Posted by Amy | October 17, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Skilled Support , Clear Communication, Real Concern for Safety

I was referred to Merel Family Law by another attorney, and even though my matter wasn’t divorce-related, they supported me in pursuing a plenary Stalking No Contact Order. Finding a trusted attorney on short notice was hard, but Laude Hartrum was my main point of contact and took my safety seriously...—communicating clearly and appearing in court within 48 hours. Marleena Broekema was also involved and was professional, prepared, and compassionate throughout.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
