"Laurel Hook and her team at SKH are amazing. After working with Laurel we were beyond pleased with the resolution of our complex, family court matter. Hands down we recommend you seek her for representation should you ever need someone. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, proactive, and she is the person you want to have with you for the things that matter most."
"I worked through a very difficult 2-year divorce, which resulted in trial. The managed, responsible, respectable, strategic and caring approach Joel, his team and broader firm demonstrated throughout the process, was absolutely incredible. I have never felt so confident or safe in what was a very difficult situation."
