Kalur made a difficult process so much easier

Several years ago I found myself in a situation where I needed a lawyer. Not just a lawyer, I needed an advocate; someone who believed in me and my case. Someone willing to pick up a shield that I couldn't carry, and defend me. Someone willing to simplify the process so that I knew exactly where I st...ood and what my rights were. Someone willing to take a chance when the outcome was not certain, pick up a sword and cut a way through for me. Ms. Kalur did all that for me and more, and kept me smiling all the way through. I hope to never have to go through what I did again, but if I had to, Laura Kalur would be my first and only choice for legal counsel.

Great Malpractice Lawyer

Laura was excellent. She was on top of every detail and kept me well informed. She was always a few steps ahead. She was very compassionate to my situation and worked very hard. I would use her again, hopefully I won't need to!

Driven and Determined Attorney

Ms. Kalur helped me win my Social Security Disability case one year ago. I had an uncommon painful shoulder injury that wouldn't allow me to work any longer. I hired Ms. Kalur and that was the best decision I had made for myself in a very long time. Let me tell you what I like about Ms. Kalur. I ...can guarantee you she spent many hours researching my injury, she was driven beyond belief. She came prepared for my hearing and impressed the judge with her knowledge and details of my case. I also need to mention Ms. Kalur has a big heart and treated me with the greatest respect. I can't thank her enough for the help she gave me.

Medical malpractice lawyer | Jul 16

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Laura to patients who have been wronged by the negligence of their medical providers. She is a tireless advocate for her clients. She is smart, determined and tough. She won't back down to the large firm defense attorneys and the insurance companies who hire them. Her desire to win and the care she has for her clients makes her a formidable adversary. She gets results and that's what matters!"

Defective and dangerous products lawyer | Nov 09

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Laura Kalur on cases large and small, and I can unreservedly say that Laura is one of the top young attorneys in the country. Her intelligence, aggressiveness, and tireless work ethic — combined with her compassion and empathy for her clients — makes her an outstanding client representative and formidable opponent for corporate wrongdoers. She is a leader in the fight for justice for consumers in the Pacific Northwest, and throughout the United States, and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any type of injury or product liability case"

  • 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.
