Wonderful Attorney

I could not have been happier with Lauri. She was recommended to me by another attorney. I could not have asked for a more informative, trustworthy attorney to help me through my situation. She fights for what is best for you. She tells it like it is; open, honest, straight to the point, smart, and i...ntelligent. I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone else in the future. I would call her again if I ever need an attorney

Very Happy Client

I have been working with Lauri for several years during and now after my divorce. I could not have asked for a more informative, trustworthy attorney to help me through this awful time in my life. On several occasions, I was stubborn and was not willing to listen, and I am SO happy that I did. Althou...gh I did not see the bigger picture at the time, it was a blessing in disguise to have Lauri and all of her advise. She told me the facts, did not candy coat anything, and I am thankful that I hired her. I would recommend Lauri to anyone with child custody issues!

Couldn't Be Happier

I could not have been happier with Lauri! She was recommended to me by a co-worker and I would not hesitate to refer her to anyone else in the future. I read the other reviews on here and I agree she is honest, knowledgeable, committed, dependable as well as ruthless. But isn't that what you want ...in a lawyer? Someone that's going to fight for you? She did, for me and my daughter and I would not hesitate to call her again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend her, you will not regret hiring her!

Client

I have been a client of Attorney Schwefel for a number of years. I have been a law enforcement officer for over 26 years, and have dealt with many attorneys through the course of my career, local and federal to include prosecution and defense attorneys in any type of case you can imagine. Attorney... Schwefel has always been truthful and forthcoming with every answer to the questions I had. You will not find a more honest, competent professional. She is dependable, reliable, committed, and an extremely disciplined detail oriented attorney. Given my exposure to attorneys throughout my career, I know a good attorney when I see one. If I ever have any other legal issues that need to be dealt with in the future I will guarantee that I will again retain Attorney Schwefel as my counsel. Given my experience with attorneys, she is the best.

Sandra Ruffalo

Child custody lawyer | Aug 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Laura was appointed as a Guardian ad litem in a highly contentious case. The investigative skills she developed while on the police department led her to seeking answers which had been hidden for years while one parent had moved, leaving no trail that others could find. Laura hired experienced psychological help for the child victim and was forceful in her recommendations. When one parent was completely unwilling to cooperate, Laura took the matter to court on every issue and prevailed on every issue. I am aware of many other cases in which she did very well for her clients because she is very detail minded and follows through promptly."
