Laura Diane Horner

I can’t convey how wonderful Laura has been in helping get through a dark time in life. We often start out with very good intentions in whatever life path we choose and sometimes things go awry. Laura was so professional with the perfect amount of compassion. She listens and offers fair resolutions and possibilities. She definitely walks beside you through the fire and see’s that everyone involved can heal and move forward with their new path. Her continued respect for everyone involved through this process has really allowed everyone to feel comfort and secure and positive about the future. I cherish Laura and commend her for being an expert in her profession. I hold her in the highest regards and will always refer anyone to her that’s seeking help and respresention.

Laura was referred by a lifelong friend who used her services, and spoke very highly of her. I consulted with Laura with my case and although the legal process is never quick enough for me, I got out of the way and let Laura do her job. Laura was attentive to my desires for my case and in the end my petitioner got the short end of the stick. My future legal matters will be handled by Laura as I was completely satisfied.

Laura was an amazing attorney. She answered any question I had with promptness and accuracy and never failed to give me the best advice. She got me a child support order on our first court date! I started receiving the funds through the state from my son's mothers paycheck almost immediately. I am a father with primary custody of my son thanks to Laura Horner.

Laura was always on point, knows the law from all angles, and represents herself and her clients with fervor. I just wanted to share my thank you text I sent to Laura right after the divorce was finialized: THANK YOU LAURA!!!! You are unbelievably great at what you do. You squeeze everything possible out from all angles, all the while keeping your ethics and integrity on full display. It's impressive to see you run over another lawyer without crossing any lines. Thank you again for everything. I'll talk to you very soon.

Court is a process. Statues & legal jargon. I'm a carpenter. Who now has full custody based on..... well me.... And Laura's knowledge, diligence and advice. She's a professional with incredible knowledge of Illinois Family Law, and exactly how all that legal jargon applies to the rest of us. It's a process... and it's not fun. But you best be prepared if you find yourself here. She's not a salesperson, she won't promise stuff just for a retainer. And she's not just available 9-5. Negative reviews? Not every case & person is.... let's say... A winner. Take it for what it's worth. I have my son everyday.

I've just begun using Mrs.Horner. She's caring and very responsive to answer all questions. So far she's handled my matter to my satisfaction .

Ms. Horner has the experience to litigate many kinds of cases. Mine in particular was rather acromonious and Ms. Horner kept pressure on the other side and I got the results I wanted.

Laura really helped us get our child custody case resolved in a relatively short period of time. We provided her with information/ behaviors and she quarterbacked the process to get us to resolution. She regularly communicated results and next steps. She is very knowledgeable about the legal system and family law. Don't let her soft spoken demeanor fool you, this lawyer can fight. It is also obvious to see that she is highly respected by her peers and the presiding judges. This is a scary process for anyone to go through; Laura made us feel more comfortable. She regularly re-assured us that we were doing a good thing for our child. She is positive person who kept us moving toward the final goal. She worked with us to allow us to make payments to cover her fee - which was really appreciated.

I would highly recommend Ms. Horner - in a situation where there was considerable uncertainty, she was excellent in answering our many questions and guiding us accordingly through the process.

Laura's tremendous experience enables her to be extremely knowledgeable about her practice area. She is personable, sensitive and reasonable yet knows how to be deal with the "other side" appropriately when necessary. Laura is also very honest and has a lot of integrity which is important when choosing a lawyer. I highly recommend Laura.

She has really helped me with my legal situation like no other lawyer could. I am very pleased with the outcome and I would recommend her to anyone I know who is dealing with a child custody issue!

I found Laura after more than 4 years in court with another attorney. She picked up the case quickly, was more confident and professional than the other attorney and got it brought to an end quickly. Would definitely choose her again, if I need attorney services.

I’ve put tons of money into this lawyer, at the start she was supportive and ready. But after awhile she not only doesn’t get back to you but rather “ok” things never passed by the client. As a lawyer you are defending people who are “right and wrong” you professional want to be paid then please try to listen more, not blame the client and do what’s best for someone’s “life” cause that’s what they are coming to you for. No one wants their child, separation or divorce case to ruin their time on this planet. I would advise anyone to be cautious of this lawyer.

when I first heard of Laura Horner I was excited I thought she would be the answer ro my prayers in my child custody battle she talks a very good game before you hire her sadly its mostly talk. During the consultation she sounded very confident and made me belive she took what I was going through very personal but its just an act. She is the less. Are a deal attorney she when I hired Laura my problems when from bad to terrible in the end when she couldn't get her way she didn't fight she joined then that's right I ened up in court standing against Laura and my daught we rs mother attorney she set a high child support arrears amount after she told me not to come to court then she after the court had taken a turn on me she then tried her hand in fo get money from me she didn't earn and I had to contact the architect for what she did .Do Not Hire This Attorney unless u want to double your problems

Laura initially came off as a very confident lawyer and reassured me that the issues I was having regarding my ex would be taken care of without any trouble. She acted excited and ready to go. As soon as my ex retained a lawyer, she seemed very intimidated by their high profile. After 1 year, nothing happened with my case except for motions being filed which went no further then just the filings. I would reach out to Laura multiple times about really important issues and most of the responses took weeks, if any response at all. She always made suggestions based off of what she thought the judge would think or how she would look whether it was helping my situation or hindering it. At one point, I started feeling like she was putting me in a worse position then before hiring her. Finally I decided to seek new counsel after going a solid year without any change in my case. After getting a new lawyer, I realized just how unorganized she was, even in her office. Her Secretary was nice but seemed to not know what she was doing. I'm not one to go out of my way to write reviews, but with the amount of money I wasted, I am hoping to save someone else a potential let down financially and mentally.
