We are available when you need us, and I never stop fighting until your case is favorably resolved.

Reputable defense lawyer known for impressive victories

As a native of Washington, 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 hundreds of 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 prosecutors in the criminal and juvenile court systems, I am able to act as an honest a zealous advocate for my clients, negotiating fair resolutions that reduce potential penalties. But I am also aggressive in challenging the state to prove every element of its case, a stance which has led to acquittals and dismissals of charges. 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.

When you retain the Law Office of Laura Shaver, you can expect an extensive investigation of your case, vigorous pre-trial litigation, and effective trial advocacy. I have a solid track record that includes not-guilty verdicts and dismissals in numerous jury trials for a wide variety of criminal charges. In my criminal defense practice, I travel throughout Washington State to represent clients in cases involving:

• 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.
• Sex Crimes — I have the experience and skill to help you fight back against your accusers and prove your innocence in court.
• 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 my client’s future.
• Post-conviction services — I assist with hearings over probation violations that put my clients’ freedom in jeopardy. I also help clients get expungements, to clear arrests from their records, and clemency and pardon petitions.

I’ve become known as a skilled and fearless litigator among both peers and prosecutors. When you trust your case with me, you can count on an advocate who will work closely with you to protect your rights.
