Would highly recommend for modification of child custody/parenting time/emergency custody

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 Nonse...nse. 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.

A+ Family Law Attorney

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 trut...h 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.

Joshua Wallace

Family lawyer | Jan 21

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."

Eugene Chastain

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."
