This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Pleased with Laura's help

I am going through a separation/divorce. Laura patiently explained what I needed to know and took the time to find out what my needs and wants were going to be. She responded promptly when I had questions. I am pleased with the wording of the separation agreement that she drew up for me and she has ...helped give me confidence through this uncomfortable chapter.

I felt that my wife's attorney was working to drive a wedge between us and make a agreement more difficult, but this attorney was able to bring about an agreement with her common sense approach and a easy demea...nor.

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.
