Laura French's Lawyer Endorsements
"Laura is bright, talented, dedicated, and energetic in all that she does. We have worked together on several matters and I would not hesitate to partner with her or refer clients to her in the future. Her experience in estate planning seems to be unmatched in our community, and she has the education (an LL.M. in taxation) to back her superior record. She also serves business clients extremely well in a variety of contexts. Laura's love and enthusiasm for her work are both obvious and contagious. It is a pleasure and honor to work with Laura, and I hope to do so regularly in the future."
