Laurie W. Hall

Laurie is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. She graduated from White Station High School, and received her B.A. with honors from Hendrix College in 1998. Laurie spent her final year of college studying abroad at St. Peter's College, Oxford University, England. Laurie returned to Memphis to attend the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law, where she graduated in 2001. During law school, Laurie received the Dean's award for best legal memorandum.

Laurie began practicing law in 2001, working for both David E. Caywood and S. Denise McCrary before starting her own firm. Laurie's practice is primarily focused on family law, and she has both litigated and represented clients at mediation successfully on hundreds of cases. Laurie is also a trained collaborative practice attorney, which is an alternative to the traditional litigation-based divorce model. Laurie is a member of the Memphis Bar Association, Tennessee Bar Association, Memphis Collaborative Alliance, and National Association of Counsel for Children.

Divorce is a difficult process that must be approached with intense focus. Laurie partners with her clients to prepare for litigation and/or mediation. Fighting for your financial and parenting rights is the focus of Laurie's practice. Advising clients on the legal process is an essential duty of a competent attorney. Laurie walks her clients through each phase of separation and divorce. Your actions and discussions at the beginning of separation can impact your case later. Consulting with an attorney early is essential for building your best case.
