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. Ov...erall, Laura was a pleasure to work with and an expert attorney.

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. H...ighly recommend her!

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.
