I have worked with Laurie on her clients and she has helped me with mine. In either case, Laurie's work was superb. She listen's, analyzes and gets right to the heart of the matter. She is able to quickly direct you on how to solve a problem. We've worked together on a few uncomfortable situations for our clients and she was able to work it through to the complete satisfaction of the client. She knows her craft and is well versed on employment laws. I refer her without hesitation.
I spent my first 20 years as a practicing employment attorney, both for firms and in house, advising and litigating on all aspects of employment law. Wanting to blend my legal knowledge with business, I have now taken a role as VP of HR.
