CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Responsive and professional.

Britni C.

"Laura helped me with two charges-both were dropped. Throughout the entire process, she was always articulate, determined, and extremely compassionate. Laura always appeared cool, competent, and ready to take on a challenge. It was hard for me to put my trust in someone, especially with such high stakes, but she completely delivered on everything she promised and even offered encouragement and personal support."

This is an amazing law firm.

Staci M.

“Laura represented my Dad and I am so impressed with her knowledge, experience and how much she truly cared about him being her client.

 Laura kept in close contact with us all the way to the courtroom and even throughout the process afterwards. She treats you like family and money isn’t her concern. Her main concern is justice and she will fight for you every step of the way."

If you need someone that will fight tooth and nail, Laura is the attorney for you!!!

Allen K

"She is all about going the extra mile. There is no such thing as half way doing things with Laura! Trust and believe you are in good hands with her as your attorney. Money cannot get you a better attorney. She won my case before charges were even formally charged. No need to look for anyone else!!"

She doesn't sugarcoat.

Zelda M.

"Laura doesn’t sugarcoat things but she will fight for the best possible outcome given the circumstances of the case. She is realistic, transparent, straight forward but also caring, understanding and passionate. I respect her as a person and the work she does for people."

"I never give up on a client.

In 2023, Evaristo Salas walked free after 27 years of wrongful imprisonment—six years of litigation, denied post-conviction motions, and a successful appeal led to an evidentiary hearing where the lead detective finally admitted to misconduct. Watching my client walk out of prison was one of the most meaningful moment of my career."
