Aggressive and compassionate defense for felonies, misdemeanors, and juvenile felonies

An arrest for a serious crime can put your entire future in jeopardy. Fines, jail time, loss of reputation, and the disruption of your personal relationships are serious potential consequences. Fortunately, you can rely on the Law Office of Laura Shaver to protect your rights and fight for a positive outcome. My practice focuses exclusively on defending adults and juveniles accused of misdemeanors and felonies. I am available when you need me, and I wont stop fighting until your case is favorably resolved.

Reputable defense lawyer known for impressive victories

As a native WA, I am passionate about serving my home community. I began my legal career as a public defender at the Yakima County Department of Assigned Counsel and then moved into private practice, where I took on tough appeals, clemency petitions, and complex felony cases such as rape, murder, and co-defendant trials. Through numerous successful cases, I have earned a reputation for being:

• Highly skilled — I have handled countless cases before judges and juries.
• Fearless — I am never intimidated, and my clients say I inspire their confidence.
• Responsive — I listen to my clients’ concerns and put their needs first at all times.

Having earned the respect of colleagues, adversaries, and judges in the criminal and juvenile court systems, I am able negotiate fair resolutions that reduce potential penalties, aggressively challenge the State to prove every element of its case a stance which has led to acquittals and dismissals of charges, and pervasively argue your case to the prosecutor and judge. Although no attorney can guarantee results, I can promise you’ll have a fighter by your side who will safeguard your rights and work tirelessly for the best possible outcome.

Ready to serve. Prepared to fight.

• Felonies and Misdemeanors — I defend adults in criminal courts on charges that include drug crimes, weapons offenses, theft, robbery, burglary, sexual assault, assault, and homicide.

• Juvenile Adjudications — I represent minors in the juvenile court system on a range of issues, including vandalism, shoplifting, robbery, drug possession and distribution, assault, homicide, and underage drinking. I fight for a fair outcome to mitigate any negative impact on your future.
• Post-Conviction — I assist with issues involving the Department of Corrections, probation violations that can infringe on your liberty, vacate criminal convictions, clemency and pardon petitions, and post convictions motions at the trial and appellate level.
