Laura Frances Marran

I hired Ms. Marran because she was a former federal prosecutor. When she took my case, she was very skeptical about my innocence. She kept telling me to tell her the whole truth otherwise it would be difficult to defend me. I insisted that I made mistakes but nothing criminal. She started to revi...ew the case thoroughly and started to lose her skepticism and then was fully on board with my case. I for one welcomed this skepticism and approach and for anyone who is as frightened as I was when this happened to me I would say you need an attorney to be skeptical first and then be convinced. Think of your attorney as a member of the jury. If your attorney can go from skeptical to convinced then she should be able to convince a juror of the same. The other admirable quality of Ms. Marran is how thorough she is. I am not a doctor but I would say she is practically OCD, like that detective from MONK. If you are a white-collar defendant then this is extremely for you. The smallest of details can set you free. I cannot stress highly enough how incredible Ms. Marran was as my attorney.

In 2013, my brother was extradited from Mexico to the United States to face federal criminal charges of narcotics in El Paso. He was facing at least 15 years in prison as the 8th of 12 defendants for a drug conspiracy. He was also the lead defendant on two separate federal indictments from San D...iego, each carrying ten-year mandatory minimum sentences. After two years of no movement on his case, my family hired Ms. Marran to defend him. She returned our calls on the same day and pushed hard to the medical attention that he needed. In less than six months she had reviewed all the evidence, found weaknesses in the government’s case and negotiated a great deal resolving all three indictments. In the end, my brother (facing over 30 years) was sentenced to only 8 years. Ms. Marran continues to look out for my brother and his medical care even after he was sentenced. My family and I had lost hope for my brother until Ms. Marran returned that hope back to our lives and for that I cannot thank her enough. We will forever be grateful for what she has done and continues to do for my brother and family. She was. It just a lawyer, she became part of our family because of how involved and caring she was.
