Laurie Melissa Cortez

I hope I have an option of more than 5 stars!!! In the end of January 2017, I Called Emilio Law office and left a message when I got worried about my case (sued by a big and public listed company and initially being asked for multi-million dollars...) and was not really confident with my existing a...ttorney, Laurie called me back with a positive willing to help and scheduled me a meeting on the same day. After about one-hour meeting (even no charge!!!), I felt I have no reasons to stay with my existing attorney and walk away from this honest Lawyer, Laurie Cortez. Remember, I did not tell her that I had an existing attorney that I had been working with but without sufficient confidence until the last minutes when I left her office. I Signed agreement next day (maybe the first day I just forgot it) and hired her. Laurie reviewed my case very carefully, investigated all details by spending a lot of time, she also browsed my company's websites very carefully to see if we really did something wrong. She walked me through all the procedure with more than enough patience, she was always patient and tried hard to educate me that I have to stay calm and act reasonably even when I feel I got a little bit depressed, angry or even crazy with my situation. She educated me how to process at each step yet let me decide what and when to make a response to the opposing counsel. She definitely worked much more than what she got paid, at least this was the fact in my lawsuit case. Because of her experienced working and honesty, I am quite certain that Laurie at least saved my company thousands of or even tens thousand dollars legal fees on my case comparing to my previous attorney. I do not want to owe somebody else but this time I feel that I owe Laurie Cortez once, she just did much more than I paid her, as a business man I understand that everybody's time is valuable, I wrote her email that she can invoice me for her extra work but she never did. Now my case was settled with pleasure and I am a happy man again! I just hope my english is better and have more and better words to express my thanks to my attorney, Laurie Cortez! You can't go wrong with Laurie, as she let me feel that she would never charge one dime for anything she couldn't be helpful. Laure, Thank you so much for everything! Kevin Lee
