Laura Vogel
WONF Director and 
Lawyer for Harman International

Phone: 248-705-1955 (c)
Brief Biography
​A licensed patent attorney by trade, I handle all manner of commercial transactions for Harman (yes, that Harman, the electronics company that makes JBL speakers). I have run for township clerk and 'learned', and I am currently serving in my 10th year as a GOP precinct delegate. I was awarded Pro Bono attorney of the year by Lakeshore Legal Aid in 2018. And, as you can see from my profile photo, I try to avoid taking myself too seriously.
