Laura Tucker Hedge is a Member at Bousquet Holstein PLLC’s Ithaca, New York, law office. She is an experienced litigator who has focused her practice on complex, high-net-worth matrimonial and family law litigation. 

Licensed in New York since 2015, Ms. Hedge regularly appears in the New York State Supreme Court and Family Court to zealously advocate for clients in all areas, including divorce, equitable distribution, post-judgment modifications, paternity, custody, parental access, child support and enforcement proceedings, as well as nuanced Family Court and Surrogate’s Court matters such as abuse and neglect proceedings and contested adoptions.

Ms. Hedge is a skilled and trusted adviser who explores creative solutions to settle complicated matters while always remaining client-focused. She has efficiently negotiated and drafted numerous financial and custodial settlement agreements as well as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and has experience handling cases for international or domestic clients whose cases pose cross-border issues.

An eloquent speaker and writer, Ms. Hedge has guest lectured at St. John’s University School of Law on emerging family law issues, has been published in the New York Law Journal, and was a committee member and faculty member of a 2021 New York State Bar Association CLE on domestic violence, trauma-informed interviewing and coercive control.
