About Laura
KILLHAM LAW OFFICE has the advantage of an experienced former trial Prosecutor. Clients have the benefit of a veteran trial Prosecutor with experience in Maricopa County Criminal Courts. I know the personnel and have interacted with them from both sides of the judicial system. I know how the Prosecution thinks and their strategies. I can anticipate their moves. Most defense attorneys do not have extensive Prosecutorial experience. This experience provides an outstanding advantage when defending your case, fighting for your rights and freedom. Use my experience to your advantage with your criminal case.

Superb Lawyer
Posted by Charles
In 2017 I was arrested for a DUI offense and after about a week or so I met Laura and decided she was the lawyer for me. Laura immediately made me feel comfortable and I believed she would do an excellent job representing me, especially since she is a former prosecutor. Throughout the entire process Laura answered all my questions and provided excellent advice. Most importantly Laura was able to keep my jail time to a minimum and I felt the entire process went very smoothly thanks to her.
If you want a lawyer that will listen to your questions/concerns all while providing top notch defense services, Laura is the person for you.
I hired Laura for my son's DUI charge
Posted by karen
What I like about Laura is that she is available 24/7 and extremely responsive, smart, compassionate, and goes the extra mile for her clients.
Attorney endorsements
(2)
Brian Sloan, DUI and DWI Attorney
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I went up against Ms. Killham as a prosecutor and found her to be a fair but strong adversary. When she left the prosecutor's office, I was happy to refer cases to her that I couldn't take on.
Gordon Thompson, DUI and DWI Attorney
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known Laura for 14 years as a prosecutor and a defense attorney. I have tried many cases against her. Laura is both highly competent as a lawyer and very concerned about her clients' well being.
