Laura Kalur was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father was a medical malpractice attorney defending doctors and hospitals and she fell in love with trial law and medicine at an early age.
After graduating from Law School in Oregon, Laura started her career on the defense side, but quickly learned that her heart and soul lay with protecting patients (plaintiffs), not insurance companies. She has practiced exclusively as a plaintiff’s attorney representing injured patients for over 22 years. To Laura, plaintiffs work is not simply a job, it is a passion and a calling that requires skill, experience, tenacity, and dedication. She prides herself on being approachable and easily accessible to her clients. A strong attorney-client relationship and bond is critical to achieving the best results possible. She understands the lives of her clients have usually been turned upside down by injury and takes the time to understand each client’s personal experience and needs.
Ms. Kalur started her own firm in 2007 and has never looked back. While she started her career in Oregon, she quickly branched out and began taking cases all over the country. She has handled mass tort cases involving defective medical devices and a wide variety of medical negligence and wrongful death cases and catastrophic injury cases. These cases have taken her all over the country where she has done depositions, settlement mediations and tried cases in state and federal courts. Through this wide range and depth of experience, she has developed an invaluable network of medical experts and attorneys which enables her to provide exceptional services to injured patients, no matter where they are located in this country.
Being healthy one moment and facing life altering disability the next moment is horrifying. Laura strives to give her clients the compassion and legal representation they deserve.

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...

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!

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 ...
"Laura is a very savvy and driven lawyer. She always wants to do what is right for her clients and will spend whatever time is necessary to be fully prepared."
"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!"
"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"
