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.

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.
