Laura is the attorney you’re looking for

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!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

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!!

Avvo Rating

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.
