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 result...s 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. Di...vorce 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.

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.

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 u...se her again.
