Poor communication skills

She was the first attorney I had ever dealt with in my life and had the worst of experience. I had her as my attorney for about 7 months and would have sent her more than 100 emails most of them asking her over and over again about same questions for which I got no answers from her. I may be dumb, ...idiotic with my questions, but I asked her because I did not know. I did not know law and so I hired her. She would not answer them even if I asked the question for a month every day. Getting her on a call is even more difficult. She only gave me her office number where I can reach her. There was a time I had to call with a different name to get through to her. It was so worst at the end, she did not even answer my questions on billing and kept sending me notices. It was a nightmare hiring her, worse than the divorce itself. She did not do anything on the case and the case almost came to the trial. My next attorney had to work from scratch. It is not just the questions that she did not answer, even communications from the opposing counsel have been sent to me more than a week later. She would not even keep me posted on what she was communicating with the other attorney. Any documents that need my signature, she will say mail it to me. Scanned copy is not something she would encourage. Whether it was she sending me court documents or I sending her signed documents, it was all in mail. I thought that was the all attorneys worked until I worked with an efficient attorney. I was so clueless about my case and more so hopeless. She accidentally sent me an emaiI where she put me down saying things on email to the other attorney. If I was the only one treated so badly, I would like to ask her why? If you need a considerate, efficient and responsive attorney, keep looking.

Highly Recommend

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 .

Legal service with personal care

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.

She Got the Job DONE!

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 syste...m 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.

Child Guardianship Case

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.
