Biography

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE, PERSONAL INJURY (car wrecks and semi-truck wrecks), FAMILY LAW, CRIMINAL DEFENSE LITIGATION

Laura Austin is an AV Preeminent-rated litigator with over 44 years of experience. She is and continues to be a Professional Registered Nurse, certified in correctional healthcare, with multistate licensure, and has combined her 48 years of medical training and 44 years of law in the representation of those who are injured by the negligence and carelessness of others, lending a voice to those who aren't heard.
Her best verdict for her clients was $12,000,000.00.

Ms. Austin is also certified by the American Arbitration Association in Mediation and Arbitration of both domestic (family law) cases and basic civil litigation.

A graduate of Texas Women's University and Woodrow Wilson College of Law, Ms. Austin sat for four years as Magistrate for "the people's court" civil litigation and issued warrants as part of her position. That training and experience give her an advantage in criminal defense and civil litigation.

Ms. Austin was the 2018 Tradition of Excellence award winner as a general practitioner for the General Practice and Trial Section of the Bar and was designated in 2017 as a Super Lawyer. Additionally, she was the 2012 President of the General Practice and Trial Section of the State Bar and remains as a Trustee.

Ms. Austin recently worked in the Cobb Juvenile Court as an Advocate for Children and parents. She continues to work with clients in medical malpractice, auto wrecks with serious injury, domestic relations and contempt, and criminal defense, including DUI (drugs and alcohol), BUI, and Drug Possession/Sale/Trafficking cases, among others.

Ms. Austin offers free 20-minute phone consults on all cases but requires clients to participate in their cases at all stages to reduce costs and be part of the solution.
