If you’re child is abused she doesn’t care

Laurie Young and Joe Brandon helped my ex win custody of my son despite his arrest for assault on me, tape recorded evidence of his admittance to physical abuse, and medical child abuse documentation. Years later we are still suffering and my son has diagnosed health issues as a result of the trauma.... She portrays herself to be a Christian but I don’t think any real Christian could participate and advocate for an abuser to win full custody. How would she feel if someone did that to her children? There is a higher court (god).

A true advocate

When I was severed court papers for a second time, I did not hesitate to call Laurie Young for help. This time around I knew I was in the very best care and thus I felt protected. Laurie and her team are diligent and helpful. There were a few times I found myself needing advice during nonbusiness hou...rs. Laurie and her team often responded within in a few hours. Laurie is an advocate and she made me feel comfortable moving forward in a high conflict child custody case. When I had concerns, she took the time to listen and discuss realistic possible outcomes. I appreciate Laurie Young, and I will not hesitate to ask her for help for a third time in the event the situation arises.

Compassionate

Laurie is great! I used her for a custody case and couldn't have been happier. I wish I would have used her for my divorce. She is very knowledgeable in family law and really helped me to understand the process. She treated me compassionately but was very tough with the other side. Her staff was help...ful. I really appreciate that they returned my phone calls promptly (my biggest problem with my first attorney). I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce or custody issue.

ARROGANT/SELF CENTERED

Laurie Young is very cash driven.I retained her and she did nothing but delay my case and cost me more money.She was so hard to deal with that she couldn't even keep help in her own law office.She was nice and respectful until she had the retainer fee then she completely changed.She did not listen to... me and she didn't care about my son and what was best for him.Every time I disagreed with her or if I didn't agree with what she was doing she would threaten to drop me and now I wished she did before we went to court.Every time I asked for my account balance she wouldn't give it to me until it was past due in a large amount and then she would enforce the 10 day payment clause in your contract or else. She sold me out and didn't look after my best interest.She was paid a large sum of money for nothing.She didn't file my paper work in time in several cases which caused my cases to be dismissed.She couldn't even get the facts right on my paperwork that was submitted to me for my approval and signature and if you correct her she got upset and blamed it on her staff.She would tell me to go ahead and sign the last page so I didn't have to come back to sign after the eras were corrected but when I went to court that's when I found out that there were no corrections made.Please understand this because I found out the hard way.You are responsible for what your attorney does in your name. Judge Rodgers even made the comment on how bad she had handled my case and said that I should get someone to look into it but you can't get another attorney to even consider taking any kind of action against a fellow attorney .Now because of the way she has screwed up my case it is hard to get another attorney to take it because of the amount of time it will take to straighten out.I have now had 2 other attorneys involved at different times working on the mess she has created .She will rope you in telling you how well she gets along with the judges but if you really knew the truth she don't.She is very self centered and arrogant.When your attorney has a personal score count on win and lose with another attorney that your going against that makes for a very untrustworthy situation and that's what I was up against with her. Please do not use this lawyer,run,run,run far away from her.
