Fierce and witty with a big heart for what's right and true

Laurie is phenomenal. Her abilities and deserves 6 out of 5 stars. I have and will continue to recommend Laurie to anyone in need! Laurie you crushed it, the detailed trial presentation with documentation to back it up. Her quick wit and ability to cross examine on her toes. The quick and timely ...responses from her and her associates. She was honest and truthful even when if it wasn't something I wanted to hear. Thank you again from my family

Laurie Sweet lawyer

Laurie recovered my son who was taken by his mother without court permission. My son was gone for more than a year. Five years later, I still have my son and Laurie Sweet is the best lawyer ever! She presented the case to the Court, secured the warrant, and recovered my son.

Disorganized. Incompetent.

Incompetent at questioning witnesses. Did not follow through on numerous important issues which should be second nature to a competent attorney. - like filing evidence and exhibits for trial. Filed motions but never set hearings on them which I have learned makes them useless. You have to actually h...ave your motions heard. Delayed the case for years. Always on vacation. Went against my wishes on several important matters. I have accomplished more pro se than she ever did in less time. If you love your child, do not use her!!!!! I could go on forever but this is enough to warn you. You will lose your case if you use her. And she will charge you also to lose and lose badly.

Dino's lawyer for life; Laurie Sweeet

Laurie Sweet has been my Family Law lawyer since my divorce started back in August of 2005. She has been, and still is, more than exceptional according to my standards. She has been very knowledgably and very punctual on her final deliverables and has always met my expectations. I have hired Laurie S...weet for my cases on the criminal side of the law as well and she defended me in a way that no other lawyer could have done. She was remarkable on her court performance on proving my innocence when my ex-wife was trying to take my kids away from me for false allegations. I probably have had one of the longest running divorces in the county. I have been legally divorced since June of 2006, but I have been to court more than a dozen or so times over the last 9 years in dealing with Family Law circumstances where my ex-wife has been continually trying to get full custody of my 2 children. My ex-wife has failed miserably due to Laurie Sweets’ expertise on Family Law. Laurie recognizes the law and how Family Law has changed over the years from year to year. Laurie has been in every one of my Family Law court appearances and I couldn’t ask for a better performance from Laurie Sweet. Laurie will always be my lawyer and friend for life. I couldn’t thank her enough!! Thank you so much for making my life better against the craziness of others!!

amazing attorney

I love Mrs. Sweet and her offices. No she wasn't always available but always responded in a timely manor, in such emergencies as I needed her guidance she made herself available for me. She was always willing to explain everything in great detail. I knew what I wanted she explained my rights what was... going to happen in the course of my court proceedings. I had her for a little over 3 years she never gave up on me. Always explained why things were the way they were. She has in the 6 months since final hearing explained aspects if my parenting plan that eluded my comprehension. She NEVER acted in a major that was against my best interest or my son's. She guided me through a heartbreaking time when I was vulnerable and since final hearing my son's life is better now. I'm so glad I chose her to represent me my son's father made things hard but she never backed down or folded and we made it through with an agreement that I'm completely beyond happy with! She will do more than represent you but your child and she does so with such passion! Retaining her will be the best thing for your case.

"In today's day and age it is unfortunate that great attorneys like Laurie Sweet are hard to come by. Laurie is an extremely talented attorney. She is honest, hard working, and extremely caring. For many years my firm has been referring clients to Laurie to assist them with their family law matters. We have heard nothing but positive reviews from the clients we have sent to Laurie. She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who genuinely cares about her clients and zealously advocates on behalf of those clients. It is nice to know that lawyers like Laurie still exist. When dealing with highly stressful and emotional family law matters I would highly recommend doing yourself a favor, hire Laurie Sweet!"
