Direct and Effective
I retained Laurie’s services for Divorce/Child Custody back in 2015. Not only did she sit down and take the time to get the big picture of what was going on in my life, she was direct and to the point about how she could help me. I contacted her again in 2019 to resolve issues regarding my ex’s contempt of the Marriage Settlement Agreement and all went smoothly. Everything was handled out of court!

My ex-husband and I were at an impasse on a separation agreement. Once Laurie and her team stepped in, we were able to reach agreement and finalize the divorce. I received regular updates and clear instructions on what I needed to do. She made a difficult process much more manageable!

She was timely and thorough. Extremely personable and responsive, especially considering I reached out only a few weeks before my wedding. Highly recommend
