Laurie is dedicated to the highest standard of practice in the field of adoption law. She is nationally recognized for her expertise in adoption matters. Laurie understands, however, that her clients require and deserve more than just a knowledgeable and experienced adoption attorney.

Her work as an adoption attorney is much more than just a career - - it is a core part of who she is as a person. As an adoptee herself, she believes that building a family through adoption is extraordinary. Because of her commitment to adoption, her role in the adoption extends far beyond that of a typical attorney. She provides not only legal but also emotional support and guidance to all of her clients to help them through the adoption process. She is available to her clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. She is intimately familiar with each client and each child. Each adoption becomes a personal part of her life. Being an adoption attorney is, to her, rewarding, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Laurie cannot say that the adoption process is always easy - it can be complicated and emotional. Many families deciding to adopt a child have been through years of disappointing infertility treatments and have been waiting for a very long time to become parents. She recognizes that every day that passes waiting for a child can be very difficult. Most of Laurie's clients adopt a baby within nine months to one year (and some do it in a lot less time than that). Laurie will guide you through every step of the adoption process and help you in every way possible.
