Laurie Hitchner is a lifelong resident of Cumberland County who brings both professional experience and deep personal understanding to the clients she serves. Her life journey has shaped her compassionate, steady approach to helping individuals and families navigate financial hardship.

After becoming a widowed mother of four, Laurie faced the challenge of rebuilding her life from the ground up—an experience that gives her unique insight into the fear, uncertainty, and resilience that often accompany financial distress. This perspective allows her to connect with clients on a meaningful level while maintaining professionalism and clarity.

Laurie began her career in retail management, where she developed strong organizational, communication, and client-service skills. Seeking work with greater purpose, she transitioned into bankruptcy law, gaining experience with a Vineland-area bankruptcy attorney before joining the Law Offices of Amy L. Knapp, whose values and client-centered philosophy aligned closely with her own.

As Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Paralegal & Loan Modification Coordinator, Laurie works closely with clients to guide them through the Chapter 7 process and assist with loan modification matters. Her goal is to make the process easier—not harder—by providing clear guidance, patience, and dependable support. She believes everyone deserves dignity, understanding, and the opportunity for a fresh start.

Laurie is the proud mother of three daughters and one son, a devoted “Mimi” to four beloved granddaughters, and happily engaged. She approaches her work with empathy, honesty, and a deep commitment to helping clients move forward with confidence and hope.
