Great Lawyer

Laura Duran is a fantastic lawyer and great person. I live in Georgia so finding a lawyer in Texas was no easy task so finding Mrs. Duran was a blessing. I hired her to help me gain visitation rights to my son who lives in Texas. She didn't hesitate to take my case and was diligent in helping me gain... custody. She was very thorough in the orders which I truly made a difference. She always kept me informed and did everything in my best interest. I would recommend anyone to hire her, especially for family cases.

Impossible to get ahold of

Ms. Duran is a good attorney. In person, she is nice and sweet and seems to know what she is talking about. However, it is damn near impossible to get ahold of her. She does not respond to emails nor does she answer her phone. She takes a personal day or a week off with no notice and does not return ...calls to let you know she is on vacation. There is zero communication. To the point where I had to initiate everything about my divorce proceedings and hound her until she answered me and finally got around to doing it herself. She needs a secretary. Or an outbound message when she is out of the office. Or an hour set aside every day to answer emails or return missed calls.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
