What Our Clients Are Saying

Laurel Tesmer is without a doubt the best family law and estate attorney that I know - and I know a LOT of them. While I haven’t had the pleasure to work with her partner, I know that anyone with whom Laurel works is also incredible. As a financial advisor who works with high income and high net worth clients, my clientele regularly need family law and estate planning help. I am extremely cautious with the people I refer, so the greatest compliment that I can give Laurel is that I trust her implicitly with my clients. I’ve experienced Laurel’s work firsthand while doing joint meetings with clients. She has an incredible breadth of knowledge and is exceptionally trustworthy. I can’t say enough about the level of care and client service that she shows. This is especially important when dealing with the potentially sensitive situations that arise in family and estate law Thank you for all that you do for our clients, Laurel!

You'll never meet more honest Attorneys. From beginning to end they will help you. Laurel has handled things for us a couple of times, we wouldn't trust anyone else. Before finding McCart & Tesmer we were given false explanations which lead to more money and a bad end but that won't happen again, not with these ladies.
