Please stop and read this review!!

If you are searching through this site and looking for an excellent attorney, I urge you to take a moment to read this review. I found Attorney Popovitch a few years ago when I too found myself here searching for an attorney to represent me. I had been through a challenging divorce and now going ...through post-divorce modification with a narcissistic ex-spouse. My original divorce attorney was good but his office was one hour from court, he was at the end of his career, and I didn’t feel he could represent me any longer. I was concerned about switching attorneys very far into my case and my only regret now is that I didn’t have Attorney Popovitch representing me from day one. She is a BRILLIANT attorney and a fierce advocate for her clients. She TRULY wants to protect you and what is in the best interest of your children if you have them. Lauren pretty much has a photographic memory and she takes the time to understand all the ins and outs of your case so she can represent you to be best extent possible. When my ex’s counsel found out I hired Lauren, she became very upset and called her right away to let her know, she then removed herself from the case about a month or so later. This is because people know how excellent Lauren is. She has a reputation for not missing anything and she is extremely honest. In all aspects of your case she will be straight, to the point and represent what’s correct. If you go to trial, you will be so thankful to have her in your corner. Although trial was not where I wanted to go, I was so impressed to witness her in action. She clearly has the respect of the courts as she does not manipulate the truth and only focuses on the law and following the rules of the court with the upmost respect and integrity. I honestly was embarrassed for the other attorney during my trial while Lauren impeached their client repeatedly and basically ran circles around them. When I was searching for an attorney, I read reviews similar to what I am saying now. They were not kidding, she is by far the best attorney. Lauren also has a co-counsel at her firm who is also excellent and 100% like Lauren, brilliant, always doing what’s right and protecting you and your best interests. Their office staff was also very helpful, kind, polite and very professional when I would call with questions. I urge you, if you need representation, call Lauren today and pray she can take your case on.

So great I used her again

I used Lauren several years ago for my divorce and she was incredibly effective back then and I was very pleased with her performance in court. I recently started a custody modification so I naturally went back to Lauren. She has been crucial to uncovering all of the evidence related to my custody ba...ttle and finding out information that my ex was hiding from me. She stops at nothing to make an excellent case for me and I feel confident the outcome is better than I could have ever expected because of her hard work.

Fiercest Advocate I Could Have Asked For! Best Trial Attorney Out There

I worked with Lauren for over two and a half years, and my case eventually went to trial. I don't think I could've gotten through the whole ordeal without her as my attorney. Despite how terrible the circumstances were, choosing Lauren to represent me was one of the best decisions I've ever made in m...y life. To start, the way that Lauren interacts with her clients is just one of the many reasons that she is an amazing attorney-- she is extremely compassionate, unbelievably caring, and is super responsive to her clients. It is quite apparent that she becomes personally invested in your case, and you will never doubt that she will do everything possible to get you and your family the best possible outcome. If you want an attorney that you can trust, look no further. She will have your back, and she will do everything she can to help you. She was always available to answer questions, to talk me through things, or to collaborate. Unlike how it sounds with many other attorneys, you work together with Lauren. As for how Lauren is in the courtroom, you DO NOT want her on the opposing side. She is absolutely incredible in the courtroom! She is poised, extraordinarily thorough, and she will know your case inside out. Throughout our many court appearances together, I was always so impressed with how Lauren handled whatever came our way. She puts a great deal of effort into every piece of paperwork submitted to the court, and truly puts other attorneys' efforts to shame. The difference between Lauren's representation and the other lawyers that I observed in court was night and day. Lauren also has an extensive knowledge of case law, which was weaved into every motion, argument, and pleading we submitted to the court. Lauren attempted to facilitate a reasonable settlement several times throughout the case, but the other side wouldn't budge. As such, Lauren was tough where we needed to be and didn't back down, and acted as the best advocate I could have asked for. As far as billing, everyone knows that divorce/custody/litigation is extremely expensive. Lauren has been above and beyond in terms of fairness. She has always worked with me around my budget, and her billing is EXTREMELY honest and transparent. All in all, I can't express how much I appreciate all the work that Lauren has done for myself and my child, and couldn't recommend her more highly. I can confidently say that she is probably of the very best lawyers in the Northeast, and she's just an absolute rockstar at what she does. I feel incredibly lucky that I found her, and working with her was one of the brightest spots in a dark period of time. You will never doubt her integrity or capability, and she will be your biggest supporter.

Toughest Family Lawyer

If you want to give yourself the very best chance of prevailing in court, then hire Attorney Popovitch. I’ve been in an out of Middlesex family court multiple times over the last 20 years for divorce proceedings, custody and support issues, and various cross complaints for contempt. I wasted tens... of thousands of dollars on different attorneys who put forth a pro forma effort. I also represented myself pro se, and didn’t do much worse. Recently, my ex returned for a sizable, last-gasp money grab, so I decided I needed to find intelligent and aggressive representation. After scouring internet reviews, I contacted Attorney Popovitch. Turned out to best decision I ever made. Attorney Popovitch saw me within days for an initial consultation. She poured over my documents like a physician in triage, and quickly zeroed in on the relevant case law among the stacks of binders marked with post-it notes covering her desk. Her initial assessment of the strength of my case was ultimately borne out in the final court judgment. You will be hard-pressed to find a more zealous attorney to represent your interests. Indeed, the sweat was literally pouring off opposing counsel during our hearing. She is also scrupulously frank, so expect to hear the hard truth if you don’t have a case. She is extremely focused and cost-conscious, so does not waste any time or money. Another advantage of retaining Attorney Popovitch is that she is intimately familiar with the Middlesex court. She is a fierce -- no ferocious -- advocate who knows her stuff inside and out.

Couldn’t have chosen a better divorce attorney!

I hired Lauren after going through a difficult mediation process that left me at a disadvantage. Since it wasn’t legally binding the agreement was simply ignored, putting me at risk of becoming a “summer vacation dad”. I was hesitant about taking a lawyer because I worried too much about costs and t...ime spent. Looking back, it was the mediation that was a waste of time and money while Lauren was worth every penny I spent. Lauren pursued an energetic and aggressive strategy right to the end that proved absolutely effective, and I got all I wanted- a fair agreement equally splitting both parenting time and the financial burden. Lauren has a persistent, assertive style but also knows when its time to compromise and move forward. She kept me fully informed throughout the process, I always had a clear picture of where things stand and what the strategy is. She was always a few steps ahead in planning. Lauren is always there for her clients, very focused and hard working. That translates to surprisingly reasonable costs, which was a pleasant surprise. Last but not least, her healthy sense of humor put a smile on my face during a difficult time! Thank you Lauren for your dedication, attention to details and strong backing through a challenging process! Thanks to you I can now look ahead with optimism and satisfaction to being a full parent to my kids!
