Please whatever you do do not waste your time. I have never had someone hang up on me like she did. Most awkward experience I've ever had. Not only did I get hanged up on she called me stupid??? Now I will be the first one to tell you I don't know anything about laws hence while I was seeking legal representation. If you don't mind being belittled and have someone talking to you in the most condescending way I have ever heard then she might fit what you're looking for. From my hour experience with her I can tell you she displays no empathy or trust in her clients. She was very weird oh and the best part she told me that my ex spouse who is an absent father shouldn't have to pay me child support since my boyfriend and I just bought a house...???? Ya super weird.... read more

She gets one for doing her job with the LEAST AMOUNT OF EFFORT!!! Yes she will hang up on you!!! Yes, she talks like a sailor! That I didn't mind or the blunt forwardness.. but her lack of personal attention and follow through SUCKS! I had to file my own paperwork with the courts!! Which caused my 2nd delimna . I pay you how much and I still need to do your job? My last attorney filed everything for me!! I found out after there was a judgement awarded AGAINST me because my paperwork wasn't turned in. I didn't read an email she was on vacation during this time. Not only that I swear her associate or assistant did all the work because I kept having to correct times and wording,etc...she was also strict on being paid before doing anything above my first deposit..and was a pain in the ass getting her a $2,000 cashiers check because her doors NEVER open! On top of all of that she was nice enough to give me a courtesy email after no longer representing me saying I needed to go to the courthouse and guess what? She didn't forward the court my NEW ADDRESS I had during the original battle..,so now I GET to pay ANOTHER ATTORNEY to reverse the same freaking judgement I just paid her for!!!! It also took 2 months to get my $130 refund back...stating my new address wasn't any good!! Oddly enough I get every other BILL here!!! Stay AWAY!!!! read more

She was my son's attorney for his divorce, he paid her v11,000 cash, she did absolutely nothing for him and just all of a sudden drops him for no reason. Not a good recommendation, she was rude and not professional at all. read more

Here is another poor performance yelp regarding LAURIE CLARKE and her business practice and unethical conduct. I retained Laurie Clarke to represent me in my divorce. My experience has been totally disappointing. The lack of communication between Ms. Clarke and her assistant, Shawna Leslie, was appalling. I make an appointment thru Shawna Leslie to see Ms. Clarke, I arrive for my appointment and Ms. Clarke did not have a clue that I was coming, hence the sweat wearing attorney was not prepared whatsoever to see me. I found Ms CLARKE to be condescending, unprofessional and rude. She actually accused me of being on medication or drugs as I wasn't agreeing with her. That was the last straw. I fired her and her assistant as I determined I had no confidence whatsoever in her ability to represent me. Ms. Clarke has lost her purpose, and should retire rather than continue ripping people off. If I didn't have to give her the lowest star rating, I wouldn't have even give her one star. So if you don't mind being treated less than, go with LAURIE CLARKE or find an attorney that actually has your best interest at heart and not bleed you dry with nothing to show for it. read more

I had Laurie in my 6th grade classroom and she was an excellent student at that time. More recently we had family papers to assemble. Laurie did the work for a prenup for my mother in law, and a will for her. Laurie did very high quality work. When it came time to execute the will, everything was in perfect order and it took us less than a month to close the estate. read more

Laurie Clark appeared like she could be helpful during the first meeting/consultation with her. She made a lot of promising statements that never came true and she is a very expensive attorney. As my case progressed regarding a divorce, she insulted me via emails and my family members- specifically of a different ethnicity calling them "penniless" in written email. She was extremely inpatient and would make personal insults to me during meetings. Telling me her clients that "don't even read understand this." She failed to explain things appropriately, even after I asked for clarification. Mrs. Clark stated that I'm educated so I should know already, even after I clarified that my degree has nothing to do with law and I have never gone through a divorce so I wouldn't know. My ex's attorney showed more personal kindness to me than my own. Laurie would treat myself stupid along with other individuals I had in meetings for my emotional support just to get through a meeting with her. I spent a lot of time researching facts outside of meeting with her. She focused more on her payments and money than on my case. Which I had always paid on time. I couldn't fire her because I was in too deep financially to start with another attorney and I needed my divorce done as soon as possible and not delayed further. In the end she represented me poorly and the case was not resolved in my best interest- which I am paying for to date. She ignored my concerns of threats my ex had done to me during the process and I now have a restraining order approved because a judge heard me. I spent a lot of time gathering information only to have her say it was not needed later even though just the few weeks bedsore she acted like it was the priority. She did not file initial documents in a timely manner and that forced me to have to pay around $2,500 again just to get the process going correctly. At the end of the day I was focused on my house I bought to raise my kids prior to the marriage. After the case was "completed" I let the attorney know I would have to make *** payments until I got the loan approved to save my house and pay my ex off. Within two months after paying her over $**,*** on time- she then went and took out a lien on my property for her remaining $3,000 without a phone call requesting the money; without an email reminder of payment; without a notice stating this is what she is planning to do unless a payment was received. She knew the deepest weakness in my heart and she went after it simply for money. She appears willing to work with someone but you quickly realize it is only about money. I paid my owed bill in full and she still has not sent me a paid invoice- which has always been done the date of payment and she has not pulled the lean off my property stating all these excuses why she can't get to the court house even though her legal assistant is available. Do not hire this attorney unless you want to be treated poorly; focus only on paying high amounts of money for jobs having to be redone; and in the end having poor representation. It was not worth it as a single mom in my case and I have now met other friends who had used her and they also experienced similar things. I would file a complaint with the law board but those don't go anywhere because you have to almost prove a criminal act and those are even questionable if the law board will do anything. This is evidenced in many ethical complaints brought forward to the board and later lawyers are tried in criminal cases and the board still has done nothing ethically or with sanctions to protect consumers. Protect yourself and find a different attorney than Laurie Clark! One single parent to another!!! read more
