Laura is professional and dependable!

I really appreciated the work that Laura did for myself and my case. She is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and always kept me informed. I appreciated that when she said she would be calling or emailing with information, she would. I also really liked how accessible she was, when I had ques...tions, whether it be through email and even text message! Laura is extremely professional, and I know I made the right choice to have her representing me in the court. Thank you Laura!

Professionalism and Genuine Caring

I had DUI with injury in Oct 2009. Ms. Akers handled my case with the utmost care and professionalism. She was able to settle my case satisfactorily. The felony charge was reduced to misdemeanor

Awesome

I was just starting my business when I got slapped with a summons. It just so happens that Mrs. Akers was there and took a look at it. "Don't sweat it" was the first thing she said to me after reading the Suit. After she got all of the information she made me feel confident that we would win the case.... The other party tried to drag it out but she convinced them otherwise. I was very happy when they dropped the suit. TYVM

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.
