Do not waste your time with this Psychopath, she's only looking out for herself.

Great attorney

I really appreciate Laurie Malone for all she’s done with me for my divorce. This was a roller coaster neither of us expected but she stayed tenacious and got it done. If I had to do it all over again I’d definitely hire her all over again. Truly grateful for the work and effort she put in this.

Excellent Mediator

Laurie Malone's strength lies in her ability to present the facts regarding mediation and the divorce process and allowing her clients to make informed decisions based on those facts. She was very patient with us as we worked through the mediation process. She did not rush us to make decisions, but w...as happy to let us work at a pace that suited us.Our mediation process took much longer than expected and had large time gaps between meetings, yet each time we met with Laurie we were able to pick up right where we left off. Laurie is a professional, knowledgeable and thorough mediator who is very capable of helping anyone going through the divorce process.

"Laurie's understanding of the divorce process, legally, financially and emotionally, was invaluable in helping guide me through my divorce.  She provided me with great options and leadership to help me make the best decisions for both me and my children.  I would gladly recommend Laurie to anyone fa...cing the difficult decisions that come with the ending of a marriage."

Knowledgeable

I hired Laurie after discussing my marital challenges with several attorneys. I selected Laurie because she provided me with options and wanted to understand my end goal prior to proceeding. Laurie is both a mediator and a divorce attorney which provided me the flexibility on the method of terminatin...g my marriage. I appreciate that Laurie also was able to provide me with resources post divorce. Laurie is knowledgeable, through, and help to stremline the process and timeline of my divorce. Thank you Laurie
