Great attorney, great team!
We used Josh, Laura, Sarah, and the whole team to set up our estate plan. They did a great job. They even worked around my husband's hours at work. They are friendly and explain things well. We highly reccomend them. And their receptionist Bonnie is so nice!!

"Laura is a reputable and insightful estate planning lawyer and is committed to providing her clients the very best. She is well-respected by her peers and in the community.""
"Laura is an excellent attorney and a wonderful person. Laura has an uncanny ability to connect with everyone that she meets. She becomes much more than just a legal advisor for her clients, but a confidant and friend. Also, as a mom of 4 kids and a business owner, she understands the practical sides of raising a family and running a business - you need more than just legal documents to make a family and business succeed. Laura's planning goes well beyond creating legal documents, but encompasses the practical side of planning that is often overlooked, but just as important as the documentation. There is no attorney that I could recommend more highly than Laura!"
"Laura is a knowledgeable attorney, who is an expert in her area of law and a caring advocate."
"Laura is an intelligent and empathetic attorney who is conscientious about the quality of her work. I spent a couple of years working with Laura at Klein DeNatale and found her to have a strong mind and work ethic. I highly recommend her for both her ability and enthusiasm."
