Laura Anne Sutkus

I interviewed three lawyers before choosing Laura. I made the right choice. She and her paralegal Marcie always made me feel like my case was important. Laura is compassionate and really cares about her clients. She listens to their concerns and is a tough advocate when necessary. She made one of the... most difficult times of my life manageable. I can't say enough good things about her.

I hired Laura to work collaboratively with me, my ex-husband and his (also collaboratively trained) lawyer. Both my ex and I are so pleased we did. Ours was a bit of an unusual case in that we wanted to divorce but also continue to own and operate two businesses together as well as to keep extended... family relationships active. Laura listened closely to what I wanted to achieve individually and together with my ex. She was organized, efficient, respectful, kind, dependable, responsive, open-minded and is quite obviously well versed in her knowledge of divorce law. She was patient with my ever-present questions, providing clear answers on the spot or soon afterwards. She never left me or us wondering what the next step was. She kept us all on track as well as provided excellent references for outside consultants as needed. We ended up meeting all our stated high-end goals, both faster and less expensively than we had expected. I highly recommend Laura. She provides extraordinary value.

I learned of Laura by referral from a local mediator. In 2016 I began working with Laura to initiate my divorce and reached successful settlement in September 2017. Initially I thought I could fill out the court forms independently, but soon realized there were far too many questions for me to answ...er on my own. At that time, I chose to hire Laura with unbundled services, where I took the lead on filings and meeting my own deadlines. Laura did a fantastic job asking the right questions (at the right time) to understand my case situation. From there, she provided me the correct forms to draft on my own, listed the supporting documents I needed to obtain, and helped me take the practical steps toward a temporary living situation. I was able to save a lot of money by gathering my own supporting documents and draft the court forms. She suggested helpful/necessary changes to my work, kept me organized, identified all the required steps, and provided helpful reminders. Afterward, Laura and I have kept in touch regularly over the last 6 years as she answers questions I have from time to time. In 2021 I hired Laura again, but with full representation since I was busier at that time. Laura took the lead in my case and carried a lot of the work which I am very appreciative for. We worked together easily and successfully, reaching an agreed settlement in January 2022. I am very pleased with the outcome for everyone involved. My sense is that everyone enjoyed working with Laura, not just me, but officers of the Court and opposing counsel! Like so many people, I work hard for my money and care about my family so I want to hire only those who I can trust, and Laura is certainly one of the people I trust most. Laura is even-keeled, organized, and flexible - but also has firm boundaries, decades of legal experience along with a great sense of humor. I wish Laura and her clients all the best.

I hired Laura to provide unbundled services because my ex-husband and I were using a mediator without counsel in the room. While a divorce is devastating, if you have to get divorced having Laura counsel you is a great decision. She was responsive, with a few exceptions when she was busy with a court... case, and she made sure I was getting a fair share of the assets and spousal maintenance without being unfair to the other person.
