Reviews of Atkinson Family Law (Attorney)

Christian Penney

Laura, I can not say enough about how great it was to have you for my independent legal advice aswell as mediation coaching.you were and are very knowledgeable there to guide me through the whole process and understanding my situation to the fullest and explaining what I needed to do. We had a mediator which I will not say the name but Laura found many mistakes and loop holes which could have lead to myself being in a very tough spot going forward. She was very responsive to all emails and calls. Laura has to be the best on the island when it comes to caring and knowing the situation. I will always have you in this new chapter of my life that I'm writing as I was so afraid but with your knowledge and commitment. This new start is nothing but great and I feel you played a huge role. Thanks so much. Best money ever spent in my entire life.

Laura has provided insightful, empathetic, and skillful legal services to me since 2011 during all phases of my family law journey. My experience with Laura is incredibly positive; she is very easy to talk to, is timely and responsive to my calls and emails, and always makes me feel listened to and understood. Laura is an outstanding professional who cares a great deal about her clients and knows her stuff. Her dedication, kindness, knowledge, and perseverance ensure the best outcomes for those she represents. She shepherded me through an extremely difficult divorce with custody and safety issues with the best interests of my child and myself at the forefront. I feel fully supported by Laura and am constantly impressed by her ability to resolve challenging, complicated situations. She is a warm, considerate person with a grounded, calm demeanour. I highly recommend her to friends, family, colleagues, or anyone seeking legal assistance from a compassionate, smart advocate.

Laura has provided excellent on-going service to me for nearly ten years. She's extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in all aspects of family law. She is compassionate and caring and made me feel - from our very first meeting all those years ago - that she would be by my side to help me every step of the way. Thank you Laura!

I certainly recommend Laura Atkinson as she worked closely with me to get my separation agreement and divorce completed in a timely fashion. She carefully explained all the different scenarios. Laura is an effective problem solver and a very skilled negotiator.

Laura Atkinson provided legal advise during a difficult separation and divorce through collaborative law. Laura was always informed, knowledgeable and fair when providing information and encouraged me to ask lots of questions. She helped me seek balance and fairness in my separation and I felt I was always in trustworthy hands. Laura did not lead me astray during this very stressful time in my life and my separation agreement has covered any issue that has come up over the last five years. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and keeping your best interest and unique need at the forefront of negotiations. Should the need arise I would not hesitate to seek representation from Laura again. Sheilah Frost

I would highly recommend Laura for legal assistance in any family law matter. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and will be your best advocate through a most difficult time. Laura has taken the stress away from me on many occasions. She has helped in looking after my legal rights and my entitlements. Laura dealt with my children’s father before and after our divorce regarding continued child support and spousal support and was a brilliant advocate for both. I remember a time when it was extremely challenging and Laura took away all my stress by saying something like “ Cathy, that is why I am here to deal with this so you don’t have to”. I felt like I was fighting the bully all by myself until she said that. I realized I was not alone and that Laura really had me and was looking after me. I am so very grateful to Laura for her expertise and skills over the years. She has a most gentle manner with you while being extremely effective in getting results in a timely manner and fashion. If you are needing an advocate for yourself and children I would not hesitate to use Laura. She will help you navigate through the difficulties and not waste your time and money doing so.
