The whole Bagwell holt team is amazing. The first time I met Laura she made me feel comfortable, I was able to talk freely she is very easy to talk to she gets to the point and gives amazing suggestions. I counted on her with my situation and she provided everything I needed to have a smooth case. on...e thing I really appreciate about her was she was able to respond so quickly with an detailed response. I thank her and her entire team for doining a truly amazing job on my case. If you ever find yourself in a family situation where you need a lawyer I highly recommend Laura Kastner.

Professional, Effective and Caring!

Laura Kastner was one of the lawyers who represented me in a difficult custody case. She is very professional, responsive and caring! Some lawyers only see clients as dollar signs, but Laura is not among those. She really, really cares and wants to make the process as painless as possible. Every time... I had a question, she was there for me. She has a very professional demeanor and she is intelligent and kind. You don't get that from most lawyers, and she really, really fought for me! I have recommended her team to other people in similar situations and I will continue to do so. Custody and family issues can be extremely difficult, but with Laura on your side, you will have someone who is truly concerned, invested and professional. I very highly recommend her to anyone facing family legal challenges!

Dedicated and detail-oriented

Laura Kastner is an exceptional attorney. I have found her to be knowledgeable, empathetic, dedicated, and detail-oriented. She did extensive research for my nontraditional case. Most importantly, she took it on with gusto and did not shy away from the complexity of the matter. She listened to me... closely about the details of my case and therefore was able to offer an appropriate legal response. Ms. Kastner is an excellent choice of attorney who is committed to helping people fight for those most important to them, their children.

Atty. Laura Kastner

I found her very warm, caring and just so light to talk to which i believe is very important when dealing with family affairs. Everytime i had a question, she tried to answer them immediately setting any doubts or fears to rest. I would definitely recommend her to anybody who will be in need of a law...yer in this specialization. I was very satisfied working with her on my case.
