Laura Ferret

About

Laura joins Sims, Lawrence, and Broghammer with extensive litigation experience. Laura acted as managing partner at BPE Law Group, overseeing the firm’s real estate and business litigation practice. There, Laura leveraged her real estate expertise to represent clients in disputes involving partnerships, easements, boundary lines, quiet title actions, partitions, nondisclosure, financial elder abuse, fraud, bankruptcy, and administrative matters, as well as presenting frequently in real estate seminars and classes.

Her current practice predominantly focuses on personal injury litigation and defending the Human Service Industry.

Laura was attracted to the legal profession by two key considerations. First, by her compassionate motivation to help others, a sentiment evident in her enjoyment of trial work, where she can channel her determination to see fairness and justice implemented for her clients in the courtroom. And second, by her love of literature and written language, from which she draws daily to draft effective and compelling court briefs.

Balancing her clear passion for effective litigation, Laura is also highly skilled in alternative dispute resolution, exercising discernment as to when going to trial is appropriate and when utilizing creative solutions will obtain the best results for her client’s goals.

Background and Education

Laura earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of California, Davis School of Law, following receipt of her bachelor’s degree, cum laude and with distinction, from Sonoma State University. She is a member of the California State Bar, admitted to practice in all the State Courts of California and the Eastern District of California.

While pursuing her legal education, Laura joined the family law clinic to earn early courtroom experience, as well as a public interest law certificate. She worked summers in community legal service to the elderly, victims of domestic violence, and low-income population. Her undergraduate activities include work as a teaching assistant in literature, taking masters level literature courses by invitation, participating in the University literary magazine, and competing in recreational swimming and water polo programs.

Laura was recognized by Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
