Awesome Attorney

My fiance is going through bad child custody/ support case with his ex, and I was scared cause judge was going for mom and child support went up, so I called almost all attorneys in our county and no one would work with us - we don't have thousands of $ to give a lawyer... but she could hear how sca...red I was and she is working with us. We are still going through this right now but I would recommend her to Anyone. She is upfront and can be a lil rude but, I don't care, she is an Awesome lawyer! I can't thank her enough!

Awesome Attorney

Ms. Lauser is a wonderful attorney. She is an attorney who is devoted and loves what she does. I truly respect her for the work and devotion that she puts into each of her clients and cases. I have seen her at work she is constantly fighting for what is right. When she believes in her case she will f...ight for you until the end. She is handling my juvenile case at this moment and is doing an outstanding job. As far as if Ms. Lauser loves the Lord on some of these reviews they say she is a hypocrite I say this to them "You without sin cast the first stone" we all have our dirty little sins and we are not perfect but I can say that Ms. Lauser does love the Lord with all her heart and she may have her faults at times but she is a very God fearing women and an excellent attorney. If you need a devoted attorney Ms. Lauser is that women. One word that I can say for her is "RESPECTED" she is highly favored and respected.

An Awesome Attorney

I was recommended Pamela by another mother going through custody and CPS false reporting. After the interview with Attorney Pamela. She reviewed my case with a short noticed that trial would be in 30 days. I felt confident and quickly hired Attorney Pamela. I felt very confident that I called Attorne...y Pamela one a week, I had no worries that my case was in good hands. I had two days of trail, well-organized, a list of witnesses - Yes! Pamela had to move fast on my case. Two days and Pamela was great in asking all the right questions, reviewed all documents and on time. An honest, hard working, well prepared to a last minute trial. I was given custody in a small increment but at the mediation meeting two weeks after the trail. The other party decided/willingly to share 50 - 50 joint custody.

Amazing attorney!

Pamela is an amazing attorney. She not only is very powerful in court but she is very supportive of her clients choices. She doesn't give up and she will do all she can to make sure you get the help you need and she guides her clients in the right direction. I don't know what I would have done withou...t her. She won my case and saved my life and the lives of my family. Hands down the best family law attorney I have ever seen.

Pamela Lauser Esquire is hands down the Best Attorney in the area and Specializes in high conflict Family Law issues

Mrs. Lauser is responsive and fast acting, she knows exactly what to do in even the most horrific and odd cases scenarios. She is honest and dignified and expects the same of her clients, she is caring and compassionate throughout the entire process. Mrs. Lauser is the reason I was able to protect my... kids and get them out of a tough situation, she has changed my family's lives exponentially and I consider her to be a family friend after all she has guided me through. I appreciate that she values integrity as I want to work with an Attorney who is honest and never tries to omit or alter the truth. When dealing in Family Law and Custody issues she is the best, not just because she changed my life and the lives of countless others, but because in contacting literally every Attorney in the area after explaining my case, most of them advised me to hire Mrs. Lauser, she is well versed at handling the toughest of cases and everyone in the business knows it.
