Custody

Laja help me with the second hardest thing in my life! Fighting for my kids! She is very very patient with me! She work with me financially! Her assistant are great. Quickly to respond and aloud me to express myself. We win a lot of stuff. My children father is very difficult. She was very profession...al with him as well. I would highly recommended her. I plan to use her if I need to do so in the future. Thanks to Laja and her assistants

Amazing!

I met Laja on a pro se hearing for temporary orders on my divorce case. She was the second attorney that I had pro se and immediately I could tell she was far different from the man that had represented me the first time around. I retained her ASAP after that second hearing and I haven't had a regret... about it since. Laja, while representing me and willing to do as I asked, was an amazing voice of reason in helping me make decisions on how to proceed with my case and laying out possible outcomes, as well as giving her professional opinion based on her experiences from past cases. She has a vast knowledge of Utah family law and in the end, the case worked out in my favor which is abnormal for the state I live in. She dealt swiftly with my ex through the whole thing, who was constantly dragging her feet and making things difficult. Laja went far and beyond her description when arranging meets and phone calls, as my schedule is a bit hectic, and she is quick to answer any questions via phone call, text or email without pause. Laja is an amazing attorney. My case would not have turned out as it had without her expertise and I am definitely keeping her information in case of any future issues with my case. Thanks Laja!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
