Laura is a fantastic attorney who has responded in a timely manner several times over the years I have needed her. She always gives me an honest answer even when it might be hard to hear. I am thankful she is in my corner!!! Thank you Laura for always being there when I need you.

Satisfied Customer

At first I felt Mrs. Carpenter was impersonal towards me as a client. I hired Mrs. Carpenter for my divorce and child custody legal issues. My experiences with her and her law firm were from July 2012-August 2015. I spent around five thousand dollars paying for her legal representation. Of course... I did not like the amount of money I had to pay because it was a small fortune to me, but if I wanted a good lawyer I knew I would have to pay for one. That is simply how it works. Mrs. Carpenter was not available to me all the time but her staff was and consulted with her about any problems I had then promptly got in touch with me with information. I saw a great team effort from the Law Offices of Laura Carpenter towards my case. I learned that just because Mrs. Carpenter and I didn't have a personal relationship did not mean that she wasn't invested in accomplishing my goals for my case. She kept our relationship professional and I respect her for it. However, it was extremely difficult, at first, for me because my heart was in every minute of it. My sons well being absolutely depended on the outcome. Mrs. Carpenter is honorable and she is skilled at her work. Her confidence and demeanor in the court room is a force to be reckoned with. She has worked among the Odessa/Midland community for over ten years I believe and is a respected part of that community. There is a lot of benefit in having a local lawyer who has known most (if not all) of the Judges and legal counselors. She understands and executes the appropriate legal documents involved in cases. I learned, through my experience, that is actually the most important aspect of a successful outcome. I don't like or agree with that but, it is what it is. I strongly recommend Laura Carpenter as legal representation for divorce and child custody cases.

Awful!

This woman will leave you standing in court by to represent yourself, she takes your retainer and you're lucky if she shows up to the next hearing without demanding you pay more money. She never calls her clients back, she does not put in the work you have to do all the research and bring to court fo...r yourself. Please steer clear of this woman she is a scammer you will lose everything in a divorce, custody of your children or maybe end up in jail! She deletes negative reviews on her Facebook ads and other platforms. Please look for a better qualified person so the legal system will take you seriously

DO NOT HIRE

I hired this person for my divorce in July. I then cancelled it and someone said they would be calling me.. NO PHONE CALL. My marriage went bad again and I continued the divorce again..then my husband got on meds.. I cancelled it again. Then a week before thanksgiving my husband went off the deep end... and I wanted a TRO.. but not continue the divorece.. I got an email stating the divorce had commenced.. and there was a court date. WTH..WHAT COURT DATE?!?!?!? I called and then I was informed that to get the TRO they had to restart the divorce.. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT WHEN I CALLED FOR THE TRO.. They said someone would call me.. NO PHONE CALLS!!! I'm still getting emails for the court date which was yesterday.. I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE OTHER THAN STUPID EMAILS!!!
