Reviews

When paying for legal advice, you want to make sure you pay for good advice. Laura Keene is honest, fair, and professional. I feel like she gives clients a good value because she knows the law so well and adequately prepares her clients for what to expect from the legal system. She doesn't coddle or encourage you to waste legal fees with unnecessary issues. When you're being dramatic, she will tell you. When you need to focus on what's most important she will help make those decisions real clear. She and her staff are thorough, work well as a team, and do not waste time or money. Hiring Laura Keene was the best decision in closing out a very difficult chapter of my life.
Not sure how the experience is for people who are actually seen, but after already making an appointment, my family member was denied representation and rudely told to leave by one of the paralegal associates due to one of the attorney's conflicts of interest. A simple, polite no would have done for someone going through an already stressful separation.
I cannot imagine worse legal representation. 10 years and about $140,000 and she finally won custody transfer only to have it overturned by an appeals court 5 months later, because she failed to file a proper Notice of Hearing. She is incredibly overbooked and unavailable, refuses to talk on the phone, yet skims letters. She is over-confident often only asking only a few questions during depositions and voluntarily relinquishing precious court time dedicated to her clients. - At one of many final hearings, we waited months and months for two days on the court's calendar, because we needed the extra time. Day 2 was allocated to me, yet at about 10:00 a.m., she voluntarily and confidently relinquished the remainder of the 5 hours allocated to me, because she'd already covered my arguments. - Yet, she utterly failed to discuss a tenth of what needed to be presented. - STAY AWAY.
Top notch, the best(nice folks as well).
