Not as expected, as I relied on google reviews to make the choice the wrong choice to pick Laurie to handle my legal matter. I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Laurie. From the start, communication was poor and inconsistent. Despite her promises of being 'responsive' and 'understanding,' I often found myself waiting days for a reply to important questions. When she did respond, the advice was vague and unhelpful. She seemed more interested in billing me than in genuinely helping me through the legal process. I would not recommend their services to anyone going through such a difficult time."

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Laurie regarding a family law lawyer. Her communication skills were abysmal, making it incredibly frustrating to get updates on my case. Despite numerous attempts to contact them, I faced consistent roadblocks, and my concerns were often ignored.
To make matters worse, the results of her representation were nothing short of horrible. I had expected a certain level of expertise in family law matters, but unfortunately, the outcome was far from satisfactory.
Adding to the frustration, I was denied any form of refund despite the lackluster service and poor results. It's disheartening to see such a lack of accountability for subpar performance. As it was agreed upon in the retainer that she would no longer honor.
What's even more concerning is that, after expressing my dissatisfaction, I found myself blocked from their contact number as my calls did not go through, my emails went unanswered and messages were undeliverable. This lack of professionalism and refusal to address concerns only added to the overall negative experience.
I would strongly advise anyone considering Laurie to proceed with caution and explore alternative options. My experience left much to be desired, and I hope others can make more informed decisions when seeking legal representation in family law matters.
I wish I had known earlier that most of their google reviews are misleading and seem to be paid reviews as her serve and experience was nothing like what others had said in their google reviews.

I regret to leave this review, but my recent experience with Laurie as a family law attorney was nothing short of disappointing. My pursuit of legal counsel during a sensitive and emotionally charged family matter left me feeling utterly let down.
From the onset, Laurie exhibited a lack of empathy and understanding towards the emotional turmoil surrounding my case. It was evident that their demeanor lacked the compassion and sensitivity crucially needed in handling family law matters. Instead of offering support and reassurance during this difficult time, the lawyer appeared disinterested and emotionally detached.
Communication was another major letdown. Their unresponsiveness and unwillingness to address my concerns or provide updates added to the distress of an already taxing situation. I felt unheard and marginalized throughout the entire process, as if my case was nothing more than a burden.
Moreover, Laurie seemed unprepared and unmotivated during our interactions. Their lack of enthusiasm and apparent disinterest in my case made me question their commitment to advocating for my family's best interests.
Regrettably, my experience with this lawyer fell far below even the most basic expectations. Their inability to empathize, communicate effectively, and demonstrate genuine concern for my situation was deeply disheartening.
In conclusion, I cannot, in good faith, recommend [Lawyer's Name] for anyone seeking emotional support and dedicated legal representation in family law matters. The absence of compassion and willingness to engage with clients' emotional needs makes them ill-suited for handling delicate family issues.

I can't say enough good things about Laurie. She handled a relocation for me and my son many moons ago, and she was just as amazing as she is now. She was heaven sent because she was tough when she had to be and thorough with all the paper work. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for an attorney that will have their back. She is wonderful.

Like Mickey, Laurie is, what in the baseball world would be called, a 5-tool player. She is Knowledgeable, Trustworthy, Respectful of ALL parties involved, Tough as nails when she needs to be and perhaps equally important, she possesses the crucial Mediation skills needed to settle cases before going to trial. She is a class act through and through. I would highly recommend her. Although there are no winners in a divorce, her focus was always to try to settle. In the end, her mediation skills skills saved our family assets from being completely depleted.

Ms Newmark handled a custody matter for me last year. She did a great job and really fought for me and my daughter. I have and would continue to recommend her. She is a great lawyer to have on your side.

Laurie handled my domestic violence case for me in Bergen County. She advocated for me and we did great. I ended up switching my divorce matter to her and so far am very happy. Even though she would always call me back, I only wish she had more support staff so she could turn around letters and stuff quicker than she does

Laurie handled a relocation for me and was the only attorney who cared enough to take my case at the last minute. She handled my case effectively and aggressively, but with poise and respect. I recommend her to anyone. Her firm is handling another case for me now and she is overlooking the case. I will be requesting her personal assistance with my new case as well.

I found Laurie to be supportive, authoritative, decisive, strategic and compassionate. My divorce was lengthy and difficult with complications that Laurie handled with professionalism and dedication beyond words.
There a difficult life passages that one would not want to journey alone and this journey was a step for step, side by side process that has left me a stronger person with a hopeful future.
I would gladly speak to her expertise with anyone.
