Best Trial Attorney in the City
Laurie represented me in an injury case. The way she took me through the whole process from deposition to trial was amazing. She was the most prepared attorney in the court room. It seemed the more complex the case became, the better she shined. I have and will continue to refer friends and family to her.

I have had the opportunity to work on a number of cases with Laurie and her firm, as well as the chance to consult with them on individual issues. The quality of their work and their devotion to their clients is why I am submitting this review.

When My case was referred to Laura Louise Del Percio, I made made the comment to my children, "I'm glad she is on my side of the case. She is a high powered attorney." I found her to be direct, informative, and enthusiastic about my situation. If I have to litigate again I would certainly ask her to handle the case. I am a professional, with an earned doctorate in my field.

A Godsend to our family
Laura was most professional but caring about our family and the case at hand. We were kept notified of everything but Laura handled all the details which would have been a burden to our already grieving family. We had complete confidence of a successful outcome. I must recommend Laura Del Percio to anyone who may need an attorney. We felt her strongest points were the detail with which she served our case, and her no nonsense attitude in getting things done. Thanks so very much, we really appreciate you, Laura.
