• “I came to Schoonmaker George at a moment when I had very little control and very little support. I am a lawyer myself, and I knew how critical it was to find the right legal team. After my initial consultation within the firm, it became clear that Jill and Laura were the right fit for my case and for me as a person.

  Laura is incredibly impressive. She is smart, deeply knowledgeable, and has an excellent handle on the legal system, but what sets her apart is how measured, understanding, and compassionate she is. When I spoke with her, I always felt like I was talking to a real human being who truly cared, while also fully understanding how to navigate my concerns within the legal framework we were dealing with.

  Laura was exceptional at helping me balance what I hoped for with what was realistically achievable. She was honest and direct, always helping me understand what was legitimate to push for and what was simply not possible, without ever being dismissive. That clarity and steadiness made an enormous difference for me throughout the process. She was truly wonderful to work with.”-Former Client
