About Laura
Biography
I am an attorney with a passion for helping others. I recently moved to Austin from Fort Worth, where I worked at Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas helping low income individuals obtain access to justice.
I have experience with many areas of general civil litigation, including consumer and DTPA claims, public benefits, real estate contracts, unemployment benefits, wage claims, and a host of other areas.
While at Legal Aid, I was the sole attorney assigned to Project H.I.R.E.D. - a project designed to help people remove barriers to employment. To this end, I assisted clients in cleaning their criminal history through expunctions, nondisclosures, and juvenile sealings. I also helped individuals obtain occuational driver's licenses and assisted in obtaining relief from surcharges through the indiency/incentive program.
I am focusing my current practice on landlord-tenant, debt collection (debtor defense), and employment related cases.
