Review Laurence Gendelman

A huge relief

Posted by LizFri May 24 2019

We hired Laurence for our family case. He is amazing. It is so much easier to wade through the legal BS when you have an attorney who can break things down and get stuff done. Laurence worked his butt off and was always available when we needed him. He made a huge difference and we are incredibly happy with our choice to hire him.

One of the best teams I've ever had in my corner!

Posted by KellSat Feb 23 2019

When I initially went through my divorce, my legal team was incompetent. When issues from that process were reopened I opted to find new representation. The replacement team I found was Laurence Gendelman and his stellar crew. What a difference it makes to have an outstanding legal team on your side. Laurence genuinely cares about his clients, their cases, and the outcomes he achieves. He understands the law inside and out and consistently had multiple backup plans prepared and thought through to tackle any eventuality that presented, or that he thought was even a possibility of presenting. When everything was said and done in my own legal saga, my life was completely different. In a good way. Laurence and his team brought to my argument clarity, professionalism, tenacity, and a strategy that was explained, intelligent, and ultimately effective. It was clear throughout the process that his understanding of the law could be relied on and found comforting. I would recommend Laurence to anyone who finds themselves in a legal situation that falls within his area of practice. Choosing a lawyer can be daunting and the system and it's many confusing processes can feel impossible to navigate. Take the guess work out of the entire ordeal and choose a team that will have your back, give you great advice, and fight with everything they have to get you the best outcome possible.

Laurence is an exceptional attorney who I have known since law school. In school, he was a motivated student committed to learning the skills needed to become a great lawyer. As a practicing lawyer, he puts those skills to use for his clients. He is a talented advocate. When friends or family ask me for a referral to a lawyer for probate, trust, estate, or digital-asset issues, I send them to Laurence.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Laurence is a top notch lawyer. We went to law school together and he has always been one of the most intelligent, hard-working people I know. He is passionate about his clients and goes the extra mile for them. When I need a probate, trusts, estate planning, or family lawyer Laurence is my first phone call. I highly recommend him.

Ann Gushurst, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jul 4, 2017

I endorse this lawyer. I supervised Laurence and can say that he is bright and personable. He then went on to work with a very senior estate attorney. I predict his background in both family law and probate/ estate law will make a great combination for his future clients.
