Laura Elaine Christensen Colberg

This woman fits the stereotypical selfish, angry attorney. The worse she can make a situation by increasing conflict and misadvising, the more money she makes. She consistently told me I would get 80% of assets and far more in alimony that it turns out was reasonable. It's a 50/50 state. What was she... doing? No wonder my ex didn't settle without a fight. I didn't see at the time what she was doing or realize that her advice was leading this way, but there's no doubt at all that it did. She helped me feed off the anger and conflict as though I was winning something... She instigated my ex's attorney into fights over things that seem more about Ms. Colberg's sick enjoyment or getting more money for me to pay her with than anything. She nearly bankrupted me and almost cost me my house. In the end, I not only lost every penny of what would have been my settlement to HER (over 100k), but had to take out loans to cover leftover costs. She's the only person who won while I and my children are left starting over from less than zero. The whole time she promised I would get attorney fees. In the end I did, covering less than 5%. I understand that in a divorce you may wish to destroy your ex or take the stance that "if I can't have it, nobody can." Please don't. If you do want to lose everything, call Ms. Colberg. She'll be glad to take all the money off your hands where you, your ex and your children don't have to worry about it.

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!
