Very Skilled & Experienced Lawyer

Laura helped me through a very difficult divorce situation. I was completely taken by surprise when my spouse filed divorce papers, and was worried about the children, the house, child support, etc. A friend recommended Laura because she had really helped her with her divorce. Laura answered all of m...y questions, and worked to put a great strategy in place so that I can get through this and move ahead. Laura genuinely cares about my situation and is definitely tough enough to fight to protect my interests. I highly recommend her.

recommend

Laura has been supporting me in my custody case since the beginning of the year. To date, I have kept the parenting time with my kids that I sought, and have been able to protect them from potentially damaging scenarios that my ex wanted to put the kids in (temporary moves, odd schedules, taking the...m out of pre-school). At times it does take a while to get a response from Laura, but I always find that she has been doing work in the background and has been a great advocate for me. When there is reason to talk she responds and always with good information. I would recommend her to anyone going through a custody case.

Laura Eisenberg -- Attorney

Without a doubt, one of the most professional people i have ever dealt with. Laura is an over-communicator with a comple skill set. She was able to manage my expectations while helping me to feel confident in the decisions we were making. The results were great and the client-lawyer realtionship w...as exceptional. I was also very impressed with the relationships that Laura had not only with opposing counsel but with everyone involoved in the case. She was able to get aggressive at the most appropriate times but also clearly understood when it wasn't necessary. I would HIGHLY reccomend Laura to anybody having to go through the pain of a failed marriage. She gets it!!!

Not only does she possess superior knowledge and skill in her field of domestic relations law, but she is able to combine this with the dedication and strength needed to obtain the deserved result for her clients, and the compassion and integrity necessary to assist her clients with doing what is right for them beyond the courtroom.

  • 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.
