Mr. Laurence K. Nurmi is your lawyer!

I had the privilege to hire Mr. Laurence K. Nurmi for a deposition in 2011, Mr. Nurmi reviewed the information that I provided to him in a timely fashion and he was extremely knowledgeable during the deposition. He made me feel confident that I was being represented to the fullest caliber. Not only... did he provide an excellent service for me as the client, but he also maintained professionalism at all times. I would strongly recommend Mr. Nurmi to represent you.

Very Good Criminal Defense Attorney!!

Mr. Nurmi is by far the best attorney I have worked with. He actually cares about his work and his clients. He help my wife with a criminal defense case and we received the best results possible. We fired our first attorney (he wanted to only plea bargain) and hired Mr. Nurmi because he actually... looked into my wife's case and listened to her story. He wanted to hear the truth and fight for her rights. He also breaks down your questions and will answer them to your level if need be. If he does not have an answer he will make sure to have one for you in a timely manner. His knowledge in criminal law is very extensive and he is not afraid to move forward with a case into court. Not only did he represent my wife during a trial but he also stuck with her afterwards as well. Mr. Nurmi is very upfront about whether he can help you or not, he is not afraid to tell you what he thinks. His fees are also very reasonable compared to others. He is very trustworthy as well. Even though I was paying him, he was representing my wife. So if I contacted him with a question, he would discuss it with my wife. He will definitely spend a lot of time with you as well. He makes sure he gets every detail. He also is very quick to respond to questions. His communication with us was great. I sometimes wondered if he ever slept. I would highly recommend Laurence K Nurmi to any of my friends and family.
