Great Attorney

I hired Laurie to represent me on my child custody cases and through a neglect case that came up do to my ex-wife. Laurie was great the entire time, she continuously fought for my rights regardless of how difficult I was the entire time. She helped me to understand what my rights were and what I coul...d do. I first hired her after I realized I wanted more time then I was given with my children. After helping me get through several months of court cases and mediation, I was able to obtain 50/50 custody of my daughters. Then maybe a year later, I received a phone call from child protective services that my oldest daughter had been neglected and had something bad happen to her. I chose to have Laurie represent me, despite her warnings, and I couldn’t have been more happy with the results. I know have full custody of my daughters and can happily report that now 2 years later they still have not seen their mother who ran away, instead of owning up to her responsibilities. I highly recommend anyone that needs an attorney regardless of what the matter, divorce, child custody or neglect cases, should hire Laurie. She is patient and a great attorney, and someone that I will hire again if the need ever rises.

Nothing short of Amazing!!

I first hired Laurie in 2010 and have continued to use her over the last 9 years when needed! She is AMAZING!! I was completely in the dark regarding my divorce, my kids and my options. After meeting with her, I had a clear understanding of the court procedure, my options, and the correct way to move... forward. She always takes the time to make sure to answer all my questions, be hopeful but honest with me and make sure I feel good about moving forward! She supported what I wanted/needed 100%. I feel completely confident with Laurie! I would highly recommend her. Thank you Laurie so much for your kind-heart, wisdom, and guidance over the years!

Excellent Prenup Attorney

Laurie represented me for my prenuptial agreement in the fall of 2018. She was outstanding. Although my fiancé and I had discussed our prenup terms beforehand and were on the same page, Laurie provided so much more value to me than expected. She didn't miss a detail. She brought up questions and cons...iderations that I hadn't thought of and she was firm, but fair, and so enjoyable to work with. I recommend Laurie without hesitation!

Excellent

Laurie has shown herself to be an amazing, dedicated lawer for me during my divorce. She has helped me through a very complicated personal situation which involved domestic violence, protection orders, custody and alcohol addiction. She is very professional, returns emails and phone calls very prom...ptly. She follows through on all that she promises. Her communication style is direct and factual, which is much appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone who asks.

"I have know Laurie for years, as a colleague and friend. She has the utmost compassion and competence, and the work ethic to back it up. She works extremely hard to ensure the best result for her clients in a field that promises nothing and often delivers uncertain and unwelcome results. I still utilize her for the problamatic issues when I practice because her insight and problem solving skills are second to none. I would recommend her in any of her given areas of expertise."

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse Laurie with unqualified enthusiasm. She is hard-working, highly intelligent, very much at home in a courtroom and empathetic to clients. She has been with my firm for a number of years and we are extremely pleased that she has continued to work with us. It is terribly unfortunate that this website notes a prior discipline matter right out of the chute. It had nothing to do with her ability to practice law with brilliance and with the very highest of ethical standards that she has demonstrated during her tenure with us and before. I receive nothing but great comments and endorsements for her and her skills from our clients."

"I first met Laurie when she was the opposing counsel in a divorce case I was handling. Through my interaction with her as my opposing counsel I was able to see firsthand how she works. She is a tough litigant, yet professional. She demands that her clients get good results in their cases. I was so impressed with her skills as a lawyer that we hired her at my firm. We now work together. Having worked with her for the past several years and having co-counseled cases with her, I can say without reservation that Laurie is a top-notch attorney."

Where the other side has been cooperative, I have seen her usher a matter through to a quick settlement. Where the conflicts have been more difficult, her case evaluation and preparation make her a formidable advocate at trial."
