Laura T. Marsh
Partner
Market District
I love practicing law because it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and provides new challenges each day. I never stop learning and enjoy helping others make important life and business decisions. I am blessed to work with what I believe are the best attorneys and clients in the State of Georgia.
