Lara is an outstanding Family Law attorney; she is extremely ethical and highly intelligent. Her ability to quickly understand the most complex issues and develop winning strategies is superb. Lara knows the Supreme and Family Courts’ players and processes inside and out. Lara has been my back bone for over two years supporting me throughout the most difficult times and providing me not only with the right legal advise, but also with the peace of mind I needed day over day, year over year. I trust Lara with my heart, as I know she tirelessly works to achieve the best possible outcome for my child and me within the boundaries of the Law. Lara approaches the most intense and stressful situations in a calm and compassionate manner with superb knowledge and strategic application of the Law.

My ex-husband an I used Lara for our mediation. She kept us calm when it got a little heated and managed to not only provide us with perfect legal guidance - she also made the entire process easier for us emotionally via her genuine, kind and patient personality. I can not speak highly enough of her and (as a result) already recommended her in my circle friends and business associates.

Hiring Lara was the best decision I could have made. Lara’s work is thorough, she returns calls, emails and text promptly. I appreciated how considerate she is, and the ease of working with her.

After Vetting other Attorneys in her Field with No Success, I Hired Mrs. Traum Immediately, she was a breath of fresh Air. She Clearly & Efficiently Communicated at All Times. Gave Great Advice on how To Proceed with My Case. Understood my urgency & managed my expectations. She was personable, easy to communicate with, & highly knowledgeable. I have & will continue to highly recommend her and she will be my "go to" attorney for matters of this nature in the future. Smooth Sailing from Beginning to End.

Working with Lara Traum is such a wonderful experience. I consulted with her on a number of issues ranging from estate planning, adoption, and real estate concerns. She was efficient, helpful, and above all, she really seems like she cares about what you need as a client. She would go above and beyond to help reach the outcome that is right for you. I could not recommend her more highly for anyone looking for family law needs.
