Laura Hunt:   “I often find clients come into my office and we sit down for a consultation to discuss their case, they are stressed.  They frequently tell me that no one else has explained or listened to them as clearly as I have. I take great pride and find great satisfaction in listening to and caring about the clients that come to my office.  Something clients often say to me is “I don’t want to bother you.”   My reply is always you are not bothering me; I work for you and if you have a question, never hesitate to call or text me.  I am always available for my clients.”

When I graduated from law school in Oklahoma in 1992 I knew I wanted to help people. I thought about becoming a public defender but after two years in the criminal system I decided that criminal law was not for me.  Being a criminal defense attorney was exciting and I gained the valuable experience of arguing before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding federal sentencing guidelines.  I also became knowledgeable in criminal law.  However, I determined that I did not want a career as a criminal defense attorney, but I wanted to help people.  I also knew that as a rookie lawyer, I needed to hone my skills and become a seasoned litigator before I could benefit people who have been wronged by large corporations and insurance companies.  So I went to work for a large insurance company and worked there for over nine years. During my time working for the insurance company, I was able to gain the experience, knowledge and capacity to not only try cases but understand how the insurance companies look at, review and determine the value of cases.  I trained insurance adjusters in the law and how to deal with attorneys.  As a result of that extensive experience, I was able to enter private practice as an attorney representing injured clients and their families with an insight into the business that few other attorneys have.

After graduating from high school in Las Vegas with distinction for academics, track and cheerleading, I enrolled at UNLV as journalism major.   I worked at the school newspaper as well as school radio station. I always enjoyed meeting new people to interview for the paper and on the radio and hearing their story.    Having a personal connection with people as an attorney and counselor at law was important to me.  It was what drew me to the law, that personal connection to people and the ability to help them.  I graduated from UNLV with a Bachelor of Arts degree when I was 20 years old. I immediately enrolled in law school and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Oklahoma City University.  I loved my time in the south and enjoyed Oklahoma immensely.  But Las Vegas is my town; it’s where I grew up.  It is where my family and friends live, as well. I am as passionate about our community as I am my clients.  I am supportive of kid’s sports leagues and volunteer with my sons frequently in community outreach charities.

Those early experiences performing as a cheerleader, interviewing amazing people for the newspaper, and broadcasting live on the radio prepared me to be a public speaker and be comfortable in a court room.  I have never been shy or one to back down from controversy. I have admired many strong women over the years like Venus and Serena Williams for their grace, beauty and strength on the court and intelligent demeanor off the court. I have also admired women who’ve been pioneers in their fields like Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart. So many amazing women have paved the way like, Coco Chanel who came from a humble background and used her amazing talents to build a legacy.

When I’m not working or attending the baseball games of my three sons, I love yoga, skiing and riding ATV’s on the trails of the beautiful mountain ranges all around our area.

I am licensed to practice law in all courts in the state of Nevada and the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals. I am also admitted to practice in Texas and California.  I am a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Clark County Bar Association, and the Southern Nevada Women’s Bar Association.  I have been voted one the Top 100 Trial lawyers for the last three years.
