Take a moment to navigate my site and familiarize yourself with my approach and results. My clients always come first, and I am a results oriented professional.
Easily Accessible
In nearly 20 years of practicing law in several states and in our federal court system, what I hear most from clients is that the single most important thing they want is for their attorney to be easily accessible to them. I embrace this idea and maintain open lines of communication with my clients because together we are a better prepared and stronger team. Once you become my client, you will not be obstructed or stonewalled by secretaries or staffers. I will personally communicate with you, and work hand-in-hand with you as I research, investigate, and defend your cause.
Commitment
Knowing that my professional reputation and relationships with my clients depend on my expertise, dedication, and results, I have worked tirelessly to ensure that I am always thoroughly prepared. My clients and opponents all know that I leave no stone unturned in the defense of my clients.
Notable Clients
Yes, I have represented famous and influential individuals, but not one is more important than you. I assure you that every single one of my clients, regardless of how big or small the case, will receive my utmost respect and commitment.
Let's Talk
If I am to effectively represent you before the state or federal courts, the sooner we speak, the better for you. Prompt legal defense can often ameliorate problems before they grow into formidable challenges with serious consequences. I strive to protect my clients' interests from the very start of their legal problems. My initial legal consultation is entirely free with no obligations.

Estate Planning
Wills & Trusts
Why is having a will or trust drawn up for you and your family so important?
First and foremost, if you do not plan how your belongings are distributed amongst your family and friends, the State will decide for you. That’s right!
Legislators passed laws which determine how the possessions and money of those citizens who die without a will or trust get divided. These laws are like formulas, and they do not...
contain any provisions for determining how you may have wanted your estate administered. Imagine that!Your government will divide up your holdings with absolutely no regard as to who you wanted to have which assets.
Second, an estate plan can often be drafted which will minimize or alleviate significant tax burdens, both now and for your dependents in the future. This is especially so for many married couples.
Beware of Death Tax Rate
Did you know that the in 2009 death tax rate was as high as 45%? And, while Congress' failure to act in 2009 has left no death tax rate at all in 2010, the tax rate is currently slated to increase in 2011 to 55%! Imagine working your entire life to leave your family financially secure, only to learn that if you die in 2011 or after, the Government will seek to take as much as 55% of your life savings from your family!
Prepare a Will or Trust
A Will carefully crafted by an experienced estate planning attorney can greatly preserve the amount of money and assets that you can legally pass on to your family at the time of your death. Don't let the government deprive your family of over half of their inheritence. Protect your family and their future. Contact Attorney Laurans to write your Will or Trust.
While speaking with Attorney Laurans, explore additional estate planning issues, such as instructing how you wish to be cared for in times of emergency incapacity or directing who will care for your minor children should misfortune strike you and your spouse. Let Mr. Laurans' experience serve you, and protect your family's future.
