I met Ms. Ergood at a presentation she held to help senior citizens understand and navigate Medicaid. Her presentation was quite good and Incented me to contact her for my legal needs. Laura was very knowledgeable in matter of elder care and special needs. When I met her at her office, she provide thorough, thoughtful and insightful answers to my questions. After I selected Laura as my attorney, she and her staff were very professional and completed everything to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend Laura for any and all legal needs. She is compassionate, understanding and made me feel very comfortable with her. These are important attributes to me. I take great comfort in knowing all of my legal needs are complete and done well. I also know she will be there to assist my children with settling my estate when the time comes. I trust her.

On the plus side, Laura is responsive and comes across as a genuinely nice person. For a simple case that does not involve any complexity or require any legal research beyond a basic Google search, she would probably be just fine. Be forewarned, however, that when the going gets tough, she will bail on you. After accepting my case, as soon as it came to light that the case would require some effort and creativity, she simply mailed me my retainer back and left me stranded, without any discussion or heads up. To avoid the possibility of having to start over at square one, save your time and money and go with someone else.

We have worked with Laura on a few Labor Issues and she was very professional and knowledgable about what we needed to do. I highly recommend her as an attorney that does really get back to you and if she is not available that day then she will call you back. That is a rare quality today.

About

While licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania since 1993, I have focused my practice in New Jersey. I began my law career working for the Honorable John A. Fratto, a criminal law judge in Camden County, New Jersey. From there I worked for a prominent civil litigation defense firm until I found my calling as a Camden County Prosecutor. Working for then prosecutor Lee Solomon, I developed my negotiation and litigation skills as well as an ability to work with people from many different backgrounds. After six years at the prosecutor's office, I was hired to work as a Deputy Attorney General for the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice in the Organized Crime and Racketeering Bureau. Here I gained experience in the legal aspects of the investigative stages of a criminal prosecution and dealing with the real life criminal underworld. After almost a decade of practicing criminal law and working for the government, I decided to open my own law practice with a focus on Estate Planning. For the past six years, I have been helping my clients create their estate plans and the legal documents required to solidify those plans. I am always proud of my clients who have taken the time to complete and update their estate plans because this is such an important aspect of their family and financial well being. During this time, I was fortunate to have also been employed as General Counsel for a medium sized mortgage banking company where I managed the legal matters the company faced on a daily basis. The majority of my time was spent on Employment Law and Mortgage and Banking Law compliance issues. Compliance was so important due to the volume of existing laws and regulations. This is when I realized how important it is for all companies to make sure that their policies and procedure are compliant with the laundry list of federal and state employment laws and regulations they may be subject to. A focus on employment law compliance and dealing with every day employee issues in accordance with the many laws on the books will save a company from employee complaints, litigation, huge damages awards, back pay, and government fines and penalties. I am committed to guiding and working with my clients to help them focus on the importance of Estate Planning, Business Succession Planning, Elder Law isssues and Employment policies and procedures that will protect them, their families, their businesses and employees now and in the future.
