Laura J.
Wetsch
Laura J. Wetsch was born in Fargo, North Dakota, a
really long time ago. She graduated from
the University of North Dakota in 1982 (major: political science; minors: English
and history), and from the University of North Dakota School of Law in
1985. Following law school, Laura worked
in a law firm in a small town in North Dakota, representing all manner of
businesses and agricultural concerns, and then served for 2 ˝ years as a law
clerk to a federal judge in North Dakota, handling responsibility for
employment law cases, Social Security appeals, and large business disputes,
among other things. After her clerkship,
Laura went back into private practice in a very small town, handling indigent
criminal defense, wills and estates, real estate transactions, trusts, private
and business contracts, and business disputes.
In 1991 Laura moved to North Carolina, where she was admitted to the NC
Bar and practiced with a medium sized Raleigh firm until 1999, when she
associated herself with Joyce L. Davis & Associates as an independent
attorney. When Joyce passed away in
early 2006, she teamed up with her partner, Everette, and formed Winslow
Wetsch, PLLC.
Over
the past twenty years Laura has analyzed and addressed all manner of legal
dilemmas facing individuals and businesses.
For the past fifteen years, she has represented North Carolina employees
and businesses on virtually every conceivable employment law issue (discrimination,
harassment, retaliation, leave issues, disability issues (including long-term
disability claims), wage and hour issues, formation and implementation of
policies, etc.), as well as contract preparation and review, corporate
management, and litigation. Many years
ago (when she was “young”), Laura authored “The Crime Survivors Handbook,” a
project of the Young Lawyers Division of the North Carolina Bar; most recently,
Laura authored an extensive legal paper on harassment law. Laura is currently the chair of the North
Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers Employment Law Section.
Laura is
married, with four kids who have hungry mouths to feed and need shoes.
