Laura Atkins

Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida

I am a Florida native; born and raised in St. Petersburg. After graduating from Boston University, I joined the Americorp National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) program.  During my year with Americorp, I worked with a variety of underserved communities across the United States...doing everything from building houses in Alabama to helping disadvantaged youth successfully enter the job market in California.

Ever since I can remember, my life’s ambition has been to strengthen the voice of those who deserve to be heard and are often silenced, to stand up and fight those tough fights, and to level the playing field between those in power and the general public.  So after Americorps, I decided to pursue my passion through the law.  I came back home to St. Pete and went to law school at Stetson University College of Law.  While in law school, I was a member of the Stetson honors program, a student editor for an international legal journal, a teaching fellow in the legal research and writing clinic, and a teaching assistant for the director of Stetson’s legal research and writing program.  I graduatedcum laude and was granted membership with the National Order of Scribes for outstanding legal writing while in law school.

I now have the opportunity to realize my dreams of helping people through my work at Luhrsen Law Group.  As an attorney and case manager, I dedicate my time to the needs of our clients.
