You won't find a more experienced and talented lawyer!

Laura is one of the best guardianship attorneys you can find. She is clearly passionate about helping her clients and she also has the experience to be incredibly gifted advocate. If you are unsure about where to turn and what your options are, I highly suggest your first step is making an appointmen...t with Laura.

Marvelous ManCuso

Laura represented me for a traffic citation I got last October. She was successful in getting both charges dismissed. Highly recommend A ++

Posted by travis | April 02, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

always check a lawyers specialty!

This was the first time I've ever lost a speeding ticket hearing. She failed miserably in getting a simple 10 over speeding infraction dismissed. I had to call her numerous times to get updates on my case. It was either " I forgot" or "I was super busy".That was her standard E-mail or reply to my ...inquiry. I do not recommend her for traffic offenses. Save yourself the money and headaches.

Laura Mancuso is an excellent attorney!

Laura Mancuso has helped me over the years with writing my will, estate planning and a current business matter. She has always been extremely knowledable, professional and friendly. I have consulted her regarding bankruptcy also. She informed me she did not do bankruptcies, but gave me the name ...and phone number of a good, local attorney who took my case.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
