Twenty six years ago I never dreamed I would be in need of a family law attorney...but the day came, and so I did what we all do, googled, as well as ask friends and family members, for the names of attorneys who could walk alongside me through one of the most difficult times of my life, and fight for me.
I interviewed several attorneys that came highly recommended and settled on one with decades of experience, and what I thought was a good reputation within his profession. Months later, and tens of thousands of dollars later as well, after being double and triple billed, attorney client privileges broken, unethical practices, and without my case anywhere near resolved, I fired him and sought other counsel. Sadly, my new counsel, though honest and fair in her billing practices, and with integrity, was unreachable most of the time and did not fight for me in the ways an attorney should, and so I found myself looking for another who could help bring my case to a close.
To be fair, my divorce was complicated. Several businesses involved, and a spouse with a personality disorder who was making life almost unbearable. And then it happened, I was referred to Lauren. I was told, "I know you've had two very bad experiences, but she will restore your faith in the profession." Lauren was described to me as a 'shark with integrity', and that is exactly what I got. From my very first interaction with her, until the last, I was seen and heard and fought for. She knew my case better in the first days than the previous attorney did after months. Lauren was available and kept me informed every step of the way. She broke things down so that I knew what to expect, counseled me in how to move forward, encouraged me, and fought for me. I had friends and people in my life who had went through divorces and had had poor experiences and were hearing what Lauren was doing for me, and every single one said, "oh, I wish I'd had her as my attorney".
In her I had found someone I could trust. I knew she had it handled. She worked tirelessly on my behalf, and I saw right out of the gate she was a force to be reckoned with. If I were an attorney, I would NEVER want to be opposing counsel. And coming from a family of attorneys, she understands the profession inside and out, and respects the power that comes with it.
Lauren took what was a very stressful event in my life and turned it around to a place where, if I could, I would stand at the front of every courthouse and pass out her card and tell people it's going to be okay if you have her on your side.
If you are in a place where you find yourself in need of a family law attorney, someone you can trust and will fight for you, someone who knows their profession, not just from the time she's been an attorney, but who grew up in a home learning what it was to serve their clients well, and if you are interested in billing that is more than fair, and easy to understand, and if you desire the best possible outcome in your case after the worst possible outcome of your marriage, Lauren is the one to call. My case came to a close, and though I was beyond over the moon it had, and was thrilled with what Lauren did for me, I truly was sad to lose the regular contact I had grown accustomed to. Lauren is not only a phenomenal family law attorney, she is also a wonderful human being.
