Lake Oswego Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Overview
Laura Kalur was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Her father was a medical malpractice attorney defending doctors and hospitals and she fell in love with trial law and medicine at an early age.
After graduating from Law School in Oregon, Laura started her career on the defense side, but quickly learned that her heart and soul lay with protecting patients (plaintiffs), not insurance companies. She has practiced exclusively as a plaintiff’s attorney representing injured patients for over 22 years. To Laura, plaintiffs work is not simply a job, it is a passion and a calling that requires skill, experience, tenacity, and dedication. She prides herself on being approachable and easily accessible to her clients. A strong attorney-client relationship and bond is critical to achieving the best results possible. She understands the lives of her clients have usually been turned upside down by injury and takes the time to understand each client’s personal experience and needs.
Ms. Kalur started her own firm in 2007 and has never looked back. While she started her career in Oregon, she quickly branched out and began taking cases all over the country. She has handled mass tort cases involving defective medical devices and a wide variety of medical negligence and wrongful death cases and catastrophic injury cases. These cases have taken her all over the country where she has done depositions, settlement mediations and tried cases in state and federal courts. Through this wide range and depth of experience, she has developed an invaluable network of medical experts and attorneys which enables her to provide exceptional services to injured patients, no matter where they are located in this country.
Being healthy one moment and facing life altering disability the next moment is horrifying. Laura strives to give her clients the compassion and legal representation they deserve.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
