What her clients have said:

“If it’s going to be a fight, you need Laura Butler on your side.”

“Laura Butler is always prepared.  I never saw her surprised in or out of court.  She treats all adversaries with respect, and then proceeds to dismantle them.  When I saw how well she knew and could quickly recall the details of my case in court, I was amazed.”

“Five words: ‘I like to be perfect.’ These are the words you want and need your attorney to say, and they are a direct quote from Laura Butler.  She represented me in my very contentious separation and divorce.  I hired her after my first attorney refused to return my calls for ten days.  Laura has always been incredibly professional, punctual and responsive.”
