Highly Recommend Laura Stapleton

Laura Stapleton by far exceeded my expectations. She assisted me with some IRS issues, as they related to my divorce. She was not only extremely knowledgeable, but able to clearly explain issues to me that the IRS did not. She was timely in dealing with everything, which is vital in this particular s...cenario. Due to her extensive understanding and grasp of the ever-changing IRS guidelines, she was able to assertively handle my issue and come to a resolution. Having Ms. Stapleton as my attorney was one of the best decisions I ever made and I highly 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.
