About Laura
Biography
I received my JD degree from Stetson College of Law in Gulfport, Fl. Following admission to the Florida Bar, I worked for the Public Defender's Office in Clearwater, Florida for 5+ years. I relocated to Jacksonville, Fl. and worked for the Office of Regional Conflict Counsel for several years until I opened my own Jacksonville practice in 2011.
I am an experienced trial attorney. My practice focused primarily on Criminal Defense, but I recently expanded my practice to include family law and personal injury cases.
I am married to my best friend, and am an avid dog lover -- we currently have 4 large, furry "children" that allow us to share our home with them. You can see the picture of 3 of them hanging out on the back porch.
