I found Laura through referral from an experienced and highly regarding mediator. She was their answer when I asked them, who they would hire for a difficult custody situation. I share custody with a malicious co-parent. Laura remained even keeled, civil, and strategic through a nasty multiyear p...rocess involving layered issues across multiple jurisdictions and appeals. Laura was a good advisor to me about realistic outcomes and fought hard to get them. She was performant inside and outside the courtroom. In the end she was able to accomplish a fair and reasonable outcome. One that was likely the best possible given the counterparty. I'd used 3 other attorney's prior to working with Laura. Laura's work outside and in the courtroom was the best I saw. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Our family is better off for having her involved.

MDMB and Laura Dove in particular, represented me in a complicated divorce and custody case in Arlington county Court. I found her through a good friend. Laura is a very professional, experienced lawyer, with extreme attention to details, an unbelievable memory, and excellent litigation skills. Alw...ays on top of the game! Case preparation, deposition, discovery, all-day hearings, you name it. She is well-respected by colleagues and judges (we had hearings with at least 4 of them). She truly loves what she is doing! I highly, highly recommend her. Just make sure to take notes and follow her advice! Good luck!

Laura worked closely with me on my case and helped me get everything I needed for me and my kids. She was very responsive to my concerns and questions and really looked out for me. She let me know when I could do things to keep my costs down and also assigned some stuff to other people so that I go...t billed at a lower rate. If you want someone who will care about you and protecting your kids you should hire her!
