I'm from out-of-state and Laura (and her terrific assistant, Amy) did an absolutely fabulous job on helping me with a significant speeding ticket I had received. As they always ask, "would you hire Laura again?" And my answer would be a definitive: "A million times over!" Great job Laura!

Laura was able to get me a Prayer of Judgement and my speeding charge dismissed. She handled my case quickly and efficiently and I am extremely grateful.
"Laura Baker is an excellent choice for any of your criminal needs. I have had the pleasure of both watching her in court, and appearing against her in various matters. She is not only knowledgeable about the law and aggressive in her representation, but she is also compassionate to her clients. The quality of her work is unmatched. You will be well cared for by Laura."
"As opposing counsel on a child custody matter with Laura Baker, I was impressed with her knowledge of the law and her strong advocacy for her client. I certainly refer any matters I have in Cabarrus County to Ms. Baker and her partner Lucas Baker. I certainly endorse this lawyer."
