Laurinda Lynne McDonnell

Going through a divorce with three young children was one of the most difficult experiences of my life, and I truly don’t know how I would have managed without Laurinda. She guided me through every step with compassion, patience, and strength. Her knowledge of family law and her ability to stay calm ...and focused made such a difference during an emotional and stressful time. Laurinda always made sure I understood my options and helped me make decisions that were best for my children and me. She treated me with kindness and respect, never making me feel like just another client. She genuinely cared about our family’s well-being and worked tirelessly to protect us and help us move forward. I am forever grateful for her support and dedication. I highly recommend Laurinda to anyone facing a difficult divorce or custody situation — she is not only an exceptional attorney but also a truly caring advocate

Mrs. Mcdonnell, became my primary attorney after enduring a tormenting and difficult year of divorce proceedings with another firm. Divorce is hard enough to go through, in any situation. When I opted to put my faith in someone new, after the massive disappointment I'd experienced, was more than a l...ittle frightening. However, upon conversing with Mrs. McDonnell in person my fear had dissipated. She accomplished more in the first 5 hours than my previous firm had in 2 weeks. She fought for me, was honest about what she was able to achieve and put aside the lawyer jargon and instead spoke to me in layman's terms. Mrs. McDonnell was available to answer questions, and my calls were returned personally by Laurinda or Stacey, her paralegal, with expediency. My divorce that had dragged on for a year was signed off and done within a month. I would recommend her service to anyone who is going through the hardship of divorce, if you want some who will look out for your best interest, with the ability to follow through. Notably possessing characteristics not typical of lawyers in this field: professionalism, kindness, and compassion, put her in class of her own. As she is classy and among the highest class in her profession. My only regret is not finding her when my divorce was initialized.

Laurinda has a way of understanding what the issue is and how to address it. This is undoubtedly because of all her experience. I have worked with other attorneys and firms who seemed to be better at billing than practicing law and advising their client. From my point of view, Laurinda deserves to be... paid for her hard work, but her focus is on the advice and legal work, not maximizing her revenue. She is very relatable and friendly but is also very efficient with her and your time.
