She represents clients in divorce, child custody, parent-time, paternity, child support, alimony, protective orders, modifications, and other domestic-relations matters.

Laura graduated magna cum laude from Mitchell Hamline School of Law, earning both a Law and Business Certificate and a Certificate in Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice.

She previously practiced as an Associate Attorney with Coillaw from December 2024 through November 2025.
