The Military Lawyer You Can Rely On: Their Story

From Academic Excellence to Warrior Advocacy

Laura Kiker’s journey to becoming a Warrior Advocate® began with academic distinction at Duke University, where she graduated cum laude with dual majors in Classical Languages and Classical Civilizations, achieving a 3.8 GPA while serving as an Honor Council Class of 2012 Counselor. Her classical education provided her with the analytical rigor and communication skills that would prove invaluable in legal practice, while her service on the Honor Council demonstrated her early commitment to justice and fair representation. This foundation of academic excellence and ethical leadership continued at Washington and Lee University School of Law, where she earned her Juris Doctor and received the Exceptional Service Award for over 100 hours of pro bono legal service.

Her passion for serving others extended far beyond the classroom, as evidenced by her year as Miss Virginia USA 2014-2015, during which she traveled extensively throughout Virginia promoting healthy living and exercise while providing crucial support to wounded troops. This experience introduced her to the challenges facing injured service members and their families, planting the seeds for her future career in military advocacy. Her diverse background also includes professional ballet, performing as a company dancer with the Texas Metropolitan Ballet while mentoring younger dancers, demonstrating the discipline, grace under pressure, and commitment to excellence that now characterizes her legal practice. Even her personal caregiving experience, providing 70 hours per week of geriatric and end-of-life care to a critically ill elderly patient, reflects her deep compassion and dedication to helping others during their most difficult moments.
