition to the massive amount of hard work that was organized for our case, I found Ms. Amell and her team happy to spend a thoughtful and considerate amount of time keeping us informed about our case. The compassion and encouragement shown to our family during this difficult time is truly treasured.

Amazing Attorney!

Laurie Amell is an amazing attorney with an incredible team and we are thrilled with their representation! Laurie is very intelligent, intuitive and listens to us intently. She and her staff always ensure that we are kept informed at every step by communicating with us on a very regular basis. Lau...rie and her staff are always just a phone call away to answer any question that I may have which greatly helps to alleviate the anxiety we have as a result of the medical injury. I do not know where we would be without Laurie and her team!

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.
