Dave - Client

Laura represented our company regarding a cosmetology inspection matter with TDLR. Her approach to the matter was fair and complete. Laura had an excellent rapport with the TDLR in addressing and arriving at a resolution to the issue. She had a total grasp of the issues at hand and understands th...e licensing laws and inspection process. She is compassionate about her job, trustworthy, and a real “down to earth” highly moral individual.

Women of Austin Dentists

Attorney Laura Diamond kindly consented to give a talk to our Women of Austin Dentists on "Dentistry and the Law" recently. She presented information relevant to us and fielded all our questions beautifully. Laura is sharp yet very approachable. We were all quite pleased with her presentation!

Great attorney for any Texas Board

I have used this law firm for many years. They know the laws and are very effective in conferences with the board. Laura has taken my cases in recent years and is excellent in her field. Our last endeavor resulted in no findings against my license!! This firm and Laura is the only time I have dea...lt with attorneys and felt it was money well spent.
