      Review Laura Fine

      Very aggressive and compassionate woman !

      Posted by

      We are very thankful for Laura , not only did she agree to work with us , but she was understanding and worked out a payment plan because she knew money was hard for us . She kept in contact and fought vigorously to prevent my husband from serving a 5 year federal prison sentence on 2 drug charges . Long story short , she’s amazing , without her I would be a mother of two and by myself with 0 support . She showed compassion , which is hard to find , especially since a lot of attorneys are just money hungry . She ended up getting my husband a long probation sentence with the possibility of it ending sooner than expected with good behavior . Thank you so much Laura , Ignacio wouldn’t be here with us today without you !

      I needed help dealing with a matter where I am being stalked. Although Laura usually works in criminal defense, she took up my case helped me through what turned into a very lengthy, and complex matter. She never left my side and fought relentlessly to protect me. She went above and beyond and put a genuine personal investment in supporting me emotionally, and legally. This woman is a true warrior who will fight for your cause until justice prevails.

      Laura worked very hard, communicated very well, and in the end got my case dismissed.l completely. I was very nervous hiring a lawyer, but she far exceeded my expectations. Hire Laura Fine!

      Sharp, resourceful, and extremely dedicated to her clients’ success.

      I consulted Laura over a very upsetting charge that I did not intentionally commit. I sent an explanatory email through her website, and she contacted me almost immediately. She was instantly in my corner, loyal and empathic. She swiftly provided me legal reasons not to worry, then also made some phone calls to verify things on my behalf. Although now I may not be charged with the crime, Laura assured me that if I am, just give her a call and she will be right there for me. It is truly comforting to have a dedicated attorney like Laura Fine looking out for you.

      Thank You for Helping a Vet in need!

      When I was scared about a charge you met with me and my whole family to discus my options. You treated us so kindly and gave me great advice when we consulted. You really made me feel a lot better about my situation and even informed me of some treatment options to help with my combat PTSD that I was unaware of. You together with your professional investigator were very knowledgeable of the law and really put my mind at ease while my anxiety was high. Thank you!!

      Strong, Caring, Understanding, The Best Hands Down!!!

      Posted by

      I was referred to Laura by a friend and I'm so very thankful i called her. I was facing charges that stemmed from a bad reaction to anesthesia. The D.A. picked up my charges and was trying to make an example out of me and she protected me. I had little hope that i was going to find any lawyer that was going to fight for me tooth and nail but then i called Laura and she immediately reassured me it was going to be okay. She is so compassionate, fierce, determined, and knowledgeable. The entire time I was going through my breakdown she was always there with powerful positive words of encouragement to put me at ease. She is the kind of lady you're glad to have on your side and not be on the opposing side of that is a fact. Thanks a million Laura for fighting for me and getting my charges to a zero!!

      Smart, Efficient, On-Point, No-nonsense, Knowledgeable, Gets the Job Done!

      Posted by

      Ms. Fine was professional, on-point, down-to-business, and accomplished what was set out to do--which was to right a wrong, in my favor. She stuck to the issues, got the facts from me, expedited the case, and came to a resolution in 2 days. She is purely professional. It occurs to me that if you are looking for a sympathetic ear and someone who will take your hourly fee and spend it soothing you, you should go to a counselor/therapist...not an attorney. Ms. Fine was 100% professional and stuck to facts and got the job done. She used my money wisely by operating on the facts of the case and not delving into my feelings about it. I am 100% satisfied.

      Anna Sammons, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 15, 2019
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Laura Fine is one of the most respected defenses attorneys in Oregon and for good reason. Her knowledge of the law, extraordinary attention to detail, and creative advocacy consistently get her clients more favorable outcomes than other attorneys are able to achieve. She also enjoys a well-earned reputation for treating her clients with kindness, compassion, and genuine respect. I have referred a handful of people to her, including a personal friend, and have heard nothing but positive feedback. In every way, she sets the standard that I personally strive for.

      Michael Vergamini

      I strongly endorese this lawyer. Ms. Fine is one of the finest litigators I have ever had the pleasure of watching in court. She has the rare combination of comprehensive mastery of her cases and lightning quick brilliance in the courtroom. This is the lawyer you want in your corner.

      Relationship: Other

      Laura Fine was a guest speaker at our Criminal Defense clinic in law school. I was impressed by the wealth of knowledge she possessed in this area of law. She is passionate about her work and works hard for her clients. It is my pleasure to endorse Ms. Fine's work.

      John Hall, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 4, 2009
      Relationship: Worked together on matter

      I heartily endorse this lawyer. The three things I value most in lawyers I work with are knowledge of the law, willingness to go the extra mile for the client, and the ability to see legal issues creatively. I my 36 years experience, only a handful of lawyers in each locale measure up to this standard, and she is one in Oregon.
