Best representation.

I cannot say enough good things about my attorney, Laura Horner. She stood by me during one of the hardest times of my life and helped me win 50/50 custody of my children . Laura was always prepared, honest, and truly cared about what was best for me and my kids. She took the time to explain everythi...ng to me, answered my questions, and made sure I never felt alone or hopeless in the process. Because of Laura’s hard work and dedication, I now have equal time with my kids and can be the father they deserve. I am forever grateful for her support. God bless her for everything she did for me and my family. I highly recommend Laura Horner to any parent going through a custody battle.

very deceptive

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 ver...y 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

I asked this client for proof of private payment of child support and he could not provide me any receipts for payment. The state disbursement unit and the circuit clerk both had the arrearage amount calculated as was set in the case, there was nothing I could do or argue. I did draft the order that would allow credit for any receipt or proof of direct payment if my client does find that proof. The client's poor record keeping does not make me inattentive, a poor lawyer or on the other side. I was honest to the court and that is my only fault in this case, being ethical and honest.

She is the hardest working attorney i have ever meet!

Laura was recomend to me by another lawyer. This was the game changer i needed! I have been dealing with a very interesting divorce. Anything and everything has happened. Laura was thrown in after 8 months of crazyness. But she was up to the task. Within a couple weeks. I have visatation. Not hav...ing it for the past 5 months. She pressed the judge for more and he excepted. She works tirelessly for my boys and I. Most people have a problem connecting with there lawyers. I have put that to the test. She gets back to you. One of the biggest issues with lawyers. She tells me the best route to go. What should be done first. And at this point i trust her with my life! She will do or almost die trying to get what you want done! I will bet my life on this magic woman!! Side note. Her billing is not normal. She bills you what time she spends on set task. Had two other lawyers and compared. She is literally the only honest lawyer in the book! That is truly saying something right there.

Outstanding lawyer

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.

Dedicated Family Lawyer

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.
