Laura Holland Sclafani

I have nothing but good things to say about this firm. Everyone I dealt with was responsive and pleasant. My attorney, Laura Sclafani, was extremely detail oriented and responsive. She went above and beyond to help me and get my case completed. Would recommend without hesitation.

My ex-husband opened a case and served me with papers to lower his child support. I was scared about how this would effect my financial situation and my child but also about the whole process. Laura was honest. She told me things I needed to hear, not just what I wanted to hear. She was thoughtful about my financial situation but also caring and supportive of my desires to keep the process amicable. She was thoughtful and thorough. I must be honest, I didn't get to keep as much child support as I wanted, but I also didn't lose as much as I could have. This is a win, in my book. She gave me truthful advice about the compromise my ex and I came to during mediation and was fully transparent about my options and the risks. I feel that I was informed and fully taken care of through this process.

I cannot say enough good things about Laura and everyone I had the pleasure to work with at Smith & Files these past few months. Their office came recommended to me by the co-worker of my now ex-wife (Gasp!), and I am so glad I chose them. Laura and Sandra in particular were so understanding and patient with me during the whole divorce process. They took the time to get to know me and my situation and they explained everything to me about the divorce process and what to expect (I must admit it took multiple explanations in some cases---that’s where their patience became very apparent). And they kept me grounded during what was without a doubt the most difficult life event I have ever gone through. While I do not anticipate having to call Laura again for *divorce* counsel (since I do not planning on getting *divorced* again), I will most definitely be calling on her for the pre-nuptual planning when I do decide to get married again.

Laura’s extensive knowledge of family law and her quick ability to site related cases is the only reason we won my 25 year old contempt of court dispute from my 1994 divorce. Laura outsmarted everything his attorney argued. She even set up an income deduction order for me. I never have to deal with this again. Sandy and Stephanie, Laura’s legal team are very responsive, quick turnaround time. This team is so fortunate to have Sandy. She gave me a sense of peace during the entire process.

Laura was a fierce advocate for me when I was returning to court regarding child support. She spent extra time driving and dealing with the courts in the pandemic while things were more difficult. Laura responded promptly to any questions i had and was always thorough in her explanations of the process. She snd her entire team offered excellent customer service!

I hired Laura to represent me in a custody modification case. She was supportive and honest with me about what would be the best course of action. I would highly recommend Laura to someone who has questions about family law.

Laura was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind during my consultation. She was caring and very kind while I was going through a very hard time. She is knowledgeable and helpful during the whole process. I truly appreciate her and would highly recommend her.

Laura Sclafani handled my son's name change and she was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. She was very quick on her feet and made everything very easy for us during an extremely difficult time. She handled everything in a very efficient and timely manner. Despite the complications that arose due to the Coronavirus, Ms. Sclafani was able to get our case approved virtually and completed 5 days earlier than our original projected court date. Her hardwork and dedication to our case means so much to our family and we can not recommend Laura and her firm enough!

Laura was sensitive, kind and efficient when resolving my divorce. As a woman coming out of a marriage with complex and tender emotional circumstances - I appreciated Laura's diligence in fighting for my best interest financially, as a well as my best interest emotionally. Throughout the entire process I was confident in her abilities an attorney and generally decency as a human being. Thank you!

I just wanted to my satisfaction with work done on my case. Specifically I'd like to comment on how you Laura was able to jump in and represent me with an effective level of detail and understanding of a quite contentious situation that had persisted for some time. I am generally not one to place online reviews, but I would highly recommend her legal services.
