Laura Elaine Christensen Colberg

No stars are given because when she briefly was a judge/commissioner and I had no help, I went ex parte in front of her... only because Patrick Moriarty would have been a conflict of interest (he knew this whole case though as his firm defended me in the past, and got a solid parenting plan on place ...to keep my daughter safe from my drug addicted, severely mentally ill ex) which resulted ultimately in my daughter still being locked into a nightmare unable to even leave the house in a different state. This lady here, did not look at my huge stack of evidence against my ex, nor would she even let me speak on my daughters behalf and ultimately ruled in my exes favor despite the parenting plan I had that notes it can't be changed or altered until he does certain things he never has done. My daughter has scoliosis and he refuses to get medical care to this day for her no dental care she dropped out of school 4 years ago and is trapped...scared of the world, no life skills, or social life at all. My youngest and I haven't seen or talked to her in years despite my fight every day...legally to get her home where she belongs. And this attorney does family law? Yikes I'm sorry if anyone has gone through the same nightmare as we have because of her.

Laura handled my case in King County and I was grateful for her expertise and beneficial advice. She walked me through all of the intricacies and challenges with compassion and the aggressive attitude I lacked as I was going though medical challenges. Since finding hidden assets is critical to a fa...ir settlement, she advised on ways to ensure discovery. She kept me informed during service of papers so I could be away from home during that volatile time. Sensitive to my fears and concerns, she arranged a mediation that was not face-to-face conducted by a knowledgeable and experienced mediator who would not allow the bulldozer approach my ex was taking. Because of her close attention to detail, I received an additional 25% in settlement money that I didn't even think was possible. She would answer every email I sent her, and had her assistant do many things to keep my costs down. I appreciated her attention to my budget concerns. I consider Laura worth every penny I paid her and more!
