About Laura
Biography
Laura works passionately and thoughtfully with businesses and individuals to maximize the benefit of their legal rights and to understand their legal obligations. She accomplishes this task by providing day-to-day advice, drafting customized policies and procedures and implementing those policies through employee trainings. She believes that clear guidelines—for managers as well as employees—is the best path to a productive workforce and litigation avoidance.
When litigation is necessary, Laura is an undaunted advocate for her clients in the courtroom. Laura litigates employment issues in federal courts and before administrative bodies as well as traditional civil matters in state and federal court, such as breach of contract, non-competition and trade secret litigation, landlord tenant disputes, construction defect cases and other business disputes.
Laura spends a substantial amount of time working with youth serving organizations including early childhood education centers, child care facilities, camps, community organizations and single skill building trainings. As a result of her board service in this area and her extensive experience representing youth serving organizations, Laura provides customized solutions and real world solutions to licensing issues and in response to county investigations.
Laura has received numerous awards for her work.
