La mejor abogada de Estados Unidos de América!!!

No hay palabras con las que pueda describir a la abogaba Laura Frances Marran porque desde el primer minuto que recibí su llamada en el mes de Octubre del 2024 comentando que sería la abogaba de mamá que estaba detenida en MCC de San Diego me dio demasiada calma. Ella siempre mostró mucho profesional...ismo y humanidad en cada obstáculo que se presentaba en el caso de mamá. Por ejemplo, mi mamá fue detenida en la frontera y los agentes de migración no me daban sus pertenecías aunque fui a buscarlas en diferentes ocasiones y entonces me contacté con Laura y ella fue más allá de su deber mandando e-mails para resolver el problema y finalmente gracias a ella me las dieron. Siempre estuvo en contacto conmigo para darme informes de mamá y los pasos a seguir, fue clara en las tareas asignadas y mi mamá siempre la describió como “ UN ÁNGEL SIN ALAS” y el día de hoy yo lo confirmo. Si alguien es capaz de ayudar a tu familiar o a ti mismo en algún problema legal sería la abogaba Laura Francés Marran. Dios fue bueno poniéndola en nuestro camino y te invito a conocerla porque no te arrepentirás. Gracias y mil gracias a ella mi mamá pronto estará en casa y no hay nada que yo pueda hacer para mostrar mi admiración y agradecimiento hacia ella!

Highly Recommend

Laura is an exceptional lawyer who went above and beyond to help my dad in a very difficult situation and helped secure a resolution that allowed him to avoid serving additional time. Her professionalism, deep understanding of the law, and genuine care for her clients are unmatched. Laura kept us i...nformed every step of the way, answered all our questions with patience, and made a stressful process much easier to navigate. My family is incredibly grateful for her expertise and dedication. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled attorney!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
