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 was 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 facing 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 terminating 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

Incredible attorney & exceptional person
The divorce process is inherently painful and typically frustrating. I was lucky enough to find Laurie while searching for a mediation/divorce lawyer. She is intelligent, compassionate, and extremely effective. Whether you need some advice or professional representation, do yourself a favor and go meet with her. You will be very glad you did!

Mediation
Laurie made my divorce much easier than I had anticipated. After hearing all the horror stories from divorced friends I figured it would be so much more stressful and costly. My and my ex-spouse met with her a total of 3 times and managed to have everything completed in under 3 months from start to finish. She was very helpful in coming up with alternative ideas that I would not of thought of and was also kind and compassionate to us both. I had more laughs than tears. All said and done all my friends are in shock how it all went so smooth and fast. I highly recommend checking into mediation with Laurie first as apposed to a messy costly divorce.

Laurie knows the law!
I wish I knew Laurie at the time of my divorce as I was not treated fairly because my original lawyer did not provide me with strong counsel. Laurie helped guide me through the post-decree process to get the child support that was fair and much more than the Administrator initially set forth for my child. She explained the law to me and represented me at my hearing to help find income that my ex was hiding!

One of the Best
Laurie is a compassionate attorney. During a rather lengthy and bitter divorce, she was always there for me. She cheered me up when I was down, calmed me when I was upset and was patient with me when I was not. She always stood by me and relentlessly fought for me and looked out for my best interests. Her knowledge and skills as an attorney are without exception. I would highly recommend her to anyone. To be honest, hiring her was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Did not hire
Called her and she was so rude, unkind and uncaring I couldn’t understand how she got the ratings she did. She even cut our conversation short and hung up on me. I texted her and said that was very unprofessional and did not appreciate her hanging up on me. She text back and said I didn’t hang up on you. When you cut the conversation short, don’t say goodbye, that is hanging up on someone. It was like she didn’t want to waste her time talking about a potential case.
