Professional & Supportive

Laurie helped me through a difficult case with my ex-husband, and was extremely supportive and professional throughout the situation. She was always there for me with advice and guidance when I needed to make some hard decisions. I would highly recommend Laurie and her team; you won't be disappoint...ed.

Was available last minute and provided phenomenal support

We contacted Laurie for a last minute, next day need. She listened to us, said she could help, and was with us in court the next day! Not only was she there and prepared for the emergency custody trial, she was phenomenal! This was a really scary situation and we weren’t sure how it would turn out. L...aurie was honest with us about the all possibilities but assured us that everything would work out in the end (based on our situation and surrounding circumstances, she had a very good idea where things would go). She was able to get our kids back home with their mom, arranged a temporary custody agreement, and is helping us set up a permanent agreement. We felt confident in Laurie’s ability to handle our case and, even though it was a traumatic experience, we are grateful to have had Laurie and her team on our side.

Wish I'd hired them sooner!

I hired Steffani Langston from Laurie Wasserman's office for a consult to review my documents about a week before my divorce hearing. I suspected that I had received some colossally bad advice from a previous attorney, and wanted to make sure I had all the facts before my hearing. Steffani confirme...d what I believed about my previous experience. But I am so relieved that I met with Steffani. She walked me through all my documents line by line and explained everything, then pointed out where there were issues. She was a tremendous help in explaining how to resolve the issues, and what my rights were. She talked me through what to expect in the hearing, and how I should handle it. I felt completely prepared at the hearing, and was thrilled that I had resolved the remaining issues with the agreement in order to receive my divorce decree. Steffani was absolutely wonderful, compassionate and kind. I can't thank her enough, and highly recommend the attorneys at Laurie Wasserman's firm. I wish I'd met with them first, and saved myself a lot of headaches and frustration. They are the best!

Top Notch Experience

Emily and Laurie provided an exemplary service and experience through a traumatic and difficult custody process. They both made my options very clear and the steps needed to display the best circumstances for my hearing. They kept me updated on all aspects of the case and their office assistant, Bria...na, was very timely in providing any court notices or scheduling time with Emily and Laurie. Everyone I encountered at the office (i.e. Emily, Laurie, Stephanie, and Briana) were very personable and professional, which made me believe I was in good hands. Hopefully, I will never need their services again, but I would certainly use this law firm once more and highly recommend.

Fierce, fearless, empathetic advocate

I've worked with Laurie quite a bit over the past couple of years as she helped me navigate a long custody challenge. Even when things have been really hard, I'm always confident knowing she has my back. She is well connected and respected throughout Baltimore County and is so knowledgable about fami...ly law. She brings a unique mix of fearlessness, ferocity and empathy to her practice. She's always strong and decisive, but listens with true compassion. I recommend her without reservation to any family navigating challenging legal matters that wants to protect their children's best interest.

Avvo Rating

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.
