Attorney Hargrove came to my rescue when I was in need of a defense attorney. Attorney Hargrove made it a priority to familiarized herself with my case and went the extra mile to ensure positive results. I highly recommend the Gause and Hargrove firm for any of your needs which require the assistance... of an attorney, you will not be disappointed. I also found the clerical staff to be just as courteous, helpful, and professional as the attorneys. Thank you attorney Hargrove for representing and getting me positive results in my case. I am forever grateful.

Superb 5 Star Service! ★★★★★

My son needed a good lawyer - somebody who understood both the law and the Lake County community. While I am not willing to go into specifics about my sons case, Laura was exceptionally knowledgeable of the laws concerning his criminal defense. With her ingenuity, our sons case was dismissed in it's ...entirety. My family found her to be very professional and compassionate. She truly cares about her clients and goes the extra mile utilizing her experience to do what is right for the client. No amount of work is too much if it can advance your defense. She is thorough and well respected, which means that both the prosecution and the judge takes her seriously, a huge advantage for a defendant. When faced with legal issues that deeply affect one's life, not having legal representation that one can trust becomes unbelievably overwhelming. However, with Laura my wife and I felt totally confident and secure that our sons best interests were being addressed and that every step was being taken to procure the best result for him. Laura's zealous representation and dedication created a connection between the firm and our family that instills the trust that I believe every person in need of legal assistance should seek. I would highly and unequivocally recommend Laura Hargrove to anyone in need of legal help.

Great personalities!

I haven't even hired Attorney Hargrove yet and her secretaries Cheryl and Lauren are beyond the best. When I initially spoke with Attorney Hargrove she let me know that she's read my discovery. Upon just reading the affidavit, she alleged that I shouldn't have been arrested...! She's effective and ef...ficient with her clients. I've seen her in action and she's a Doberman in the courtroom! With this law firm, it puts your nerves to ease.

Awesome Lawyer!!

Laura Hargrove called me from the road and spoke to me about my case for almost an hour. This is the 1st time we ever spoke. She made me feel comfortable that all would be ok...and it was. She worked hard and fast. The outcome couldn't have been better. To add to this... it was remarkably easy to sp...eak with Cheryl who works in the office. She was incredibly helpful. I hope that the opportunity for an attourney never again arises, but if it does, it will be Laura Hargrove that I call. Thank you Laura and Cheryl!!!
