Laura really helped us get our child custody case resolved in a relatively short period of time. We provided her with information/ behaviors and she quarterbacked the process to get us to resolution. She regularly communicated results and next steps. She is very knowledgeable about the legal system and family law. Don't let her soft spoken demeanor fool you, this lawyer can fight. It is also obvious to see that she is highly respected by her peers and the presiding judges. This is a scary process for anyone to go through; Laura made us feel more comfortable. She regularly re-assured us that we were doing a good thing for our child. She is positive person who kept us moving toward the final goal. She worked with us to allow us to make payments to cover her fee - which was really appreciated.
Ms. Horner has the experience to litigate many kinds of cases. Mine in particular was rather acromonious and Ms. Horner kept pressure on the other side and I got the results I wanted.
Laura was recomend to me by another lawyer. This was the game changer i needed! I have been dealing with a very interesting divorce. Anything and everything has happened. Laura was thrown in after 8 months of crazyness. But she was up to the task. Within a couple weeks. I have visatation. Not having it for the past 5 months. She pressed the judge for more and he excepted. She works tirelessly for my boys and I. Most people have a problem connecting with there lawyers. I have put that to the test. She gets back to you. One of the biggest issues with lawyers. She tells me the best route to go. What should be done first. And at this point i trust her with my life! She will do or almost die trying to get what you want done! I will bet my life on this magic woman!! Side note. Her billing is not normal. She bills you what time she spends on set task. Had two other lawyers and compared. She is literally the only honest lawyer in the book! That is truly saying something right there.
Laura provided a good strategic approach, line of questioning, and most importantly, control over the petitioner's desire and ability to invoke extraneous information into the hearing. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
During this difficult time Laura and her assistant Anne were my rock! I was very explicit in what i wanted and Laura delivered. In some instances I thought I wanted one thing but she did what was best for me and my situation. I can't thank her enough, for the relief and peace that she was able to help me achieve. I actually filed in 2013 and decided not to go through with it, based on my experience with her previously it was a no brainier for me to go with her the second time, for the same divorce!
Laura was professional and formal, got our child support modification and clarification all done in one court date, was very respectful of what we needed and wanted, and worked in our best interest
I can’t convey how wonderful Laura has been in helping get through a dark time in life. We often start out with very good intentions in whatever life path we choose and sometimes things go awry. Laura was so professional with the perfect amount of compassion. She listens and offers fair resolutions and possibilities. She definitely walks beside you through the fire and see’s that everyone involved can heal and move forward with their new path. Her continued respect for everyone involved through this process has really allowed everyone to feel comfort and secure and positive about the future. I cherish Laura and commend her for being an expert in her profession. I hold her in the highest regards and will always refer anyone to her that’s seeking help and respresention.
Laura was referred by a lifelong friend who used her services, and spoke very highly of her. I consulted with Laura with my case and although the legal process is never quick enough for me, I got out of the way and let Laura do her job. Laura was attentive to my desires for my case and in the end my petitioner got the short end of the stick. My future legal matters will be handled by Laura as I was completely satisfied.
Laura was an amazing attorney. She answered any question I had with promptness and accuracy and never failed to give me the best advice. She got me a child support order on our first court date! I started receiving the funds through the state from my son's mothers paycheck almost immediately. I am a father with primary custody of my son thanks to Laura Horner.
Laura was always on point, knows the law from all angles, and represents herself and her clients with fervor. I just wanted to share my thank you text I sent to Laura right after the divorce was finialized: THANK YOU LAURA!!!! You are unbelievably great at what you do. You squeeze everything possible out from all angles, all the while keeping your ethics and integrity on full display. It's impressive to see you run over another lawyer without crossing any lines. Thank you again for everything. I'll talk to you very soon.
