After a divorce it becomes clear how hard it is as a man to make the right estimation regarding the amount of alimony necessary to avoid changes in the upbringing of your children compared to before the divorce. Fortunately, Ms L. Boomsma-Shriber provided me with the information needed to define the total amount very quickly. After a thorough identification of the financial situation before and after the divorce, everything was clearly and completely documented in one file. To characterize Ms L. Boomsma-Shriber in a few words: Proactive, clear, professional, great knowledge, trustworthy, committed and open.

Ms Boomsma stood by me in a difficult period of my life, during my divorce. Her characteristics are a efficient and goal-orientated professionality as well as a personal eye for the difficult emotional complications between both parties. Even though this was a serious case, we were able to relativize with some humour. I think it’s important to keep laughing in order to go through such a long process successfully.

Laura has given me trust in my case when I was in a very vulnerable period. She provided me with clear guidelines that I had to take into account and gave great recommendations. This made me feel reinforced and gave me hope for a good ending.

I am just a simple man with a simple budget. I moved and was looking for a new attorney, which lead me to Laura. During the first phone call she already said some things which made me trust her immediately. Since she is aware of my financial state, she was so nice to take that into account as well. Where do you find someone like that nowadays?

Thank you Laura

Good advice from your own attorney.
It is not easy to find an attorney that possesses all the important characteristics of a great attorney: splendid skills and a great commitment. An attorney who gives you the warm feeling of a case that is being handled very well and who has the ability to cut to the chase.

I am an attorney myself in daily life, but in a different field and in Laura Boomsma, who deals with family affairs in Amsterdam, I have found an excellent attorney.

From the start she immediately jumps into all the crucial details with abandon, which are important when it comes down to it. For example when a judge overlooks some of these details in the record because he thinks they are not relevant for the hearing. In this case, you will definitely need a specialist like Ms Laura Boomsma, who brings every question into perspective and can adequately answer questions on the spot. She reveals herself as a worthy opponent for both judge and other attorney, verbally as well as substantively, and by doing this she is able to convince other involving parties.

Coincidentally I came across my namesake Laura on the internet, regarding a case involving children. My first meeting with Laura felt so good, that I completely trusted her with me and my sisters case.

This eventually lead to a successful end of the cases. Without her effort and pressure this whole process would have taken a lot longer.

I am grateful for her commitment.

Laura

Form the beginning, at the intake, I already had a good feeling about Laura. As an attorney she knows all the details of her profession and as a human being she gives you a warm feeling. This was exactly what I need to complete this complex divorce. I highly recommend her to everyone who needs this kind of help.

When you either step or fall into a juridical battle, your trust is harmed. In a moment like this it is very helpful when your attorney acts as a guide. Be as open and honest as you possibly can. Laura fights for you story with everything she has and can. Work with her, not against her! Communicate! Work on trust from both sides!

• Menno van der Linden –

The law is a very complex thing…

When you have to let others decide about your conflict, you might as well know how that works. You step into a world which is not yours. No matter what justice and honourable behaviour look like in your world, be prepared that this can be very different from what you will see both inside and outside of court.

Lawyers, attorneys and the opposite party all have interest which are not necessarily parallel to yours. They know their behaviours and they are not planning to give you any insights in these. They live their lives in their world of symbolism, rituals and justification.

But this is very clear: You are their subject and their direct object, in both a positive as negative way.

Your point of law and your life present themselves as a diner on their plates. You serve them your evidence and your stories and they just poke and taste with their own special taste. From their point of view they provide you with comments and judgements based on what they like and what they don’t and they will use their books as proof.

Your thoughts and feelings about this are not necessarily their reality. They can stay in a insensitive and incomprehensive state.

In this kind of world you need a guide. Someone who wants to know your story, who asks question and can also give some resistance. Someone who gives you the space and safety to show your emotions, but who can also get you out of an emotional state.

Someone who explains to you what is necessary to propose your story as good as possible or who helps you to get on a different track. Who tells you what to keep in mind, what to do, which matters or papers you have to collect and how to respond when things get hard.

A juridical trial is additional to all your other affairs and jobs. It is as if the tax authorities is paying a visit and starting to doubt everything you have ever done. Everything gets disrupted. Documents which you might not have seen in years, become relevant again.

You will have to show more of yourself than you thought you would every show to someone else. You might need to learn how to lose and in some cases you will learn that winning can also mean losing.

A juridical conflict usually takes longer and will be more expensive than you thought beforehand. Ask yourself the question what it is worth. If it is likely the process it going to cost you more than it will bring you when you win, maybe it is better to just accept your loss. But to realise this, you will have to experience it first ;-)…

Laura is this kind of guide. I know her as a mother, a wife, a human being and an attorney. Someone who listens and who you can talk to. She loves he job and will do everything in her power to be there for you. This way you will learn, whatever ending for your case you might prefer.

I highly recommend her to you, to stand by you in this difficult moment.

Laura supported me in a very integer way during my divorce. She has a big heart for other people, but is very strict on the job. This reinforced me in my further development.

06 sep KATHLEEN

Laura did a fantastic job in my divorce, which almost ended up taking a much longer time than it eventually did. Laura kept a steady eye on the goal and showed me the risks of prosecuting the case, which settled the case eventually. Laura is a competent attorney and next to that very sensitive, straightforward, to the point. She puts thing into perspective, has humour and stimulates to keep looking forward. Laura also show a great amount of compassion to our only son and advised him to contact Villa Pinedo, so he could talk to other kids in the same situation.

Thank you Laura!

16 aug MR STEPHANE FRANCIS

Laura helped me in a very professional way during my trial, with both her juridical as her personal advices. Her big amount of knowledge and motivation is one of the reasons this case ended successfully. Thank you, Stephane.

19 jul MRS ROMIJN

Laura helped us out wonderfully in a very painful inheritance case, which disrupted the whole family. She is a real attorney. She sees everything that happens in its juridical worth. She never pleases anyone. She is clear and straightforward. She thinks out loud and comes with inventive solutions for problems which seemed insoluble before. Time after time she surprised us with her creativity, wit and fighting spirit.
