Laura Elizabeth Vittetoe

I had a very ugly case that had been bogged down in the court system for years. I wasn't making any progress until I changed counsel, and third time is the charm, trial in June finally saw all the facts come out, and the complete picture was presented. Laura was the first attorney that took the ti...me to listen to me and get all the facts and put the pieces together, not just blow me off and get off the phone. She was able to get admissions from the other side during cross of things I didn't even know about, and she exposed the other side for who they really are because she understands how to think critically and come up with a full blown strategy for the case. She told me during our first meeting that a good family law attorney has to understand the other side's psychology. She's not afraid of hard cases or challenges and she was the only one out of my attorneys who was always candid and honest and always kind.

After trying to handle the Polk County case on my own we kept ending up with no progress. After years of nothing changing Laura has been able to make huge strides in a short time. She gave me her personal cell number and is always reachable directly via call, email or text. During our first strategy ...call she was already extremely familiar with my case. She offered her opinions and expert advice citing the laws and rules that would fit my situation. There are some things I didn't want to hear such as having to try mediation again but she informed me that we have to be sure to follow the right protocols if we want the right results. I will update my review after the case is closed, but wanted to share with others struggling with a Polk County or nearby case that Laura is more than an attorney and has truly been advocating for me from the start. She even moved her entire schedule to be available for a hearing that had already been scheduled with short notice. She was ready to hit the ground running and I can't recommend her enough. Anyone who has written a bad review about her is obviously upset she represented the opposing party, or wishes she hadn't told them the reality of their legal matter. An attorney can only do what is legal and not everyone likes to be told what they don't want to hear. Laura has been a lifesaver already and I'm so grateful she was willing to take my case on. Do a consultation with her you won't be disappointed.

I came across a review that suggested Laura, an attorney, was so inadequate that they wouldn’t wish her services on their worst enemy. This statement, however, is context-dependent. If your adversary deserves a less than stellar defense due to their false claims and you possess evidence to refute the...se claims, then Laura might be the perfect recommendation. Laura has a reputation for distorting facts and relying on the inability of the opposition to counter these fabrications. The role of an attorney should be to construct a narrative based on the actual facts of the case, not to create a story based on manufactured evidence. Laura, however, will tell you what you want to hear, regardless of the truth. I can attest to this because she represents the opposing party in my case. Contrary to what you might think, I’m not upset about this. In fact, I’m grateful. I have irrefutable proof that the allegations against me are false, and I’m confident that the truth will emerge during the hearing. I’m eagerly anticipating the day and hoping that it will finally bring consequences for the opposing party’s false allegations. If you’re someone who prefers to hear what you want rather than the truth, Laura is the attorney for you. She won’t require any proof for your claims and will rely solely on your word. When things go south, she’ll blame you and claim she did her best, even though her best should involve asking for evidence to support your claims. I would give Laura a 5-star rating if I knew only horrible people would read this and deserved to have her and I would even give a much better review like the clearly faked reviews made by others that's probably her or her staff or some lucky soul who had an open and shut case. If your enemy needs a lawyer, I’d suggest subtly recommending Laura. You won’t regret it unless you’re the one being represented. Don’t misunderstand me, Laura might win a case or two and receive positive reviews, but again I suspect these were straightforward cases against individuals who couldn’t afford proper legal representation. Once my case concludes, I plan to file a complaint with the Florida Bar, providing tangible evidence of Laura’s deceit and lies. I hope this leads to an appropriate disciplinary action, such as the revocation of her license. I have undeniable evidence, and I don’t want my opposition to seek a more competent lawyer because I’m eager to refute their claims with factual proof. Looking forward to the hearing. I'd give my real name but don't want her knowing anything before the hearing nor do I want her to decide to work pro bono for my opposition out of spite for me, lol.
