I can't say enough about how helpful Laura was to me during a time of personal trauma and divorce. Her guidance was objective and valuable with a human touch of caring and kindness that is so appreciated. My case was closed in an extremely timely manner, and Laura's team was responsive and available throughout the process. I highly recommend Laura Fretland without hesitation.
Laura helped me navigate one of the more difficult situations with pragmatic guidance and expertise that I needed. And she was extremely helpful in understanding options and paths that fit my goals for resolution. All good things. And frankly found her style and compassion the best part of working with her. I'd highly recommend to anyone but particularly those that want fast, fair, and frank legal counsel.
Hired her for help with divorce/custody proceedings. Was very responsive and attentive in the begining. As the case progressed, she was less and less engaged in working on my case. The opposing counsel was quite aggressive and I suspect this had alot to do with her lack of engagement as the case progressed. I would do some calling around and research on child support information to help offset time and cost, but she didn't seem to care or want to do anything with the information I provided. The opportunities she did get engaged, she spent time playing phone tag with the opposing attorney/ legal aid, when I would have rather she got the child support case infront of the judge. At one court proceeding, I remember the judge addressed her and the opposing counsel and said that they should "stop wasting these clients money and wrap up this case." My funds were depleted long before I got completion on my case, even though she initially said it was so simple it could be wrapped up in 3 months. Ultimately she lost her zeal to represent me and dropped me 30 days before we had to go back to court. Had to hire 2nd attorney who not only had to file paperwork that she didn't do, but was able to get my divorce/child support proceedings completed in 3months, where I had been working with her for 9 months and had nothing to show for her services.
