Laurie specializes in all types of adoptions including private domestic adoptions, agency assisted adoptions and finalizations, and finalizations of international adoption placements.

Laurie received her undergraduate degree from Cornell University and her law degree from Boston University School of Law.

In October, 2007, Laurie was honored by the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (www.ccainstitute.org) as a 2007 Angel in Adoption. The Angels in Adoption Program is CCAI's signature public awareness program and provides an opportunity to all members of the U.S. Congress to honor the work of their constituents who have enriched the lives of children through adoption. Laurie was nominated by Congresswoman Nita Lowey for her outstanding example and commitment to promoting adoption.
