Laura Elizabeth Burrows

Ms. Burrows has a temper and while charming at times is frequently unable to control irritable outbursts and personal biases that can have serious consequences on your case in a collaborative or court-based environment. She is not thorough or careful in speech or conduct, and has mad ad hominem attac...ks on professional settings and in out of court negotiations. This behavior would be sanctioned if the same conduct appeared before a judge. Her conduct breaks court rules, she encouraged parties to file in court, w/ haste and flippantly, rather than focusing on ensuring costs were minimized for the needs of children. She regularly asserted incorrect statements of basic family law, regarding rules of admissible evidence under specific statutes. She has strayed far from several ethical requirements required of attorneys, including acting within the best interest of the children. This is especially dangerous for families of limited means with minor children.

I am so grateful to have found Laura Burrows to represent me through a divorce that ended up in court. Every step of the way, Laura helped me navigate through unchartered territory and I always believed that she had my best interest at heart. She is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. She f...ought hard for me to get a fair outcome in my case. I will continue to refer anyone who needs a family law attorney to Laura!

I was referred to Eric by a friend. He talked a lot and seemed to have a good head on his shoulders but when it came down to it, his lack of legal expertise and inability to negotiate have costed me tens of thousands of dollars that I can never get back. He couldn't tell a judge or me that child su...pport in MD for self-employed counts your income after reasonable expenses(something that took me about 10 minutes to look up after the fact) When my ex's attorney blocked my attempts to adjust child support in May of 2020 I sent Eric my tax returns and didn't hear back from him until October. His approach to negotiating was to give my ex everything she wanted and hope she goes away. I ended up getting stuck in a situation where I was being required to pay more in child support than I could possibly afford. Even though I came to a settlement with my ex to avoid contempt(Eric basically asked me how much money I could throw at her when it came down to it) my bank accounts still got locked. So I gave all my savings to my ex, got locked out of my bank accounts, then Eric hits me up to pay his bill and quits two weeks before our trial when I can't pay it. Meanwhile, no help from him with the bank accounts, child support, or negotiating any kind of reasonable settlement with my ex.

Laura, Eric and their entire team were extremely professional, respectful and helpful throughout a very difficult custody battle I was involved in. Always responsive, they made sure to keep me feeling comfortable when things seemed to be going pretty badly. Many people think that the court system fav...ors the mother however, Laura and her team proved that to be false. Without them, I am not sure where I would be today in regards to custody of my child. I would 100% refer them to anyone looking for a family attorney.
