Challenging military divorce case
Laurel went above and beyond for me during 2 of the most difficult years of my life. She kept me level headed but fought hard when it was needed. My ex was a military member which needs additional knowledge to ensure things are processed correctly. I would highly recommend Ms Tesmer.

Very Professional, High Energy, Results Driven
From beginning to end, Laurel provided exceptional first class service. Through our times in the courtroom, she exemplified high energy and enthusiam to address our concerns, voice her opinions while presented a strong foundation of facts to win our case. Through her expertise and high caliber results driven attitude, our case received a higher than expected monetary award and ultimately brought a significant increase in our long term return on investment. I would highly recommend anyone seeking representation to contact Attorney Laurel Tesmer!

Outstanding Family Attorney
When I went to see Laurel for the first time, I went with a unique set of circumstances. Laurel was very patience, understanding and walked me through everything until I felt comfortable. She went above and beyond to make sure that all the "bases were covered" and nothing was missed along the way. Divorce is an extremely hard process, physically and emotionally, and Laurel helped me get through it all. One of the things I appreciated the most is she was always straight with me. While I hope no person ever has to go through a divorce, if you find yourself in that place, I would highly recommend Laurel.

I wouldn't go to anyone else for legal matters
Laurel was absolutely wonderful in handling my recent case. I trust her to handle all my legal needs. She took all of the guess work out of Bankruptcy for me and everything went very smoothly thanks to her knowledge. She handles bankruptcy, family law and estate planning. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Laurel provided the legal advice I needed in a very genuine manner.
Laurel handled my divorce for me, and was there to answer all my questions and explain the process step by step. After a long-term marriage, this was a difficult task, but Laurel helped smooth the way. It was comforting to know she was available, either by phone or e-mail, to fill in all the tiny details that were unknown to me. If she couldn't be reached immediately by phone, Laurel was very good about returning my calls in a timely manner. I had previously dealt with another attorney on a different matter who was not at all good with communication, so I very much appreciated Laurel's approach. In the end, the law is the law, but I believe she did the best possible job she could in my circumstance. I felt I was able to put my trust in Laurel.

A+++ Attorney!!
Laurel Tesmer represented me in a child custody suit. She was very professional, organized, extremely knowledgeable, and her skills during trial were exceptional. Laurel knows her law, cares for her clients and is very personable. I highly recommend her.

Dedicated Professional Attorney
The only word that truly describes Ms Tesmers efforts on my behalf is "relentless"! This was my first time working with Ms Tesmer but she has earned my complete confidence and should I need an attorney in the future she will most certainly be the one I call.

Very Bad Experience
Maybe you had a better experience than I did. Even though they got the bankruptcy discharged as planned, they did not advise us of other issues that are now haunting us and have to be dealt with.

Not a good choice for handling an estate!
I hired this attorney from a firm to handle my late mother's estate. Unfortunately, Ms Tesmer was too busy opening her own law office to find the time to file the proper paperwork for my case. This caused a 3 month delay! (We're going on 2 years now!) Also, Ms Tesmer did not feel it was necessary to inform me she was leaving to start her own firm! I learned well after the fact! Not exactly looking out for her client's best interests at all!
