I am a dedicated criminal defense attorney at Nova Law Group, PLLC, committed to helping clients navigate the complexities of the legal system. My practice encompasses a wide range of criminal cases, from misdemeanors to high-level felonies. Throughout my career, I have remained focused on criminal defense, driven by a genuine commitment to protecting my clients' rights and futures.. Before joining Nova Law Group, I served as a deputy public defender with the Maricopa County Public Defender's Office. There, I honed my skills in legal advocacy and trial practice, gaining invaluable experience in defending individuals facing challenging circumstances.. At Nova Law Group, we understand the profound impact criminal charges can have on your life.

I am a Criminal Law Specialist certified by the State Bar of Arizona and I have been practicing law for 30 years.  I teach other attorneys how to challenge illegal searches. While some attorneys like to advertise that they are "former prosecutors," I am proud to say that I have NEVER been a prosecutor! Prosecutors usually have the evidence on their side so being a defense attorney takes much more ingenuity, preparation and skill.. I have represented numerous clients over the years and get many referrals from satisfied clients.  I handle all my own cases.  If you don't need me, I will tell you so.  I will be honest with you throughout my representation as to how your case is looking.. I have listed a few select cases in the "Cases" section to show you a sample of the type of work that I have done for clients. If you would like to speak with me about a criminal matter, I would be happy to meet with you at my office or speak over the phone. Thank you..

Hi. I’m Laura – and at some point, you’re probably going to need my help.. I’m an attorney, but I’m also your biggest ally in the complex world of business and technology. You don’t have to be a technology (or social media) expert to know how to run a business. And you don’t have to be a business person to run a technology company. But – you do need to know someone who can help you navigate the landscape of both of these arenas from a legal perspective. That’s where I come in.. A wide focus helps me see the full picture.. Unlike a lot of lawyers, my work is broad-based because it needs to be. My practice encompasses intellectual property, data privacy, employment, e-commerce/internet law, First Amendment/defamation, and business divorces. Through my vast experience across a wide range of practice areas I am able to foster the needs of savvy business owners (and not-so-savvy ones as well).. Your goals drive our relationship.. The most meaningful part of my client relationships aren’t always those considered “mission critical”, like litigation. While being a trial attorney is a large piece of my puzzle, I foster and empower entrepreneurs by understanding both how their business operates and how they want their business to succeed. My goal is to nurture my clients through collaboration, not just a strict to-the-letter view of the law.. An expert of the intersection of business and technology.. I frequently speak about and recommend the use of technology to lawyers and clients alike, because using technology for your business isn't just interesting; it’s practical and cost-efficient. The Internet is where the vast majority of business takes place. Whether they’re interacting with customers through email, the cloud, or e-commerce, I strive to make sure my clients are aware of the potential risks and rewards of using those platforms.

Graduated from Scottsdale Coronado High School , May 1966.. Admitted to Arizona State University September, 1966.  Political Science Major-pre law.  Obtained Bachelor of Arts Degree from Arizona State University in May, 1970.. June, 1970 Enlisted in Arizona Air National Guard, 161st Air Refuling Group, materials facilities specialist.. August 1970 Admitted to Arizona State University College of Law (now called Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law). Clerkship with Debus, Busy and Greene-1972. Internship with Arizona Attorney General's Office, Criminal Appeals Division. Internship with Hon. Paul LaPrade, Maricopa County Superior court Judge. 1973. Received Juris Doctorate Degree from ASU in September, 1973. Admitted to practice of law September, 1973. Assistant Phoenix City Prosecutor 1973-1977. Deputy Maricopa County Attorney 1977-81. Private practice 1981-present.. About to start my 43rd year of practicing law.  Early in my career I was a government prosecutor, going into court every day on behalf of the State of Arizona against various types of misdemeamor defendants.  After a few years there, I was hired by the Maricopa County Attnorney's office to prosecute felony cases.  I did that for about three years before entering private practice.  The time I spent as a prosecutor was invaluable.  I learned all about judges, juries, and having to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt.  I was very fortunate in those days to work with some of the best trial lawyers and judges in Arizona.  I was lead counsel in about 100 or so jury trials.  I even got to appear in front of Hon. Sandra Day O'Connor when she was a trial judge in Maricopa County Superior Court.  You could tell even then that she was destined for higher calling.  For those of us who were fortunate enough to have known her at that level, it was no surprise that she was selected by Pres. Ronald Reagan to be the first woman on the US Supreme Court.. When I first entered private practice, I handled mostly Domestic Relations cases-divorce, child custody, etc.  I also represented criminal defendants, misdemeanor, felony, DUI, etc.  In addition I had my first experiences representing people who had been injured, or families who lost a loved one, due to the negligence of others.(commonly referred to as Personal Injury and Wrongful Death). Because I had been involved in so many prosecutions that focused on the harm done to the victim(s) of crime, it was an easy transition to representing the people and families who had been harmed by the negligence of others.  So it seems like my entire career, in one form or another, I have tried to help balance the scales of justice on behalf of people harmed by a wrongdoer.  In the past 20 years I have focused on personal injury, wrongful death and criminal defense, including many DUI's and traffic-related cases.  I believe that being on both sides of these cases, as attorney for the victim  and the accused, is of mutual benefit to my clients.  Knowing how the "other side" works helps me on either side.. Although I worked initially in private practice with a group of four  other lawyers, since 1983 I have been a sole practicioner, incorporating officially into William S. Chick, PC in 1984.  I have maintained that business profile ever since.. I have practiced all over the State of Arizona, but primariliy in Maricopa County. As far as my personal approach to the practice of law, I always try to remember the sage advice of my grandfather who told me: "if you take care of your flock, your flock will  take care of you".  I try to treat every case, big or small, in a way that will exempify the best in the legal profession.  I do my best to give each and every client a dedicated, diligent, and thoroughly professional representation.  I have been blessed with excellent paralegals and support staff over the years and look forward to many more opportunites to be of service to my clients.  .
