Thank you Very much! Atty Laura Marran

Very good lawyer, very friendly and professional, she helped me with my federal felony case from beginning to end, obtaining excellent results. Very satisfied with her work, I highly recommend her.

Posted by Darren | December 05, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Professional and extremely thorough

My original attorney and I hired Laura write my sentencing position. He felt that this was my best chance to avoid the prison sentence that I was facing. She researched the nuances of my case and cases similar to mine to compare details and sentencing differences. She gathered information about every... aspect of my personal life in order to understand my individual situation. With her complete understanding of the case and insight as a former AUSA she was able to effectively explain my case to the judge and recommend a sentence without prison time. The judge agreed and used many of her arguments and reasoning when he sentenced me to probation and house arrest. I was facing 18-24 months in prison so this sentence was a relief to say the least. She is friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate and above all extremely effective. I can honestly say I owe Laura my freedom and would highly recommend her to anyone charged with a crime especially at the federal level.

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.
