I have used Laurie to assist me with several nasty family law matters over the years, and she is an absolutely amazing lawyer.
It would be impossible for me to give her a stronger recommendation!
In November of 2014 my ex and I attended a meditation session in which we established a CR2A and a Parenting Plan. During the meditation Laurie informed me that I could expect final documents drafted and ready to sign within 3 weeks. 7 months have passed and I am now facing a noncompliance fee from the courts, the pending closure of my case without the CR2A/Parenting Plan having been filed, and possible harm to my daughter from her mother's side of the family without the legal protection the CR2A and parenting plan would provide, and this is all a result of Laurie failing to follow through on her promise to submit said documents to the courts. After dozens of calls and emails spanning this 7 month period, Laurie has refused to take or respond to my calls/emails; 6 weeks ago her secretary informed me in no uncertain terms that Laurie would not interact with me in any capacity. 5 weeks ago I called again only to be informed that Laurie had gone home for the day, yet when I arrived less than an hour later she was clearly present in her office. She refuse to give me the original CR2A and Parenting Plan so that I could file them myself, since she had failed to do so, but assured me that 3 weeks from that day she would have the final documents drafted and ready to submit to the courts, a task that should have been complete in mid December of last year. 5 weeks have now passed since this last promise and yet she has once again failed to follow through with her promises, not so much as even reaching out to me to inform me she would need more time; what's more, she continues avoiding my calls and emails, refuses to respond, and has instructed security to escort me out should I drop by again. As of today I have given her until this coming Monday to have my documents ready, and should they not be, I will be filing a grievance against her with the Washington State Bar Association.
The following will now be purely opinion on my part. Laurie Gail Robertson appears to be actively subverting the intention behind the establishment of our CR2A/Parenting plan, which, when it comes to the safety and well-being of my child, is a blatant ethical violation. What's more, she has repeatedly promised to draft and submit these documents to the courts, yet fails to follow through, which leads me to question her integrity. It is my belief that Laurie is either willfully derelict in her duties, despite what harm it may indirectly cause to my daughter, and lacks even a shred of integrity, or she is incompetent as an attorney.
I would encourage you to seek counsel elsewhere.
And, when my ex refused to be reasonable at mediation, we just went to trial. Laurie did an incredible job at trial. We kicked ass! I am so grateful to her and her team for everything they have done for me and my kids. I highly recommend her!!! Thanks again for everything Laurie!!!!!
