Laura is extremely knowledgeable and answered every question I had concerning my case no matter how dumb or insignificant I thought it was. She responds promptly even though she has many other cases she's working on. Honestly she treated me as a friend and not like a client. Her prices are extremely reasonable. I shopped around for family court lawyers and they wanted triple the price of her retainer fee. She was Highly recommended from other lawyers that were not available to take my case. I was not paid for this review or have any other incentives to write this review. I Honestly want any potential clients who wants a caring, competent, reasonably priced lawyer to know she is the cream of the crop. If I could give her one hundred stars I would!!!!!

Laura is the best Divorce Attorney EVER. She is compassionate, kind, honest, and she will fight for your rights. Laura kept me calm throughout the process. She totally understood my situation and she FOUGHT for me. Thank you, Laura, for helping me get what was rightfully mine. God places people in your life for a reason and I thank God for Laura. She is stuck with me for life. If you want a Divorce Attorney who will fight for you, look no further.

Laura represented me years ago. My sons mother could be summed up in one word. Evil. Laura helped my son and I when I had no hope. I am forever grateful, and recommend her regarding family court issues any chance I get. Thank you Laura!

I hired laura because a family friend recommended her. I waited to write this bc she is so rude and I dont want her to reach out to me for being honest. Laura knows the law but she is so overwhelmed that she filed things late all the time and she almost never makes time to email or call back. I had to chase her down all the time. I guess she takes on every case she can bc it makes her money but she doesn’t even have a paralegal so she makes herself and her client look foolish when she’s overwhelmed and unprepared. Not worth the time or money. Don’t ruin your case by using her. Maybe if she slows down she’ll be better.

You may want to pay attention to the most recent reviews because I had a similar experience with her for a custody case. Best advice I could give her…please get a paralegal! It was tough having to chase her down to get answers to my emails and, all the while, she never explained the process or her strategy. She seems very capable but overextended trying to do it all by herself. All I cared about was my case and that didn’t get much priority, so there were dropped balls throughout or things I had to be on top of with her. Because I had to learn by experience (rather than by being educated), there are some things I will handle very differently now that I know better.

Laura did not help me understand anything about divorce or custody. She was very passive aggressive and unprofessional in the court room and to the other party. She was very rude, yells and rolls her eyes! I felt didn’t help guide me the right way. After reading these reviews she must of had people paid to write these reviews!

I had a nasty custody battle and divorce. I still do not feel educated on my rights at all. Ms. Brooks advised me to file a PFA, then advised me to drop it at the hearing (despite more acts of abuse and no contact violations in between) She completely misled me on “stipulation of dismissal and interim custody agreement”. My emotionally and physically abusive ex threw out marital property, stole checks, forged my name, and accused me of stealing from the home. She did not answer my questions and I was forced to sign another insurance check in court (at custody hearing) Ms. Brooks told me to sign it and it would be worked out in the ancillary hearing.. between the custody hearing and divorce pretrial she continually asked about the paperwork, but did not answer my questions regarding the fraud and how it would be worked out. She then filed a motion to drop me as a client days before the pretrial conference- since i didn’t send the papers back without my questions being answered- as I didn’t want to get screwed. So I was left at pretrial conference alone to defend myself against another attorney - who made it clear she & ms brooks discussed my case a lot during their personal relationship.. The worst of it all is that she forwarded my emails to my ex’s attorney without my consent. I believed i was speaking in confidence and my own emails to my lawyer were entered as evidence against me.. and had I known my ex would have seen it- i wouldn’t have sent it at all. That significantly strained the relationship as I wasn’t sure how to speak to her about anything anymore for fear of my ex. I made it clear I was trying to ensure I got full custody- at least primary residency, and specifically asked for a lawyer understanding narcissism and emotional abuse. I strongly advise a different attorney - especially if you are the victim of abuse.

Laura represented me for over 6 years of a nightmare custody battle that would not have been tolerable without her professionalism and support. She was referred to me by a coworker whose fiance worked at the court house. Her fiance said that she is the number one attorney for custody cases and that everyone in the court house knows how great she is. This statement could not be more accurate. Her expertise, knowledge and overall passion for her clients, the child involved and the outcomes is admirable. From my very first interaction with Laura she was transparent and beyond empathetic to my situation. She cares deeply about her clients and I never doubted that she had my best interest throughout the entire court battle. Laura had amazing follow up and communication. She was quick to respond to my emails, phone calls or text messages. She kept me and my husband informed every step of the way. We knew when motions were filed and documents were submitted. We were always aware of the costs associated and the billing of her time and custody activities was always clear and specific to whatever charges were assessed. Laura was accessible to both myself and my husband for advice on issues that would constantly come up from emails or texts from my sons father. She would provide counsel and communicate with the attorney of my ex to ensure that court orders were being followed. Laura not only gave advice on every situation that we encountered but helped us to navigate through the legalities and ensured that we were always doing the best thing for my son. In the court room Laura is passionate and diligent. She is prepared for anything and carries herself gracefully but with drive and commitment to ensure that her clients case is delivered with the facts and supported with the proper documentation. She does not allow her clients to take the stand without feeling confident in her abilities to represent them. Laura speaks eloquently and is well educated in custody laws and guidelines. Laura is committed to providing the best outcomes and works so hard to make sure that the facts and truth are always clear when she presents your case. Laura does not allow a challenging situation or her personal opinions to get in the way of her court room execution. She knows how to present every aspect of the case and highlights the most important issues. She does not get thrown off by opposing counsel and can speak confidently to the best interest of a child as that is what was most important to me throughout the entire battle. It is because of Laura and her drive and commitment to me and my family that we won our fight and my son is now where he belongs. I cannot imagine working with any other attorney. We will forever recommend and endorse Laura for her services, professionalism and personal drive to help others.

I was really nervous about my child custody case because of how sensitive this area is and the fear I had of losing custody and/or time with my son. Laura naturally supported me through this process which provided me with more confidence in my case. Leading up to court she communicated with me promptly and explained the process clearly. Laura did a great job in the court room. I was so happy with the way she performed. She made the experienced lawyer the other party had look like an amateur. Ultimately, the judge ruled in my favor.

Laura was my lawyer during two rounds of a horrible custody battle. She went above and beyond to answer my questions and concerns. She was very knowledgeable and able to navigate a very difficult situation with my ex husband with ease.

Laura did an excellent job representing me and gave me legal advice on a personal level. Laura works very hard and was more then willing to fight for my best interests.

Laura is the best, beyond helpful, and sincere. I would have certainly been lost without her. My custody case was very stressful and painful to say the least. She advised me properly and pretty much held my hand through the whole process. To say that I'm grateful is an understatement. Thanks again Laura, sincerely!
