Cylkowski Law Office, P.A.

Honestly happy with Katherine Ray and the service she has provided me so far, she took over from my previous solicitors who were just dreadful and lacked the experience I needed I won’t name any names. I feel she is clear, concise and really explains the point and gets you to think, I noticed this when drafting my position statement. I would highly recommend her as she is very proactive she’s been on my case for a short while but so far I’ve been impressed with the results in a short period of time. thank you Katherine

Our family had a unique custody case that we were seeking help for. I called many firms in the area and they all made me feel like I was just a number. Cylkowski Law Office immediately reached out to me and gave me an honest and thorough consultation on what my options were and what my next steps looked like. We worked with Katherine for our matter and could not have asked for better partnership and representation. Katherine was EXTREMELY communicative and always available and accessible to us whenever we had questions or concerns. Every step of the way she was there to explain all the legal jargon, kept us in the loop, and always let us know what to expect and what was expected of us. Katherine expertly and compassionately guided us through this tough and scary process. We truly felt like we had representation that had our family's best interest at heart and went to bat for us to get the best outcome. Katherine is clearly well respected in her field, knows the family law system well, and is confident in her practice. We highly recommend Katherine at Cylkowski law.

By far the absolute WORST lawyer I have ever had to deal with. She "represented" my mom in my parents divorce. She went out of her way to drag myself and my sister (both in our 30s) into our parents divorce when it was absolutely not needed. She tried to rob myself of upwards of $20k by accusing myself and my father of being "in cahoots" together because I had a bank account set up by my dad YEARS ago, which he told them about going into the divorce (was a business bank account). I had to spend hours gathering information and have the displeasure of talking to Laurie on the phone to prove to her that the money in the account was mine and being used by me, I had hard facts and she still wouldn't let it go. She also went after my sister for money my dad "possibly" gave her to use towards her college tuition, because that is so uncommon for parents to do... She also is by far the most rude, disrespectful and unprofessional person I have ever met. I had to speak with her on the phone about the above bank account and told her I left about $20k in the bank account that has mine and my dads name on it to use as a savings for a down payment on a house. Her exact words to me were "that is not enough money for a down payment". Well sorry I can't scam my clients out of thousands of dollars like you Laurie to afford a million dollar house, but $20k to most people is way more then enough for a down payment (worked for me, I got approved with it for a house). People, there are a TON of other good qualified lawyers out there, ones that won't drag family members into a divorce that they have nothing to do with, especially kids, of any age. Do your research. Laurie has a HUGE REPUTATION of running the costs up on lawyer and legal fees to benefit herself. Ask any divorce lawyer in the metro and they will tell you the same thing about her, she wastes thousands of dollars to do nothing to benefit her clients. She wasted thousands of dollars of BOTH my parents money, to accomplish nothing. Long and short of it, if I could give her a negative star I would. She is horrible, condescending and the most unprofessional lawyer I have ever had to talk to. She did nothing to help either one of my parents, unfortunately my mom was not smart enough to realize this.

Laurie helped me through the most difficult experience in my life (a divorce after a 29-year marriage) with an empathetic ear and a sharp focus on the important issues. She explained everything to me clearly and helped me weigh my options. In court, she was extremely prepared, organized and well-spoken. Although I was terrified and anxious, she made me feel like I was in good hands. She worked so hard to make sure I got a fair settlement and continues to work with me as needed to make sure my ex-husband is complying with court orders. I don't think I could have made it through without her!!

Laurie represented me in my divorce. She was incredibly professional, she is tough and honest and willing to fight for her clients. She helped me through one of the toughest times of my life and got me a settlement that was more than I could’ve hoped for. She is efficient and fair and she and her staff work very quickly.
