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

I spoke with several attorneys about getting custody of my (step) son. Most hesitated, and few took the time to listen to our complete story. Laurinda didn't just listen, but she cared, and jumped in to action. She expertly maneuvered and led us through the legal process, never hesitating or settli...ng because she clearly understood what our objectives were. Her knowledge of the law, and ability to think outside the box made all the difference for us. She delivered the perfect resolution to a situation other attorneys told me was insurmountable. Thanks to Laurinda, my son and I have a new start, and he has the security and stability he has been longing for. We are thankful!

I thought my ex-wife and I could go the “do it yourself” divorce way and save some money. What a mistake! Not only was I totally lost with the court forms, status meetings, evaluators, and the other things we had to go through, everything I suggested to the ex-wife was not good enough for her. Lau...rinda was referred to me by a friend at work who she helped with his divorce. When I met her she explained that she would try and find a common ground for my ex and me to agree on as far as parenting time, assets and child support. If that failed, the gloves would come off and we would go to court. Never had to fight it out with the ex. Laurinda brokered a fair deal for both of us. Her fees were reasonable and she saved me thousands of dollars over what the ex-wife wanted. Would recommend her highly.

I used Laurinda's services for not one but 2 divorces, and always refer others to her. I got lucky and found her in the phone book (!) and had a wonderful experience. Laurinda knows her stuff and cuts right to the chase. She not only provided expert advice and told me the truth about my case, but... provided just enough emotional support to keep me confident that everything would be Ok. I have been to court with Laurinda for my second divorce, she was always exceedingly reliable and responsive. I have sent friends to her as well, and she has helped them through some tough situations; they were very pleased. As far as attorneys go, Laurinda is a gem, look no further.

Laurinda McDonnell was recommended to me by a friend I trust. They told me that she would support me in getting the best possible outcome. She did that. She had the right measure of compassion, knowledge of family law, good common sense and is great at problem solving. Now, I would recommend her... to my trusted friends too.
