Reviews from clients

"A huge thank you to her, she worked hard and gave us our life back. She goes above and beyond for the welfare of her client. We owe her a lifetime of gratitude." -Karen

"I have used Laura on more than one legal matter. She always made me feel reassured through my trials. Each time she has gone above and beyond to get me the best deal possible and even a few fully dismissed! She is caring and understanding but also realistic with her clients... I would recommend her office to anyone who is seeking legal counsel. Laura gets the job done!" -Stephanie

We first met Ms. Petty when our teenage son made a very poor decision that landed him facing some serious charges in juvenile court. We were terrified, to say the least. However, from the moment we first started working with Ms. Petty, we never felt alone in the process. She took the time to really get to know our son and always had his best interests in mind. She was always thorough with her guidance and communication. Ms. Petty was honest, even when it was hard to hear, but we were consistently well prepared for the next steps. When all was said and done, we had the very best possible outcome for our son. We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Petty’s work and cannot recommend her highly enough! -Emily

"I found myself urgently needing legal advice. I was able to get a consultation appointment with Laura. She immediately started making calls and we discussed my options. After a very emotional meeting, I knew she would work hard and find the best way to move forward. I wasn't wrong as she listened to my story, asked for all the documents I had and also requested all the other paperwork to put it together. Entering the court system during COVID was challenging but she made me feel as comfortable as possible on Zoom meetings with the courts. She got to know me and my character was validated... She found the best resolution for this legal process and I am happy to say it ended in my favor. I cannot say enough about how professional Laura was not only in her office but in the courtroom too. I would highly recommend Laura Petty to represent you. I can't thank her enough for finding the truth!" -Susi

"I needed an affordable attorney who was aggressive, professional, and really knew the ins and outs of the court system. Laura Petty has done an amazing job. She has been nothing but attentive to my needs as a client, and [I am] a firm believer in what she does. I think that's what makes her one of the best lawyers in Solano County. Laura is very knowledgeable and has a really clear focused view of understanding how the court system works. She will continue to do an amazing job for anyone that hires her and will get you the right results for your case each and every time."

First and foremost, I cannot deliver enough praise for her hard work, dedication and attention to detail. I made a mess of my life early on, made a strong dedicated decision to change it after 10 years of doing the right thing, I felt it was only right to hire the first attorney to ever represent me for my last appearance. My situation had quite a few moving parts but she made short precise work of the situation--she dealt with the reductions, board of prison terms, DOJ, County, and district attorneys in a surgical way I myself would have never even knew where to start and in under 90 days I was sitting next to her in the courtroom getting my certificate of rehabilitation granted. She was prepared, the judge did not receive some documents and other items and Laura had them on hand and ready in duplicate... Her natural ability to navigate this process gave me a second lease on life and for that I give the 5 star rating. -Aaron

When I got my case I was so scared. All I knew is I needed an attorney. After calling so many and feeling worst I called Ms. Petty and met with her. She assured me that everything would be OK so I hired her. She was patient with me and she knows the law. I was VERY SATISFIED with her work and the outcome of this whole ordeal and will definitely recommend her. -Trina

Over the last few years Laura has been a great help to me and my family. Going out of her way, she took us through some overwhelming issues and gave much needed instruction. Always confident and to the point, she made things clear and got things done, calling me with updates and changes. In court I felt at ease by her side knowing she was going to positively change future events. I've never met such a personable and caring attorney. We are extremely grateful. -David

Almost a decade ago, just a few years into my sons adult life, he committed a serious crime. As it turns out at his arraignment Ms. Petty had been asked or appointed to be his attorney by the judge that day. From that day forward she handled his case in a professional and gracious manner. I remember her mentioning to me that she took his paperwork/case home with her and on vacation, trying to save him from getting life in prison and she did that. Ms. Petty has always returned my phone calls and as mom that is important. She has helped with understanding the hard legal process and explaining it to us (the families) so we are able to move on to the next season of our lives. Even today as I write this, I had called (many years later) to ask her about the laws that are taking effect and if my son is eligible? She called me back and answered all the questions that I had. There is a trust that we have with her because she did have our sons life in her hands. We are blessed that The Lord put her in our lives at such a tragic time. We all make an unhealthy choice at sometime and I believe my son should pay for his crime but with God and Laura Petty's help he doesn't have to for the rest of his life. He will get a second chance at life. Thank you again Ms. Petty and your team for all your hard work. God bless you. -Traci

"Laura Petty far exceeded my expectations as a criminal defense attorney. Her professional demeanor and "pull no punches" attitude along with her exuding amount of confidence gave me confidence and reassured me even more so with my situation. I would highly recommend her over and over again to anyone. 'SHE GOES HARDER IN COURT THAN YOU DO IN THE STREETS!'" -Charles

I wasn't so sure about Laura Petty. It was nothing she did- I was scared because of all the racism, prejudice and discrimination that is still happening today. My minor son was facing some real serious charges. I called around to look for another attorney. I called three different defense attorneys who all asked the same question, who is your son's defense attorney? I told them Laura Petty, they all had the same response- DON'T CHANGE HER! SHE'S ONE OF THE BEST. I was told by one attorney she will fight for your son. I thought to myself she must be a real good attorney if three attorneys who could have taken my money declined it. Man they was right!!! Laura Petty did not miss her calling, she is a BEAST!!! In the courtroom, she commands the courtroom with her knowledge of the law. She fought for my son like he was a kid of her own we got victory. If the outcome would have been different I would have given her the same review because I know she truly fought for my son. If you are looking for one of the best attorneys in Solano County, Laura Petty is your person. -Kim

My 17-year old son made some very bad choices. He was about to be charged as an adult with 2 strikes and 3 or so other charges... What impressed me most was that Laura truly cared about my son and his adult future... What made me happiest was she got the prosecution to drop the 2 strikes and he is getting the drug and alcohol in-house treatment that he needed, as opposed to being locked up as a juvenile or worse, up to 7 years as an adult. There are no words to express my gratitude and relief. Thank you again and God bless you Laura. -KG

the defense never rests
