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.

Starts off decent,m but mid way let’s whatever happen.

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.

This review was written after I had the court order this former client to pay the fees he owed me for an intense litigation. I got him additional time with his child.

Child Support Case

Laura was professional and formal, got our child support modification and clarification all done in one court date, was very respectful of what we needed and wanted, and worked in our best interest

GREAT Divorce Lawyer

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 possi...ble 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.

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.
