Laura E. Tobin

Laura’s practice focuses on estate planning, estate and trust administration, gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning, and elder law. Laura represents a broad range of clients including individuals planning their personal affairs, beneficiaries of estates and trusts, and individuals and professionals serving as executors, trustees and agents under powers of attorney. On estate planning matters, she works closely with her clients to understand their concerns and goals. Laura believes in a collaborative approach, and frequently works with her client’s financial advisor and accountant to create an estate plan tailored to the client’s unique circumstances. On probate and trust administration matters, Laura, with assistance from a paralegal, works closely with the executor and trustee to ensure that the administration is handled efficiently, and that the executor or trustee fulfills their fiduciary duties.

Before attending law school, Laura worked as an accountant at Coopers & Lybrand and became a CPA. After law school, Laura served as a law clerk for Justice Frederick J. Martone of the Arizona Supreme Court before joining Orr & Reno in 1993. In 2004, she became a founding member of Flood, Sheehan & Tobin, PLLC, a “boutique” estate and trust law firm, where she practiced until rejoining Orr & Reno in 2022.

Laura enjoys reading and spending time with her family.
