This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Just had court with her on tuesday

Being a client of ms. Longstreet for 4 1/2 years I can say I would not want any other lawyer to represent me in court. Ms Longstreet promised me and my wife my kids from a previous relationship will be safe and with me and she has kept it. When I thought I was going to lose her as an attorney moving ...on to the support aspect she assured me if we wanted to she will continue to represent us. She has for 4 1/2 made sure me and my family are whole. Hell I was allowed to speak my mind in court because our court system has allowed people to bastardize law. For the ones who found a negative experience what did you do to help your case cause she made it clear from day one I would have things to accomplish to ensure my outcome??? I recommend her to everyone who ask Who is my lawyer..

Highly recommended

Hands down the best, exceeded all my expectations. She is experienced and knowledgeable in the law, carries herself well in court, does her research, and comes prepared. Most importantly, she truly cares about the families involved and will put all her effort into fighting for you to the best of her... abilities. I am so grateful to Laura and all she has done for my family!

Helped a Father who thought he had no hope

I used Laura for my divorce. She was very prompt at responding to my questions and concerns. My divorce included who would have custody of my son. I was able to obtain SOLE legal and physical custody of my son. I honestly didn't believe it was possible since Indiana seems to favor mother's, even when... the children are in horrible situations, Indiana has always seemed to give mothers chance after chance while most fathers don't get second chances. I am now involved in another case trying to seek custody of my daughter from my other child's mother. So far everything is going just as well. Laura is very knowledgeable and truly cares about her clients. I would recommend her to anyone hands down.

You want the best? Well you found her!

Laura helped me fight my abusive ex to keep my children safe. I got everything I asked for plus things I didn't even know were possibilities. She is seriously amazing. She responses quickly to emails and even texts. If she isn't free right then she lets you know she received your message and a time f...rame for which she expects to have an answer back to you. She didn't see dollar signs when looking at my case. She is very down to earth and cares about her clients. I have referred her to several people who are fighting the courts for various reasons and they to hired her.

A Win for this Father

There isn't enough words to express my gratitude for all she has done for me. She is my 4th lawyer and after 3 years she went toe to toe with my ex in court and we left with a win. My ex has always beat me I haven't seen my 15 year old son in 3 years because my ex won't let me. He now hates me, use...ing my kids against to defeat me. But today my ex left with loss. Single dads I get it Laura is for us dads I'm winning proof. I will be more the happy to go in detail the hell I have gone through before I hired Laura please reach out to me I would love to talk to any of you.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
