Excellent track record continues

Laura was recommended by a good neighbor who said that she is a very thoughtful lawyer who has a great deal of common sense. I never had a lawyer for representation and admit it was intimidating signing the paper work to have her represent my wife and I. As it turned out I found that she was very t...rustworthy to say the least. As for responsiveness, anytime I had a question or an issue she would almost always respond within a few hours and sometimes minutes. Most of our communication was via the email. She takes her work very serious and reads her email late into the evening and would reply. Her knowledge of the law and what to do turned out to be priceless. In time she resolved all issues which benefited us throughout the process. She was always very timely and concise in each and every step that was required to eventually conclude the case to a close. We enjoyed working with Laura.

Excellent/Exquisit Lady Lawyer

My wife and I came for legal help, we were rear ended in our jeep, but left (we won) with the sense of a new beginning for our legal needs and a warm regard for our attorney. She is a strong and self-assured person for whom being an attorney is a strong calling and we will look to her for future leg...al needs. She was very personable and was there for us even when we went beyond the scope of our case.

TRUSTWORTHY ATTORNEY

My husband and I had wanted to complete a Living Trust for several years when we finally met with Laura Nelson. We chose Laura after much research. She was very friendly and made us feel comfortable as soon as we met her. Laura was professional, knowledgeable, informative, thorough, and kind. Sh...e answered any questions we had with a full explanation. We are impressed with the binder she provided us that includes the Living Trust and all other important documents. Laura did an excellent job of completing all legal matters. We strongly recommend her.

Personal Injury Case - Pedestrian vs. Auto

I was a pedestrian hit by a car while crossing the street in a residential area in late 2013. A report was taken by CHP putting responsibility for the accident on the driver of the car. Due to my (ankle/foot) injuries, I spent several months unable to perform simple daily functions. Initial conve...rsations with the insurance companies, both theirs and mine, convinced me that I needed professional legal help. This decision led me to call Ms. Mismas. During our initial consultation, she outlined clearly how this process would proceed. My relief at no longer dealing with insurance companies, as well as my HMO regarding charges, was immediate. We were kept informed of all progress and conversations. She kept things moving along, without rushing to a conclusion before my health was where it should be. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind. This case came to a satisfactory conclusion for me only as a direct result of my association with Ms. Mismas. What began as a frustrating encounter with insurance companies ended as a positive experience. Ms. Mismas has both my thanks and my respect. I highly recommend her!

Highly recommended!

My husband and I had a goal, to have a Living Trust done. It is now completed thanks to our attorney Laura Mismas. She was amazing, guiding us through the process, professionally and with kindness. Laura always took the time to explain not only what was needed but why and all options. As we sat ...down with her to go through the documents, which are all placed in a very tidy, easy to access binder, anything we did not understand was fully explained. We never felt rushed as she has a very calm and understanding demeanor. Greatly appreciated at a time like this! We would highly recommend Ms. Mismas. We have now achieved our goal and we are still smiling!
