Good results, communication could be better.

I entered into my representation with Johnson Hoskins with high expectations for a productive working relationship. At the outset, communication was timely and comprehensive. However, as the matter progressed, correspondence became increasingly infrequent. I often found myself relying on the clerk of... courts website to ascertain when filings occurred or to determine the outcomes of hearings, as updates were not provided directly. While the case ultimately reached a fair and satisfactory settlement, the prolonged lapses in communication created additional and avoidable stress in an already sensitive and high-pressure context. Greater consistency in client communication would have materially improved the overall experience.

Problem-solver!

Laura represented me on a protective order case regarding a domestic violence situation in Cherokee County. Her negotiation and problem-solving skills were always the focus of our conversations. From the beginning, Laura explained what the possible outcomes of the case could be and what I could expe...ct. She was always honest and forthcoming with information. I had her personal cell phone number, and I could call anytime I needed an update about my case. Not only did Laura give me advice, but the entire team at Meriwether and Tharp were there to help me from paralegals to senior attorneys. Laura’s strengths are patience and persistence. She listens to exactly what you want, and she will go after it. She is a problem-solving attorney, and she will negotiate with local judges, whom she knows well, on your behalf. Laura will be your personal advocate, and she is available by phone, email or in person to handle anything that comes up with grace and poise. The outcome was very close to what she explained would happen regarding the intricacies of my case. In the end, she was able to help me settle out of court and come to an agreement I was happy with. I highly recommend Laura if you are looking for an honest, hardworking and reliable attorney to help you through any stressful time you might be facing.

I highly recommend Laura Hoskins and Meriwether & Tharp!

I doubt anyone starts a divorce thinking they are going to trail. I know I didn't. When I first met with Laura I wanted a good attorney to represent my interest and help me negotiate a reasonable settlement with my ex. In the end my divorce was very complicated and stressful taking over 2.5 years ...to conclude at trial. From the beginning Laura did her best to negotiate a settlement with my ex. Throughout the negotiations Laura always had very detailed answers to my questions. I can tell you that Laura's recommendations and legal advice were always spot on, no matter how hard it was for me to hear sometimes. When issues became complicated, Laura would always take the time to explain what I needed and wanted to know. At mediation Laura aggressively defended me for 12 straight hours achieving a temporary agreement that was instrumental in winning the case at trial. I trusted Laura completely and would highly recommend anyone going through a similar situation to hire Laura as their attorney.

Made a difficult time as pleasurable as it could be

Laura was always timely, friendly, and patient while I was going through my divorce. She was candid in her legal advice, and that steered me into making the best decisions possible.

Laura has been wonderful!

My nightmare divorce has been going on for 4 1/2 years. Had an attorney for the first two but he withdrew because I ran out of money. So I've been on my own (pro se) for the rest of the time. I come to Avvo to ask a lot of questions to help me prepare. Laura has been one of my TOP "responders" and sh...e is SO incredibly supportive and encouraging. I feel empowered by her and I highly encourage anyone that is looking for an attorney to contact her. :)
