Laurie was very effective and exceeded my expectations.

Laurie was very effective. She represented me in a claim against my former employer. She walked me through each step of the way and knew what my company was going to do and a plan for our next steps. She was efficient and warm at a time when I was distressed. I felt that Laurie was the only person l...ooking out for my best interest. Initially Laurie interviewed me and set my expectations for what could happen and I immediately felt confident in her ability to help me in this situation. She was clear when she would be available and when I should expect to hear from her and what next steps were in the process . She exceeded my expectation in every way.

Invaluable Guidance

I retained Ms. Wasserman to negotiate an exit from my previous employer. I was dealing with a tyrannical manager despite the fact my performance was spotless. Ms. Wasserman’s guidance was invaluable. She is an attorney; part of her job was to keep me realistic. I am completely satisfied with the... services I received from Ms. Wasserman and would recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance to manage a relationship with an employer.

Excellent Lawyer

Laurie Wasserman represented me regarding a Tortious Interference/Breach of Contract matter. Prior to selecting Laurie, I consulted with several lawyers in the area and knew immediately that I would make an outstanding choice in Laurie Wasserman due to her genuine compassion, honesty and experience.... During my first consultation with Laurie, I felt an enormous burden lifted off of me. Continuously showcasing her knowledge and respect for my circumstance, I found Laurie to be an outstanding communicator, accessible, diligent, and patient. Laurie’s value was her ability to listen patiently, bypass the emotion, and focus on the facts. My outcome was successful. I highly recommend Laurie Wasserman without hesitation.

Improved Severance Agreement...

Laurie represented me in negotiation of a severance agreement with my employer. Her perspective and objectivity were invaluable in shaping my argument and tempering my expectations concerning the outcome. Through many conversations and several successive drafts of the agreement, Laurie’s thoughtful... questions and careful edits improved my position substantially and brought a settlement nearly twice my employer’s initial offer. I recommend Laurie without hesitation.

What are my rights with Employment Difficulty?

I visited Ms. Wasserman for assistance in dealing with oppressive employment demands. I am an Administrative Assistant in a factory. I met for one consultation and we discussed my rights. It was worth every dime. I returned to work, met with my boss, and HR, and there was full agreement of my rights ...garnered from Ms. Wasserman's consultation.

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.
