Laurie is great

Laurie was very professional, knowledgable, and easy to work with. She helped create a very smooth, efficient divorce mediation process, and was great at maintaining a constant stream of communication from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Review-Laurel Amaya

Laurel Amaya is an excellent family law attorney and I would highly recommend her.

Divorce

My experience with Ms. Amaya was both professional and humanistic. The process of going through a divorce can be daunting, but Ms. Amaya protected my interests, and was accesible to my needs. She is smart, dedicated and hardworking. I would reccommend her services anytime.

If you're looking for a great lawyer, look no further.

Laurel was instrumental in getting me through my divorce. She was very helpful and understood that there was no animosity between myself and my ex and didn't exploit that for her own benefit and stayed true to our decision to divorce amicably. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a di...vorce or separation.

Laurie is the best

I interviewed 3 attorneys, and decided to go with Laurie. It was the best decision. She is fair, and really looked out for my best interest in handling my divorce.

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.
