Laura was very professional with a very personable demeanor. She was always very well prepared, and able to explain the situation in a charismatic and light hearted way. Would definitely recommend her to represent you in any kind of court proceedings.

Right off, I found Laura to be very down-to-earth and compassionate as a person. She worked on my case with the utmost integrity and diligence. Laura would be my first and only recommendation for anyone needing a family law attorney.

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.
"I came to know Laura by practicing against her over 12 years ago. She is highly intelligent, extremely skilled and always prepared. No one will out work her. If I, a close family member or personal friend had a family law matter, I would not hesitate to engage her services, especially if the case involved high stakes custody issues or the division and preservation of significant assets. Laura is also a go to when your family law case involves peripheral criminal allegations because she was a prosecutor for a number of years."
"Laura was very professional and courteous in the handling of a family law matter as opposing counsel. She was easy to contact and discuss the issues to reach a settlement that was in both parties interest."
"I endorse this lawyer. Laura knows how to help her clients and will aggressively defend her case. She is a lawyer to have on your side."
"I endorse Laura. Excellent local endorsements and contributions. Reviews tell volumes. If you are in or near Chandler do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation."
"Having seen many of Laura's answers to complicated questions I can attest to her extensive knowledge of criminal issues here in Arizona. I would definitely recommend her."
"Laura is a tremendous advocate for her clients. I give her my highest endorsement in the field of criminal and DUI defense."
"I personally endorse Attorney McDermott for being an outstanding member of her profession and for bringing quality legal work to her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Laura is hardworking and compassionate and is a well-respected member of the legal community."
