Great defense!

Attorney Lauer represented me on some very serious charges where I was facing substantial jail time. Attorney Lauer fault tooth and nail to get all charges dismissed. It isn’t cheap, but worth every penny. I would highly recommend Patrick or Heather.

Very pleased

My husband and I rescently hired Mr. Lauer to represent our son. I was a complete wreck after my son was arrested, and a girlfriend of mine recommended Mr. Lauer to us and we couldn't be happier with the results. He is very professional, and really knows his stuff. As far as the cost, you get what... you pay for, as with anything in this world. I would never go to anyone else. I highly recommend Mr. Lauer.

Excellent Representation

I recently hired Attorney Lauer for a DUI charge and I couldn't be more pleased with the kind of representation that he provided me with. This whole situation was very frustrating for myself because I did not know what kind of steps to take and I didn't really understand how to defend my case but tha...nkfully I found an attorney who could. Attorney Lauer was able to get my charges significantly reduced and he was always available to answer any kind of questions or concerns that I had throughout the entire legal process. I also felt that his price was very fair when I compared it to the other attorneys in the area. He was actually less expensive then many lawyers that I came across and his passion seemed to be unmatched by any other attorney that I saw in court when I was awaiting my trial. I would highly recommend someone facing any kind of criminal charge to give this man a call. Hopefully I never have to use him again but if I ever find myself in a similar situation he will undoubtably be the first person I call. He WILL help you just like he did for me.

Did not meet expectations

Hired Patrick Laurer to defend my case. He did not meet my expectations. I expected more for how much money that I paid. He was hard to work with. He did everything last minute. I ended signing guilty charges for assault when I was attacked in my own home. I did not receive a military discount after... requesting for it. Now I have to live with the consequences.

YOU ultimately chose to plead guilty in open court. I tried to get the prosecutor to drop the assault charge completely, but the prosecutor would not do so as the victim opposed. I was able to negotiate a plea to summary, Harassment. I would have gladly gone to Trial for this summary offense, but you did not want to do so and fully accepted responsibility for your actions in open court and was even colloquied by the Judge that this plea was knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently made. You wanted to accept the negotiated plea agreement, which consisted of significantly reduced charges and reduced sentence. You were facing significant jail time. You had the right to withdraw your guilty plea and/or appeal your case and were advised of those rights, and you chose not to do so. As for the military discount, as soon as you advised you had been in the military, some time after retaining us, I did provide a military discount. I wish you all the best.
