Laura Baluch and her staff did an excellent job with my divorce. Many times the man is on unequal footing in a divorce especially when children are involved, but she makes sure that your rights and the rights of your children are are put first. What many people forget, there isn't a winner or loser in a divorce and custody battle...everyone loses except the attorneys, but that's not their fault, it's just the way the system works. I won't lie, Laura is more expensive that many other attorneys in the area, but she is worth every penny. Laura is extremely hardworking and truly cares about your case. Many other attorneys, with long tenures, simply don't care anymore and will nickel and dime you to death and are only there to collect a paycheck. Laura doesn't just sit idly by and just go with the flow. She works hard to fight for you and provides you with detailed information and always keeps you informed regarding the status of your case. I know that without the services of attorney Baluch, my divorce wouldn't have come out as favorable as it did. I hope to never have to use her again, but if I ever need a family law attorney again, she will be the ONLY attorney I call.

I hired Laura for my divorce/family law matter. She was recommended to me and I can't tell you how impressed I was with her. She listened to me and responded. She is was able to get me through a tough patch in my life. She was able to help me understand the proper procedures and fought for what I deserved. I am thrilled with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone!

I was waiting to post a review until my divorce was finalized, as I have had bad experiences with lawyers before. Couldn't be happier with her services! I was very worried going into my divorce, but Laura was straight forward, and didn't promise on anything she wouldn't be able to deliver. Her and her team guided me through the process clearly and efficiently. I would recommend her to anyone!

I have hired attorneys in the past and was left with the feeling that my voice didn't matter. Being charged for the smallest things, even making a single copy and postage to mail a letter, seemed to be more of a priority. I had the exact opposite experience with Ms. Baluch. She really listened to me, fought for what I wanted, and didn't nickel and dime me for every little thing which was appreciated. Communication with her and her staff was great and put my mind at ease during a very stressful time. I highly recommend her!

I have had to use a few lawyers over the years, and I can tell you that Laura Baluch is hands down the best divorce/family law lawyer I have ever used. Her compassion for her clients is like no other, and she will work to get everything you need till the very end, no matter how long it takes. I am so grateful for everything she’s done for myself and my family. If you’re looking for a lawyer who won’t back down, who listens to your needs and wants, then I highly suggest using Laura Baluch.

If you are looking for a divorce lawyer, then Ms.Baluch is your Lawyer. she is a confident, friendly, professional, and serious lawyer. I went to meet with her for a preliminary consultation, by the time I left her office I had already made up my mind. Ms.Baluch comes to court prepared and ready to fight for you. She is excellent. I will highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great and an experienced attorney.

My custody case was aged and extremely complex at best. I didn't know what could be done for me, if anything. I was afraid that the more time went by, the less of a chance I had at being awarded custody, which was the best thing for my son. I was very frustrated and mentally worn down by the time I got to Laura. She was very meticulous and left nothing to chance. I no longer felt like I was at the mercy of a legal system that was becoming more difficult to understand by the day. The guessing game was over, she kept in constant contact with me and truly cared about everything that happened. No question ever went unanswered, nor problem unaddressed. I would recommend her to anyone, she is a machine of brains and determination. P.J.

I called and because of the timeframe in which I needed an attorney, she was unable to assist. However, she did provide me with an excellent referral. Thank You, Ms. Baluch!
