Laura graduated from Golden Gate University Law School and was admitted to the California bar in 1989, then admitted to the New York bar in 1993. Since 1990, her practice has focused primarily in the area of Workers' Compensation law representing injured workers and people unable to work who are seeking Social Security Disability. She also represents those buying and selling homes in Residential Real Estate matters. Laura is very concerned about the plight of people who have become unemployed & represents those who have been unfairly denied Unemployment Insurance.
With over 29 years of experience, Laura will provide consistently prompt service with exceptional care.
Since 2000, Laura has been an active member of and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the IWBA (Injured Workers’ Bar Association) as the Regional Director for the Syracuse District.
Laura is also a member of a number of other professional organizations including the New York State Bar Association, Central New York Workers' Compensation Bar Association, Onondaga County Bar Association, and the California State Bar. Laura's law offices have been an Accredited Business by the Better Business Bureau since 2006, where she has maintained an A+ rating.
The firm is a small one so that we are able to provide individual and personalized attention to our clients (unlike so many other firms where clients are passed around between multiple attorneys and paralegals). Laura also believes it is important to give back to the community, and has constantly provided pro bono legal services, among other things, serving as an arbitrator to Onondaga County Bar Association for Part 137 Attorney Fee Disputes since 2006, volunteering to judge both local high school and SU moot trial competitions and so on.
All consultations are free, confidential and without obligation. Attorney fees are awarded by the court on a contingency basis for workers' compensation & social security disability claims.
