This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Thank you.

Thank you for responding to my question so promptly. I was looking for an actual dollar amount which wasn't offered but at least she responded and I appreciate that.

Honest and Excellent Service

I was very nervous about alimony. I make a lot of money and my wife never worked. We were married a long time. Laurel was very honest and told me that based on my case, I needed to plan for paying alimony. She said the real question was how much and for how long? She was right and worked hard to make... sure I didn't pay more than was fair. I was very satisfied with Laurel's advocacy and her honesty.

Highly Skilled Lawyer!

I found Laurel through Avvo. The first time I met her, I was impressed by her kindness. She really understood how painful planning for a divorce was for me. She also was able to answer all my questions, and it was obvious she had a lot of experience. She involved me throughout the process so I knew w...hat was happening and I was very pleased with the outcome.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
