Since 06 05 2017

I came to Laura after a workplace fall. She has been forthright and complete in assessing and communicating all aspects of my type of case. All advice has included multiple options for each stage, regardless if those options differed from "our plan". That way, I was current and apprised of all possib...le courses of action.

Brilliant !!!!!!!!

I hired Laura a few years ago. She did a great job handling my case. She's very understanding and very descriptive concerning the case at hand. I felt at ease and trustworthy because of her intellect and compassion towards her clients. And so I've hired her again, knowing I'm in good hands.

Attorney Laura Childs

I hired Attorney Childs to represent me iny WC case. When I injured my back and ankle. Requiring multiple surgeries. My case is still active. But so far Attorney Childs has done a wonderful job. A little anecdote. After I was released from my second surgery. I needed a medication. And I wa...s having a hard time getting it filled by workmans comp. Attorney Childs called the Walgreens and resolved the discrepancy. And made sure I got my medication. I will never forget that. And it proves she really cares about her clients. Not bunching them up and letting paralegals do the grunt work. She is awesome. Ralph

Amazing Results

I had a repetitive work injury. I honestly didn't think that I was going to get any compensation. When I hired Laura things began to happen. I recieved payment for lost time off and got a 5 figure settlement offer that I never expected! Laura has a great personality and is easy to work with. I woul...d highly recommend her.

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.
