Here’s what our clients who are mental health professionals are saying:

“The process was smooth and went quickly, they were able to help me in a timely manner and made sure I understood the moving pieces along the way. Laurie was very knowledgeable in the details of my matter and took the time to explain things to me in a way that I could understand.”

Christie Matlosz, Fresh Start Counseling, PA

“Laurie Lee and her team have been tremendously helpful with several issues that have arisen over the past couple of years. Not only is Laurie Lee a great attorney, she is also a phenomenal business coach.”

Amanda Hannah, River's Edge Counseling Center

“I’d give them 6 stars if I could. As a mental health practice owner I’ve always found the legal side of business to be intimidating and quite frankly- scary!  I never doubt that I’ll receive top notch service from them and feel very confident in their expertise in the mental health space.”

Rachel Cohen, Seaside Counseling Center, LLC
