Collaborative law rock star

Before you choose a divorce attorney, do yourself a favor and research the field of Collaborative Law--and then call Laurel. It is entirely possible to make the most out of a horrible situation and Laurel is the best possible partner you could find for the job. She was an incredible advocate for me..., but more importantly, for my family - my ex-husband and I are now the healthiest co-parents around after coming out of the collaborative law process with Laurel. She came highly recommended to me from a personal friend who also used her for a divorce proceeding and I am still so grateful.

COMPASSIONATE, THOROUGH, EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I hired Laurel in 2016 for a child custody dispute that was completely outrageous with what seemed like 1,000,000 moving parts. She quickly and efficiently proved my case and had my children back in the state with joint custody within a very short period. Without her, I don't know where I would be to...day!

Laurel Solomon review

Laurel Solomon was my lawyer for a marital separation in 2011 & a divorce in 2015. She was consistently precise in her explanations & guidance, as well as compassionately helpful. I recommend her work enthusiastically & without reservation.

Long Child Custody Case

Laurel was my attorney for the better part of 2 years for a child custody case. She was not only completely professional with myself, and the opposing party, she was also completely invested in the well being of my child. She promptly responded to all of my emails and phone calls. Although I live out... of state, I always felt completely in the loop. Laurel provided excellent advice and her litigation strategy was well thought out. When our trial was finished and she was drafting our custody arrangement she was thorough and meticulous. She saw my case through until I had a favorable outcome in front of the judge. I can't recommend Laurel enough.

Complex Custody & Divorce Case

I've dealt with Laurel exclusively for over 2 years on my increasingly complex child custody and divorce case. She has been superbly knowledgeable about every aspect of my case including mediation, courtroom litigation, dealing with expert witnesses, medical issues, multiple levels of appeals includ...ing the NC Supreme Court, cross state jurisdictional situations, equitable distribution, alimony, child support.....you name it, Laurel can handle it with utmost professionalism. In addition to her superior legal knowledge Laurel is kind, sympathetic, someone who truly cares not only for you and your case but also for what is in the best interests of, in my case, the children involved. She actively seeks to involve you in decisions about your case so that you are an active participant and a true partner in resolving your case. I truly cannot say enough positive things about Laurel's legal capabilities and personal integrity. If you need legal counsel you will do no better.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
