NEVER EVER trust this woman. She lies, twists peoples stories, has no professional status to her whatsoever. Yes, she never itemizes her bills, and will take children from mothers, simply because she alone thinks she knows it all. In fact she almost destroyed my life, and thankfully I got a good Lawyer that knows her bogus lying, and crap that she makes up. She even will diagnose people with mental problems ( when in fact she is not a psychiatrist, and will destroy your life. She really is Satan. Ive never in my life seen a "professional" actually get paid to lie and ruin the lives of mothers and children. Makes me sick. Yes she's all about the money. She claims she does this for the children! No! my Children were scared of her, and she doesn't even know how to interact with them, and she will judge your mothers out there. Who cares what the father does, if you are a mother stay away completely. Please please for your sake, and your childs sake.

I lost my 2 children to Laurie Gaines 10 years ago because I am a Christian/Mennonite woman who would not allow my daughters to participate in certain social activities at school, etc... or wear low cut jeans. I have since remarried and we have out 8th child together since then, on the way. I am a good mother and my children love me dearly. See the type of families this woman destroys. Here's our family now: www.aprayerfullife.com

Laurie Olson Gaines is a GAL in the state of Washington. I can not possibly immagine what motivates her. I just know that I am a loving, devoted mother with no criminal history and no history of abuse of drugs or alcahol, I maintain a comfortable, clean home and provide healthy meals and activities yet; She reccomended the court give custody of my beautiful child to an alcaholic (admits 4 in patient treatment attempts, and has never compleated an outpatient program although he was enrolled in at least 3) with an Admitted history of sexual abuse of a minor, and two aledged attempts of suicide, illegal discharge of a weapon, and an extencive history of domestic violance. She is demanding payment in excess of $10,000.00. One star is too many for this monster. If you are a mother, before you agree to this woman as your child's GAL show these reviews to your attorney. If you dont have an attorney, whatever you do, dont allow this woman into you custody dispute.

If you ( or your Ex) want to pay $ 20,000-30,000 and lose your child to your EX or CPS, then you got the right person for this" losing your child and being abused" for financial sick agenda of this unqualified creature. ( not human)!

Laurie Olson Gaines has been picked by my husbands attorney for my childs custody. She threatened me if I dont do whatever she requires from me Im going to lose my child. She lies on the court and make a false report in favor of who pays her more. Her retainer is $4000 but at the end of the case she charges you for more than $20.000 for such a malpractice.
