Best Family Law Attorney in Boston!

I interviewed three attorney’s before deciding to retain Lauren. Based on my experience there is no better family law attorney in Boston. Lauren always kept me focused on the task at hand, provided me with support and was in constant contact with me through the whole process (which was complicated a...t times). Lauren’s court demeanor was outstanding and I was very satisfied with the final results. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone who needs expert legal advice.

Advocacy and results

Lauren was an incredible advocate and got me results that I had not imagined possible. I can't recommend Lauren enough. She was exactly the talented, assertive proponent that I needed to get me through an arduous process. Four years ago, I made the mistake of using a mediator to create my di...vorce agreement. I was duped into making sacrifices and compromises that worked against me. It was a significant effort to untangle it all, and Lauren accomplished it through fierce advocacy, tireless dedication, and no-nonsense attitude. A few things about Lauren that make her ridiculously effective: 1) She might be psychic. My former spouse has a personality disorder that makes her volatile and unpredictable (to me.) Lauren was able to anticipate her actions and reactions from the start. I soon inherently trusted Lauren's judgement even when it seemed counterintuitive to me ... and she was right every time. 2) She doesn't take any crap. Lauren is aggressive when she needs to be. The first time I saw this in Lauren, it was on a minor point of contention with the opposing attorney, and I wondered what the big deal was. I later realized the brilliance of it and was stunned at how effective it was. In fact, my court day was perfectly placid, because the opposing attorney knew exactly what Lauren is capable of. 3) Lauren will call your on your own bullsh*t. A number of times I fell back into a 'victim' mode and was willing to compromise on things I shouldn't. Lauren snapped me back to reality each time. The outcome I got would not have been accomplished without Lauren pushing me past my own hesitancies. 4) She knows how to get results. I had imagined a few adjustments in the modification that I wanted to file. She shared, very convincingly, the areas where I was being put at a disadvantage and how to remedy them. In negotiations with opposing counsel, she was steadfast in her assertions. The result was an outcome SIGNIFICANTLY better than I had imagined.

Most Dedicated Family Attorney EVER!!!!

I literally cannot say enough about attorney Popovitch. My case was incredibly challenging, but she made me feel confident even in my darkest hours. She understands how hard legal battles can be for kids and families, and she treats you as though you and your case are all that matters – I felt like s...he was fighting for her own children at times! Her knowledge of both case and family law is immense, as is her devotion and dedication to her clients. Even on days when I felt like giving up, she kept fighting, refusing to back down. Her confidence gave me hope, and many days it was her empathy that gave me the energy to keep going. Some days she would call me up just to ask how I was doing and to offer a supportive word, reassuring me that I was in good hands. Attorney Popovitch is by far the best attorney I’ve ever worked with, and hiring her was the best decision I could have made!!!!

Strong Advocate during a Tough Time

Divorce is never easy or fun but it is possible to get through it with the right help. I've never hired a lawyer before so I started with a Google search and starting looking through reviews. I was impressed by Lauren's plethora of positive reviews and set up a free consultation. After a brief chat, ...I knew Lauren was the right advocate for me. She took my case personally and, when things were tough, I knew she felt for me. Lauren is knowledgeable about divorce proceedings and aggressive at getting to the bottom of the issue and leaving no stone unturned. We were able to find hidden accounts and spending that I was not aware of which helped me prove my case and receive a fair settlement. I cannot recommend Lauren strongly enough. A++

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.
