Had my back all the way!

So there's that moment you realize you need a lawyer, and the search begins. You feel totally lost, and never thought you'd even need a lawyer, but you do. And then you find someone like Lauren, meet with her, and all of a sudden you can breathe again. During our first meeting, I explained my situati...on: a long-term domestic partnership break-up with shared property (condo purchase) and other financial complications on the line. I was feeling pressured to concede to money to my ex-partner during an initial mediation session, and it did not sit right with me, since I knew my rights as an unmarried cohabitant. It was complicated, because of the long-term nature of my relationship with my partner, she was like my wife, like family, but not legally or technically ever my wife. So the lines were blurry to me, but not to Lauren. When I couldn’t find a way to resolve issues with my partner in mediation I turned to Lauren for advice on the law, my rights, and how to resolve the dispute with my partner. I felt like I was in good hands; I had Lauren's wisdom, insights, experience, and tough-but-fair approach on my side. And she’s funny! She was confident that, after hearing my side of the situation, that it would settle, and she knew how to get a positive outcome. She led me through all the steps needed to get our situation to settle and for me to come away with a very fair financial outcome. I have no complaints. My voice was heard. I was consulted on every step, and she took my feeling and concerns into consideration. To put it plainly, by going with Lauren, I didn't get screwed or give up a more then I should. It was a difficult couple of months, but Lauren had my back all the way. She’s an excellent communicator and very organized and professional. I can't recommend her enough.

There is none like her!

My heart is filled with so much gratitude for Lauren's support and representation during this season of my life. I thought I had a slam dunk of a case, with mounds of emails and text messages proving my case - so on day one of my case I didnt have an attorney to represent me. This was the worse ...idea of a lifetime. I left feeling as though I was a horrible person for trying to protect my child from his fathers dangerous lifestyle. I felt attacked and bullied by the "mediator" that was in charge of our case that day. My mind was boggled. How could they be so lenient on someone who was clearly not being responsible and was putting his son in danger? I didn't want to get an attorney but if I had to do it, it was going to be the absolute best attorney. I can be the peaceful advocate, who prefers not to fight so I knew I needed someone who was strong, confident and determined to fight through to the end. I had researched family attorneys on and off for years because I knew most likely I would need one. Shortly after my first court date, I began researching again and this angel of an attorney appeared. I read the reviews and saw her accolades and I knew I wanted her to be my attorney. The moment I reached out to her I felt extremely comfortable, like I was speaking to a really good friend who just happened to be a very savvy and passionate attorney! This relationship remained consistent as the case went on. Lauren is dedicated not only to her craft but to her clients, each as individuals. She works swiftly, strategically and is always aware of her time (my money) and faught for me and the best interest of my family. It was expensive, but she is worth every pretty penny! There were times that I was discouraged and frustrated because let's face it, going to court is draining and emotionally exhausting but she kept encouraging and reminding me that everything was going to be ok. She is a straight shooting - no nonsense kind of attorney. I always knew what to expect and felt protected every step of the way. She will seriously not stop fighting for you! I kept thinking to myself, "she is a little pit bull", because she would just not give up and would not let anyone bully her or me! I am so glad that I found Lauren! I was so confident in her and what she was going to accomplish, that I referred a good friend to her before my case was even closed. She is absolutely phenomenal and was able to provide me with everything that I needed to win my case and protect my son, which was my ultimate goal. Thank you Lauren! You are VERY much appreciated!!! No words can express my gratitude for everything that you did!

Tenacious

Lauren represented me in my divorce and a contempt hearing for my ex-wife. She is a real go-getter and will get the job done. Her determination, dedication, and attention to detail helped facilitate the difficult process of divorce into a seamless and manageable experience. I would definitely recomme...nd her for anything pertaining to matters involving issues that arise from failed or rocky relationships.

Great Attorney!

Ms. Popovitch has been representing me in my divorce case which has been going on for 2+ years. She is an extremely talented attorney. Not only is she smart, but her attention to detail is flawless. My case has been extremely complicated. However, Ms. P has stood tall and weathered the storm at e...very turn. She is fabulous in the courtroom. She is tough as nails and extremely thorough. Her communication skills are excellent and she always has followed up with me promptly after any major event in my case. I would highly recommend Ms. P to anyone seeking assistance in the family law space. You won't find better counsel.

Confident and assertive in a very difficult and tense situation

When I was blindsided after 16 years with a modification complaint seeking to extend and greatly increase my child support, plus pay for tuition to an extremely expensive college, I needed to find a good attorney fast. I found Lauren’s former firm online and luckily for me Lauren answered the phone ...that day. When Lauren started her own practice partway through my case, there was no question I would remain with her. She’s easy to talk to and really seems to care about each of her clients. Lauren’s also refreshingly honest and blunt, which I really appreciated. When there were factors that weren’t in my favor, she told me so directly. But she quickly determined what was to my advantage and got to work right away protecting me. Lauren was confident and assertive in dealing with a very difficult and tense situation. My ex-wife, an attorney making several multiples of my income, represented herself and didn’t want to compromise or concede a single point. She objected to everything and kept filing unwarranted motions and complaints. But Lauren knew just what to do. She promptly and effectively countered each objection and document, and she knew exactly how the court and a third party mediator would weigh each aspect of the case. Almost every single thing that Lauren predicted would happen did happen! In the end Lauren’s knowledge and tenacity led to a fair settlement commensurate with my income, which was all that I could ask for and far less than I was facing. If you’re looking for great representation in a family law matter, you can’t go wrong with Lauren Popovitch.
