Exceptional attorney

OMG, where do I begin to express the greatest gratitude to this exceptional woman. I went to her office emotionally broken going through a very hard divorce that ended up in a domestic violence. Mrs Duran was able to get me the custody I needed for my kids and the protection from their abusive fathe...r. She went far and beyond. Yes, she an attorney and is busy with other clients, but she always will get back to you just be patient and give her time. I recommend her 100%

Greivance

I would not hire this attorney. After countless calls and emails, she disregarded my time and consideration to represent me and my daughter in my case. She saw us as easy money to get. Every call and email made to her office was ignored and dismissed. I paid this attorney $5000 for my court order to ...not be explained to me and my name on the legal document to be spelled incorrectly. She did not take any time before my case to explain how things would work. She rushed me through and only was worried about the money she was getting.

Custody Case

Due to the unusual and very delicate nature of of my case, I knew that the odds were stacked against me. Because of this, the odds were also stacked against my son. Laura took my case and went straight to work. Laura was able to achieve what was truly a miracle. My son will now be living with me, in ...our home he feels safe and is happy. He will have a very bright future and Laura has played a huge part in that. I will could never put a monetary value on what Laura accomplished for myself and my son. Laura will make herself available to you, she will guide you through what can be a very confusing Court system.  Laura is extremely professional, sympathetic, kind and extremely supportive. She also has a great sense of humor which for me personally was huge during a difficult time like this. When it came down to it though, she was aggressive when she needed to be and got the job done spectacularly! Her work ethic is admirable and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Laura thank you from the bottom of my heart, you were fabulous!! Laura is truly an asset  to Marvel and Wong.

A wonderful legal experience. (Custody Modification)

It was a pleasure to work with Mrs Duran. From the beginning consult to the final order, Laura was attentive to our legal needs and served as an advocate in understanding our rights as parents. I highly recommend other fathers and veterans to consider Laura when reflecting on hiring legal counsel. Sh...e is attentive and knowledgeable in her field and is also very personable and uplifting throughout the length of the process.

Excellect representation

Laura did an excellent job with my child custody modification and child support case. She was easy to communicate with, listened, and got everything I asked for within reason. She gave great advice and coaching and truly did what was in the best interest of my case. I will hire her again in the futur...e if I need anything!
