Laura is the best attorney
I am incredibly thankful to have Laura on my side in helping my son reverse his 50/50 custody arrangement. Laura is a powerful attorney who fights fiercely for her clients. While it took some time to wear down the other side and ensure the judge saw the complete picture, the result was far better tha...

Absolute Best Family Law Attorney
Laura is the absolute best family law attorney you can hire. I was desperate and beat up by my ex and had false claims against me to take my kids away. I was distraught and hopeless. I hired another lawyer before switching to Laura and was not represented well by my previous lawyer. The time I could ...

WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE...
Presented herself as caring, compassionate, and dedicated. I hired her 3 yrs ago for my divorce case. Mistake! My ratings: Filed my documents in a binder= A ( too many requested documents from me that she never reviewed- just filed. ) ; Knowledgable about my case= C; Defended me during face to face ...
Unfortunately I do not who wrote this review. However, most attorneys file their documents into a client binder and I do review all documents received. Often times I receive documents that do not have legal relevance or are not beneficial to the case. Additionally, sometimes my clients want to take positions that are not supported by the law or the facts of the case. Attorneys are more than a mouthpiece for their clients. We are also legal advisors and sometimes that means advising our clients to take positions that are not consistent with their objectives. I absolutely do not side with the other side..... but I will certainly guide my clients so that they maintain positions that are reasonable and expectations that are attainable. A clients reputation in court is critical and if a client pursues positions that are not supported by the law or facts, they will often have to pay the other sides attorney fees. I have only had one client that I represented get hit with attorney fees and that was because this client would not take my legal advice. I will always tell my clients the truth, even when I know it will be hard to hear. That is my job.

Worth It!
Laura is the best! She was extremely knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, prompt in returning phone calls and emails. Ex-spouse was requesting unreasonable parenting time and spousal maintenance, Laura quickly shut that down and negotiated hard and fairly until trial which we won in court as well...
"Laura is a great lawyer who represented her client's interests well. She was well prepared for our hearing and was able to assist the court in understanding the core issues in the case. I believe that Laura will be a great resource to anyone looking for help in their child custody matter."
"I have worked as opposing counsel on two separate family/divorce law matters with Laura. She is a fantastic attorney and always advocates for the rights of her clients. I have no doubt that any client that hires Laura is in very capable hands."
"I endorse this lawyer. Laura is a professional that knows how to represent her client's best interest."
"I have had the pleasure of opposing Laura in a handful of family law matters and she has always been professional and responsive. She is well versed in the law and a strong advocate for her clients. I highly recommend her."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Gillis is a very principled and conscientious attorney who practices family law exclusively and therefore knows family law well. What you see is what you get with Laura. She is extremely down to earth and focused on the best possible outcomes for everyone."
"I endorse this lawyer. Knowledgeable, compassionate and client focused are ways to describe Laura."
"Laura's clients always get the added bonus of an advocate who truly cares about their children and their future successes!"
