Saved my wife from an unjust DWI charge.

My wife was unjustly charged with a DWI by a NC State Trooper after a minor single vehicle accident where she passed out or fell asleep, ran off edge of road, and side swiped a guard rail. There were no injuries, thank goodness. The State police were called by local police. She was transported to ER ...before the Trooper arrived. The Trooper did not see her until he arrived at hospital ER. He did not have personal witness of a DWI condition as she was sleeping in ER. He decided to site her with DWI citation at the accident scene before he had witnessed her condition. We contacted Laura and after a consultation we decided to hire her to represent my wife in court. Laura gathered all the facts and talked to the EMS personnel and Police Officers that responded to the incident. She did extensive research on the case and that work was evident as the case went before the Court. We were both very impressed with Laura as she argued the blood samples the Trooper had taken at hospital were unjust. My wife takes prescription pain medication which had shown up in the blood test and would have negatively affected the outcome of the case. She was not overdosed. The Judge disallowed the blood test from the case. She continued her arguments and ultimately had the DWI charge dismissed. My wife did get charged with failure to maintain control of her vehicle and received at $25 fine plus court cost. Laura is very pleasant to work with and very straight forward about what you can expect from the Court room. We were very happy with her service and do recommend her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
