I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Laura Starr on my estate planning. The determination of needs process was thorough and efficient. She courteously answered all of my questions and concerns. The documents were prepared in the agreed upon time and executed in her office. Overall the experience was very positive. I feel confident that her recommendations and legal expertise has provided me with the best estate plan possible.

Very professional and friendly

We had our estate documents prepared by Laura. Despite being a young attorney, one may think she has no experience. My experience with her is the contrary. She was very approachable and answered all the questions we had and had a lot of suggestions. She came accross very professional yet friendly. Highly recommend her!

don't know what title means

Laura was my attorney for estate planning, including an updated will after my husband died. It was a somewhat emotional exercise, but Laura was warm, supportive, knowledgeable, dependable, clear about the process and timeframes, produced quality work, and helped simplify the amount of paperwork. Overall, Laura was a pleasure to work with and an expert attorney.
