Laurie Ummel did a fabulous job representing me in a child support case and kept me up to date every step of the way. She was a bit hard to get in touch with at times, perhaps due to a busy schedule. Bottom line, if you want positive results, and you are looking for an attorney who doesn't just look to get "the best deal for you", but strives to obtain a fair end result for all parties involved, then hire her!!!! In a world of where dad's have almost no rights, she helps mitigate that to the best of her legal abilities... She also works with you when making payment plans. I highly recommend her after a very pleasant experience considering the circumstances.

I hired Laurie to represent me in my divorce. She was straighforward with me from the beginning and worked to keep me informed, keep costs down, and be realisitc about what I could expect. In the end the results were very close to what she told me in the beginning. She was definitely the right choice for me.

After a lengthy divorce process (16 months), when it came to mediation Laurie was on my side. She showed her strengths in negotiation and knowledge of the process when confronted with counteroffers. Laurie showed me how to separate the emotional side of divorce to reality. I came out of mediation very happy with the results. We avoided trial, which would have been a tedious and expensive alternative. I highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a divorce attorney!

Laurie Ummel is an excellent divorce attorney. She is hardworking, trustworthy and a complete professional. While going through my divorce, she kept safe from an ex-spouse who used every trick in the book to make me look bad. She is especially proactive and plans ahead for trial and various other deliberations. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

Laurie was great at helping me separate the emotional turmoil of divorce from the business of divorce. This allowed me to prioritize and make good decisions. She was always an advocate for me and made it clear she was working to get me the best results. She was comfortable conferring with other lawyers who specialized in specific fields outside her own. She explained processes and timelines so I knew what to expect and when. She and her legal secretary kept me informed of developments with my case and were responsive to my questions and concerns. Without Laurie's help, I would not have fared as well as I did.

Laurie helped me through one of the most painful experiences I've had to go through. She was understanding and guided me through my divorce as gently and fairly as I could have hoped for. The outcome was positive and I feel like I was well taken care of.

I have to say I was less than impressed with Ms. Ummel. She was my cousin's attorney in a 3rd party custody case against me and while my attorney and I were very proactive filing everything on time if not ahead of it she filed responses late, did not submit a witness list, and more. For someone with such an impressive resume I really expected more.

I retained Laurie in my divorce proceedings. She is very nice, very cordial and its super easy the end up in long phone conversations with her ($$$$$). She would be a fantastic pal! However, she did not seem like she was actually ready to put up a fight for me regarding child custody, support, or asset division. What she had told me she would 'try' to ask for in the divorce was less than 20% of what my new attorney got for me financially speaking, and regarding the custody (even though there was documented proof of child neglect by my ex) she still seemed to want to compromise with his attorney and allow him residential time.

Laurie Ummel did a fabulous job representing me in a child support case and kept me up to date every step of the way. She was a bit hard to get in touch with at times, perhaps due to a busy schedule. Bottom line, if you want positive results, and you are looking for an attorney who doesn't just look to get "the best deal for you", but strives to obtain a fair end result for all parties involved, then hire her!!!! In a world of where dad's have almost no rights, she helps mitigate that to the best of her legal abilities... She also works with you when making payment plans. I highly recommend her after a very pleasant experience considering the circumstances.

I hired Laurie to represent me in my divorce. She was straighforward with me from the beginning and worked to keep me informed, keep costs down, and be realisitc about what I could expect. In the end the results were very close to what she told me in the beginning. She was definitely the right choice for me.

After a lengthy divorce process (16 months), when it came to mediation Laurie was on my side. She showed her strengths in negotiation and knowledge of the process when confronted with counteroffers. Laurie showed me how to separate the emotional side of divorce to reality. I came out of mediation very happy with the results. We avoided trial, which would have been a tedious and expensive alternative. I highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for a divorce attorney!

Laurie Ummel is an excellent divorce attorney. She is hardworking, trustworthy and a complete professional. While going through my divorce, she kept safe from an ex-spouse who used every trick in the book to make me look bad. She is especially proactive and plans ahead for trial and various other deliberations. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

Laurie was great at helping me separate the emotional turmoil of divorce from the business of divorce. This allowed me to prioritize and make good decisions. She was always an advocate for me and made it clear she was working to get me the best results. She was comfortable conferring with other lawyers who specialized in specific fields outside her own. She explained processes and timelines so I knew what to expect and when. She and her legal secretary kept me informed of developments with my case and were responsive to my questions and concerns. Without Laurie's help, I would not have fared as well as I did.

Laurie helped me through one of the most painful experiences I've had to go through. She was understanding and guided me through my divorce as gently and fairly as I could have hoped for. The outcome was positive and I feel like I was well taken care of.

I have to say I was less than impressed with Ms. Ummel. She was my cousin's attorney in a 3rd party custody case against me and while my attorney and I were very proactive filing everything on time if not ahead of it she filed responses late, did not submit a witness list, and more. For someone with such an impressive resume I really expected more.

I retained Laurie in my divorce proceedings. She is very nice, very cordial and its super easy the end up in long phone conversations with her ($$$$$). She would be a fantastic pal! However, she did not seem like she was actually ready to put up a fight for me regarding child custody, support, or asset division. What she had told me she would 'try' to ask for in the divorce was less than 20% of what my new attorney got for me financially speaking, and regarding the custody (even though there was documented proof of child neglect by my ex) she still seemed to want to compromise with his attorney and allow him residential time.
