Laurie Koller’s career is driven by a deep-seated commitment to justice and a legacy of standing up for the underdog. As the great-granddaughter of a West Virginia coal miner who lost his life in the mines, Laurie understands that a legal dispute is never just about a case—it’s about families, small businesses, and the communities they support.

After a decade in corporate defense, Laurie pivoted her practice to focus exclusively on championing those wronged by powerful systems. At Red Dirt Legal, she levels the playing field against institutions for real people who have been wronged. 

A Client-First Approach

Laurie believes that effective advocacy requires both strategic “muscle” and genuine empathy. Her practice is built on two core pillars:

  • Total Accessibility: To ensure no client feels like just another case file, Laurie provides her personal cell phone number to everyone she represents.
  • Trauma-Informed Advocacy: Recognizing the emotional weight of legal battles, Laurie utilizes specialized trauma-informed training to support her clients through their recovery and the litigation process.

Leadership & Recognition

A graduate of Duke University School of Law (1991), Laurie has tried over 100 cases and often appears in Super Lawyers. Her leadership extends across the legal community:

  • Former President of the Oklahoma Association for Justice.
  • Founder of the Women Trial Lawyers’ Collective, dedicated to mentoring women and minority attorneys.
  • Recipient of the League of Women Voters’ “Madam President Award” and author of Her Voice in Law.

For Laurie, the law is more than a profession; it is a tool for systemic change. By practicing with humility and fierce determination, she ensures that the voices of the silenced are finally heard.

“When I needed help, the group at Red Dirt Legal stepped in and took the bull by the horns – with positive and successful results. They always kept in touch with me, explaining the process until a positive result was in hand.”
