Working with Laura
"Writing a public testimonial for the person who helped save me from a toxic marriage is loaded with emotion. Nobody comes to this most important decision of their lives lightly. I was terrified when I started the process.
From my first interaction with the firm, everybody took the time to get to know me as a human, my story, and my priorities. Even though I was referred to Dawn Smith, Sandy gently recommended Laura as a better fit for my personality and case. This recommendation locked me in - I knew everybody there would take care of me and my daughter's wellbeing first. I also knew I could go about my divorce the way I wanted - with dignity, civility, and *not* a tit for tat mentality.
Laura always allowed me to make my own choices, advising me of all the pros and cons. She prioritized me when circumstances escalated, and ensured my safety. The process was grueling, but I had unwavering confidence in her as my counsel. Her extensive experience with GA cases, specific judges and counties, and nuanced interpretations of evidence, gave me a hard, much needed look at how things really go in divorce. My ex and I were able to settle in mediation, in huge part due to how she negotiated with (multiple) opposing counsels. Settling a divorce (hopefully) means each party gets what is most important to them. Not that they get *all* they want. What a lesson that was! Laura and I strategized for hours leading up to mediations about my priorities. We keept the big picture and our desired outcome in mind. Laura helped me keep my emotions steady, helping me make sound decisions to craft the future I envisioned for my family.
Laura is the most detail oriented, prepared, professional I know - nothing escapes her eye. Her ability to work efficiently through long hours of mediation and turn things around in a matter of hours is beyond impressive. She caught problems in the opposing party’s drafts. She dotted every I and crossed every T, to the smallest detail. She created elaborate spreadsheets with incomes and options, ahead of substantive conversations. It’s hard to overstate her level of preparation. She saved my mental health and put me on a much better path.
Laura is an angel from heaven in an attorney’s body, put here to protect people going through this life change, especially women who have been mistreated and are trying to rebuild their lives. This firm’s passion for their clients oozes in every conversation. I will always have tremendous gratitude for everyone at Evolve and their deep impact on mine and my child’s life. I am almost one year out from my divorce and I am living the life of my dreams, with ease.
I recommend Laura to everybody who comes to talk to me about what direction they should take."
