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 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.

Laura Burrows was my attorney that helped me through my divorce in the summer of 2015. She was very professional while also being candidate and considerate. Laura helped me see options that I didn't know existed and strived for excellence at every step of the process. Laura always held me and my 13 y...ear old son as top priority when discussing our case and options for the best possible results. She is an excellent lawyer that I would (and do) recommend. I have told several people that you should have Laura Burrows as your divorce attorney if you want the best outcome to a difficult time in your life. Her staff is always attentive and there aren't any stupid or bad questions that she or her staff won't take the time to answer. It is was a terrible time that I experienced going through my divorce but with the help and guidance of Laura I was able to take control of the situation. She helped me focus on what needed to get accomplished as well as give me advice on what not to do. When you work with Laura and her staff she empowers you when you may feel lost or spinning out of control. I believe I am happy today because of Laura's thoroughness and expertise she provided for me during the while divorce process.
