Not Worth Your Time

She represented my husband in a case that had nothing on him and now his life is ruined. Where was the evidence her reply I don't know.

DO NOT HIRE!!DON'T WAISTE YOUR MONEY.

Don't waiste your money on this lawyer.I went through a hard custody battle with my ex and it felt like she wasn't on my side,wasn't helpful at all.Paid her $2500.00 for nothing.She didn't fight for me and my rights as a mother.She charged me extra for every little thing.I then decided to fire her an...d hire a lawyer that actually won my case and was very helpful.Please do not get fooled by her...All she wants is money.

STOLE OUR MONEY!!

DO NOT HIRE!! We called numerous times and could never speak with her about our case. Her staff could never answer any of our questions and only called when they wanted more money. We decided not to pay another cent until we spoke with Laura and she would never return our calls she then dropped us as... a client without ever speaking to us or doing anything for our case after we paid her $1500. She wants the money without doing the work. Hire someone who cares about your case because hiring her was the worst decision I have ever made!!

Do not hire!!

Horrible woman!!! Took my 2300$ and did nothing !! At the court house had to hunt her down after sitting there 5 hours, she was so put out and charged me 300$ to talk to her in the hallway for literally 2 min. Next court hearing she took off down the hall before I could even talk to her and see what ...was going on! Charges me for three more months because she waiting on a paper from midland!! Really 3 months!! When she got the paper finally then ever single judge was on vacation for a couple of weeks. Ya right !

Out For The Money Not The People She Represents

When we first talked to her she was so upbeat and positive about our case. As it progressed she ignored what we wanted to do to the point that at the mediation of our case she failed to provide documentation we provided her to prove our case. A deal was made that we where pressured into by being tol...d "if you don't settle the Judge will throw the case and you will get nothing" So now we are screwed out of our land possessions from our fathers estate.
