Compassionate, creative and knowledgeable

Our family has been working with Laura for a year and a half on a variety of matters concerning our child with special needs. What most impresses us about her is that she genuinely takes the time to know and understand our family and tailors her legal expertise to provide excellent, individualized s...ervices. Laura’s compassion and dedication have eased us through some stressful legal matters. She is flexible, creative and down to earth. We so appreciate her honesty and ability to not only help us better understand our legal needs, but also communicate this appropriately and directly to our child so that he better understands his rights and responsibilities. Laura’s holistic approach is unique and we look forward to working with her long term.

Excellent Attorney

Laura saved my father and our family from Arapahoe County Social Services 6 years ago and then facilitated the execution of his will & trust documents to protect everyone. Subsequently she has served as a valued and trusted attorney through a variety of other issues. She is incredibly smart, has a ...photographic memory, really knows the law in many different specialties, including elder care, special needs, estate planning, litigation, business law, etc. She is caring and compassionate, a true professional. Many underestimate her abilities, not a good idea, especially if you are the opposition. She is worth every penny we have spent and more. We couldn't have asked for a better, more effective attorney and will always have her as part of our team.

Dedicated, Passionate and Talented!

We hired Laura last year after another attorney was representing our needs with guardianship & conservatorship. This other attorney charged us crazy high rates and didn't do much at all to help or educate us through the process. I met with Laura and immediately knew she would take GREAT care of us an...d fight passionately to make sure what we needed happened. Laura has been working on many different things for us and she has years of experience and knowledge you can't get from just anyone. She ALWAYS put the needs the the client FIRST!

Highest Recommendation

Laura was highly recommended by professionals for whom I have the utmost respect. After working with her, I understand why and would like to extend the recommendation to others. She is doing an excellent, detailed job of preparing my Will and Family Trust, as well as setting up a Trust for my child... with special needs. Her expertise and knowledge in this area are unbeatable, and her fees are fair and reasonable. I am particularly impressed with the time she takes to fully understand the unique needs of my family, and to make sure that every question I have (and there are many) is answered to my satisfaction. Laura is able to put me at ease with her patient, kind and caring manner. Rather than feeling like "just another client" I feel like she sincerely cares about me and my family. I bet I'm not the only client who feels this way! I look forward to a long standing relationship with Laura as I prepare for my family's future.

She's been the best person in the world for me and my family

Laura was recommended to me by a highly respected lawyer that had thought so much of her when he came up against her that he suggested we use her when we needed to go through the Medicaid application process for my sister. Laura got us successfully through the eligibility maze, helped to organize as...sets, explained each step clearly and sequentially and ultimately got my sister onto Medicaid. This was extremely important for my sister's care and for our family. Because of Laura's work and continued advice, we were able to get the best care for her possible. When she passed away everything was so well executed that we were able to get through that quickly and smoothly. Also, there were more assets left and protected than we every would have thought possible. Laura' attention to detail and her ongoing consultation and advice allowed us to make the best decisions possible and to benefit in the end. She also worked on our estate planning and is continuing to offer advice and to complete the legal work related to my sister's estate and medicaid. I appreciate the human touch that Laura offers, understanding the personal side of these legal issues.
