I am a third generation trial attorney. Both my dad and grandfather were trial attorneys. I went to Baylor University and was a premedical student. I graduated with a degree in biology, but since the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree, I went to law school.
I have represented people who have been injured in serious trucking and automobile accidents, babies who have been injured as a result of medical errors at birth, and people who have been injured as a result of medical malpractice and other types of serious accidents.
I am an adjunct professor at Baylor Law School teaching Personal Injury Trial Law. I have given talks across the country to labor and delivery nurses about the types of medical mistakes that I have seen in my birth injury cases to help educate these nurses on steps that they can take to prevent injuries to babies in the future.
Practice areas
I am a baby safety advocate and represent babies who have suffered disabling injuries, such as birth asphyxia, brain injury, and cerebral palsy, as a result of preventable medical errors during labor and delivery.
30 years
I represent people who have been seriously injury through no fault of their own when another person or company breaks a safety rule. Severe injuries can happen in a variety of ways, including car crashes, construction accidents, defective products.
30 years
I represent people who have been severely injured or killed in trucking and car crashes.

I endorse this lawyer. I have known Laura since she was a rising star in the medical malpractice field. She is no longer a rising star - she has fully arrived as one of the best plaintiff's personal injury attorneys in the area.
