Laura is an accomplished trial lawyer who has recovered millions of dollars for her injured clients. She has extensive professional experience in personal injury, car accident, premises liability, and workers’ compensation law, and has been lead trial counsel in more than 70 bench and jury trials. She also has resolved hundreds of cases via mediation and alternative dispute resolution.

While at UT Law, Laura earned membership on the Tennessee Law Review. She is an award-winning published author, and, in 2001, the Tennessee Supreme Court cited her work on emotional distress injuries in a published full-court opinion.

Laura graduated from UT Law with honors, finishing in the top quarter of her class with an advocacy concentration.  She then clerked at the Tennessee Supreme Court for the Honorable Adolpho A. Birch Jr., former TSC chief justice.

Following her clerkship, Laura worked in Knoxville as a civil defense lawyer, gaining a unique perspective and insight into what it takes to successfully prosecute accident and injury claims against insurance companies. Within five years, she was peer-assessed a distinguished BV rated trial lawyer.

She has served as an adjunct Professor of Law at UT Law, and has been a guest lecturer in trial advocacy classes at UT Law. She has tried and won cases at every level of the Tennessee court system, from trial courts to appellate advocacy at the Tennessee Supreme Court.

Laura has also worked extensively with children injured in car accidents, as a result of animal attacks, and as guests on business or personal premises.  “I have two little boys.  I look at a hurt kid and it’s easy to understand how they hurt, and how their parents hurt. It’s a very motivational situation for me.”
