"Laura and I were opposing counsel on a marriage dissolution case that eventually settled in a near fifteen hour mediation. Laura worked very diligently for her client up until near midnight to finally reach agreement. During the entire litigation I found Laura to be a tenacious litigator, always striving to put her client's interests in the forefront in every situation, while at the same time being a genuinely pleasant person to have as opposing counsel. She knows when to go to court but also when not to "make an unneeded problem" but rather to get her desired results in a more cooperative manner. I highly endorse this attorney."
