The best lawyer to have she will take care of you in any mess

The best lawyer to have she will really take care of you in any mess your in she really does wonders with her work and got me out of a situation I would never think I would come back from she understands you listens and does her job to the best of her ability. ever since I got signed with Laura I ...felt more confident with my case and I felt more at ease knowing Laura was helping me with this I barley got to know Laura but when we talked we had quick and good communication and I felt like we were covering good ground battling the case I would never think I’m coming back from. she really is the best lawyer to have and if any one has her don’t doubt her work and put your trust with her and be completely honest with Laura she will understand you to the best of her ability and she will take care of you, Laura really is the best at what she does and I thank her and all of my family really do thank her for everything she’s helped me with and once again if you have Laura as a lawyer put your trust into what she does, Laura is very smart and very good what she does thank you.

Worst dump truck I've ever had.

This lady shouldn't be a lawyer. She couldn't have worked harder to get me slammed up State in prison for 45 months. Witch was the wrong sentence for the speeding ticket I had. I was totally appalled and the representation that I received. I should have gotten 30 days and gone on with my supervision.... She worked her hardest to get me as far away from the probation office, because they know me and get me to the State court house where there wouldn't have been a chance of doing the probation recommendations because those judges only take the DA's recommendations. It was out of control..... she is completely unable to do her job to the best of the clients ability. I can't believe she was going to put me up for almost 4 years for doing 37 in a 30 mph zone.... she needs to go back to McDonald's or taco bell where ever she got her law degree. This clearly is not the field for her....

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.
