He Is A Great Lawyer- PERIOD

I was a pet sitter and a small business owner. I had a lady that is a dog trainer and goomer at Petco-a competitor. She filed charges against me-saying that I had harrassed and threatened her and her child-NOT TRUE_ I challenged her 'double dipping' on my references that I sent to Petco'. Sh...e and her manager went wild. I believed in the fact that I was not quilty- the police in Huntersville, NC filed out the paperwork against my better good. My attorney, Mr Laughrun stood by me, was very considerate, kind and believed in my case. He did the right thing and got the case dismissed. I totally reccommend him and his great work. Trust me, I am so happy with his work. clyde

I would not recommend this lawyer at all

George Laughrun humiliated my son in court., He did not know the case, what was in the discovery, knew statements were with held that could have helped. Did not investigate the case . Lead my son to the dogs. Let the media keep going on and on. Did not protect in any way, professionally or responsibl...y. Judge made a ruling and Laughrun went up to the bench and made the judge add to his own clients sentence. What an idiot lawyer when it comes to complicated matters. He did not work on the case at all. Always a clean desk. Never a file on his desk to discuss. always argued with us. Took his client to talk to the ADA, ALE, and State Hwy Patrol, knowing he had a traumatic brain injury, and could not comprehend what was being asked. Did not remember the meeting at all. I will never forget how this man treated the family, and humiliated his supposed client at the bench trial, and even agreed with the victims families. And also used this to help the ADA. All I have to say now is stay away from this lawyer if you don't want to be humiliated and not protected. Also, Made a speech : Your honor I can not tell you how many I have arrested, sent to prison, etc. in court.

Run from George !!!!

I had the misfortune of retaining George in 2001 on a drug charge and he basically showed up in court, pleaded me out and didn't do a damn thing else apart from pushing me to snitch on others. Run from George with your life!!

Land of Confusion

Hello everyone. I am a 25 year old female and I just wanted to let you all know that I hired Mr. Laughrun to represent me. 6 months later I was arrested for "failure to appear". Even though we were both there on the court date and he shook my hand and said "stay out of trouble." I paid his resept...ionist and went on my way. I was publicly humiliated while arrested, telling the cops over and over I was there for my court date, they told me I was a liar. My friend phoned Laughrun while I was loaded into the car in cuffs and he said "I'll take a look at the case first thing in the morning." (It was 8PM) I was to spend the night in Meck. County Jail. Now he claims I owe him more money and he didn't even get me the expungement I asked for!! I am meeting with him in two weeks with a witness and then I will take matters up with the NCBA (North Carolina Bar Association). I refuse to be charged to be taken to jail!!! He didn't attempt to contact me in any way and says that I can come see him but that I am not allowed a copy of my own file! There isn't much in writing except for the reciept for what I paid him. And some letters his office sent. He NEVER tried to make contact with me! NOTE-(this was not for a felony.) I was livid. The first time I was billed, after I paid already, I thought that maybe it was a mistake. When I called him and asked he confirmed this to be true. Then I got a second bill. When I called and asked about it, he said I owed him and that the first original fee was for the court cost only. (Kinda funny they are the exact same amount!!!!) He blames the court for the "mistake" but insists he did what he should. But paperwork was not filled out or filed properly or something.
