Laura A McDermott

Laura exceeded our expectations in the handling of our case. She won the case with ease and remained respectful and courteous to ALL parties even when the opposing lawyer was horribly unprofessional. Definitely recommend.

Child and family law case. addressed all our needs explained everything clearly and professionally. Top notch Attorney. I was always able to reach her through email, phone or website.

My husband and I obtained Laura McDermott. We needed help getting scheduled visitations for our granddaughter. In Arizona, we do have a grandparents rights law, however, it is not cut and dried. Not only was Laura was so on top of everything. She kept us informed as every step took place, she had to remind the "other" attorney several times when they were not timely. When it came down to the trial, this is where Laura absolutely soared. She had done her homework and presented all exhibits with such confidence, really blew them out of the water! There is not one thing my husband nor I could say that would have made things go better. Before meeting with Laura for the first time, my husband and I felt pretty hopeless, feeling the loss of not being part of our granddaughters life was awful. We put all our eggs in her basket, and WON! Of coarse, we hope never to need her again, but if we do, there will be no hesitation. With pleasure, we definitely recommend Laura McDermott.

Mrs McDermott represented my family in an emergency custody situation that progressed into a modification of an existing custody order (through divorce) from 6 years prior. Starting with the consultation until I picked up my final casefile Mrs. McDermott was very thorough, professional, and No Nonsense. She ensured that we knew what to expect, without giving false hope. She worked diligently to present all evidence, facts and Witnesses in our case in the most respectful and appropriate manner. She walked us through each step of the process and insured that we were within all legal time frames, that we had all the documentation showing due diligence on our part. She was able to to take tons of information we provided and effectively put together the information that solidly proved our case without bogging it down with a bunch of extras or things that were less significant in the long run. She always made herself available either through text, email, or phone call. She was very fast and proficient with her responses and ensured her availability to appear when unexpected issues arose. She is very personable and there's definitely somebody that you want to have on your side when fighting for your loved ones. I would highly, highly recommend her, and if needed will definitely be using her in the future. Don't be scared off by the initial payment ....it goes a long way and she breaks it down so you understand exactly where your money is going and was even able to get a court order for the other party to reimburse some of my out-of-pocket costs.

For anyone who needs a lawyer for family services like custody and parenting time,... she is the lawyer to go to. We had a free consultation where she explained what she was about and what she could do for us. She let us know what the judge would look for and and consider. She was straight up from the get go and was aggressive in our case for my step son. We ended up getting everything we asked for. She made sure to cut out the nonsense and remained professional throughout the whole ordeal. She made it easy for us to place our trust and money in her hands. She was on top of everything and filed all paperwork expeditiously. She also has an online portal where you can see all paperwork all messages and made it easy to communicate with her. Honestly the best of the best!

Always on top of things, never pushed me to decide anything. I could have likely got some kind of settlement, but I chose to quit and not drag things out. I would highly recommend Laura.

I seriously can’t say enough about Laura and her firm. I would seriously recommend to anyone needing legal assistance. I am an active service member overseas who got a divorce but the divorce decree didn’t state I wanted my maiden name restored. I found Laura on google and called her up and she immediately agreed to take my case and sent up a contract so we could get everything started. She is so quick and responsive with everything and made this whole process as stress free as possible! Another plus is everything she does is she does is electronically so any documents I needed she would upload them on the portal and I would get them off there instead of having to send everything through the mail and it prolonging the case! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH LAURA!

Laura did an amazing job on my extremely high conflict child custody case. I was the respondent and the party who filed the case was determined to use any method necessary to hurt me, to avoid paying his part of back child support, to avoid paying a fair amount for current child support, to get large amounts of parenting time with a child he has never had significant parenting time with and essentially to cause turmoil in our lives out of jealousy and hatred . He attempted very shifty and manipulative tactics, including false reports, a sundry of lies, dishonesty on his financial documents and the list goes on. Laura met him and his attorney at every pass, she called him out and got to the bottom of each lie. She made sure that he was held accountable for his lack of support in the past and that he was required to provide support going forward. Laura was also able to get an order for him to pay some of my attorneys fees, I was also awarded sole decision making, primary residential parenting. It is refreshing to have the other party held responsible for his actions and held accountable for helping to take care of his child in a fair way. Laura McDermott was very communicative, answered my questions and was forthright with me about what I should truly expect. She took the time and put in the energy and effort needed to make sure that the truth prevailed and that a fair judgement was gained.

Laura has accomplished so much in my case. She came in mid case on a pro se case. She took over got up to speed and fought for me. She did an amazing job and was always on top of things. Very responsive and her client portal app made sharing documents and communicating very easy.

Laura McDermott is an amazing lawyer. She helped me at a time in need when I did not know how to be my own voice. From the beginning, Laura had my my best interest at heart. Laura will not sugar coat things and tell you what you want to hear, instead Laura will tell you how the law works, the truth about your case, give you options, and will work her hardest for you in ever aspect. Laura is extremely detail oriented and unlike most lawyers, Laura not only represents you but also does her own paralegal work which means she is in tune with your case the entire way. I felt so confident having Laura by my side knowing she will work her hardest for me and have my best interest at hand. Laura thank you for all that you do and for what you did for my family. I am beyond grateful to have met you.
