Laura is really good at what she does. She was on point and very helpful!!

Laura is an exemplary attorney who has a amazing skill set in the areas of matrimonial, custody and related litigation. She is a practical, insightful, effective, tough and compassionate litigator who is a true champion for her clients. I highly recommend her for anyone who finds themselves in need of solid guidance through a difficult chapter of life.

I found all of my communications with Laura to be honest, direct, professional and timely. She came highly recommended to me, from another attorney, as 'Someone who stayed on top of the courts and the opposing attorney to ensure the divorce cases were processed through the legal system as quickly as the law permits'. I found this to be absolutely true of Laura, as she was on top of every step of my divorce case, and managed to get the case processed in under a year. I did not need to manage or follow up with Laura at any step. She was on top of everything and only contacted me when necessary, therefore keeping my fees reduced. If I had questions, her answers were concise and helpful. If I had a question about something that wasn't happening for months she would tell me, "I know why you are asking me that, but don't worry about it now because it won't happen for months, and you don't need to pay me twice to answer that question." I quickly appreciated her approach which assisted me in remaining calm in a very emotional time. I loved that I only worked with her. She did not have an assistant contact me. All of my communications were directly with her therefore alleviating confusion, additional calls, and obviously less fees. Laura's memory is exceptional. She is laser focused on your discussions with her. I rarely had to remind her of a specific detail of a previous conversation. A simple word or two and she knew what I was speaking of. Laura's writing of legal documents to the other attorney and the judge were simply exceptional. Specific, direct, masterful and strong when needed, I told her more than once that her legal writing was to me, a form of art. My particular divorce case was not your average case and the 50/50 NYS no fault rule did not apply. Laura did a lot of extensive research of case study to determine what would be fair distribution under an extreme set of circumstances. I am proud to say we made legal history in our judicial district. I honestly felt, and continue to feel, she was heaven sent to me. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is kind and compassionate to your individual needs, but when she gets in that courtroom...she is a powerful force and she will fight for you. Laura has a lot of integrity. If she tells you your expectations are unrealistic, it is because they are. She will not make a false promise of an outcome that she can't make happen. She will also not lead you in a direction that might not benefit you. Call for a consultation. Everything that I heard of her work ethic, drive, communication and professionalism was 100 percent accurate.

Very caring attorney

I’m a Dad, and I did a thorough online search until I found Laura. I took my time to find the proper attorney for my case. My case was very difficult, had multiple aspects that needed careful attention by an extremely experienced litigator, not just an average lawyer.
It is enough to state that my twin were not born yet when I started the divorce proceeding against a very manipulative wife, and I was seeking a sole custody of the twin for the entire time.
My now Ex-wife made the already difficult case a complete mess. From filing multiple false family offense petitions in different counties, calling the CPS to file false reports, accusing a judge and the twin’s law-guardian as being biased and unethical. She kept changing attorneys because Laura was able to stop her from getting what she wanted, which is alienating the father from the twin’s lives.
When an unexpected custody ruling came out, granting my Ex the physical custody, Laura took the case to the appeal court, the decision was completely reversed and we won the physical custody on appeal. That’s how tough she is when she feels that justice was not served properly.
What I like most about Laura is the fact that she listens to her clients. She took the time to listen to me, absorb my anger through a very long and frustrating process, and kept me in the loop through the entire process. While she is listening, her brain does not stop working to find legal solutions to my needs. She will tell you the truth about your case, and how is the law will apply to it, not just what you want to hear.
Her motions are short and focused, but thoroughly crafted and to the point. The opposing party couldn’t argue her rational, that’s how good she is as a litigator. She is an extremely ethical attorney and knows her stuff very well.
If you are looking for a caring, reasonable and tough attorney, look no further. No one can beat Laura in a court setting.
Thank you very much for everything you have done and continue to do for me, and most importantly, for my kids.
