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.

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!

The only attorney you want representing you!

Attorney Popovitch is the only attorney you want representing you. Her drive, determination, and knowledge of case law are unmatched. She will keep you fully informed and educated throughout your entire litigation. Attorney Popovitch was able to rectify two huge mistakes my previous counsel allowe...d me to make, waiving child support and agreeing to shared physical custody. With Lauren in my corner fighting the fight, and never backing down, my children now receive financial support and have a custody agreement that mirrors our parenting schedule. Stop searching and call her today, you will not be disappointed!

The Best!

I hired Lauren and this review is solely based on my personal experience. I wanted to hire a good lawyer who could efficiently help me with my divorce issues. Choosing the right lawyer was a challenge and it took me a long time to decide. I initially contacted Lauren after reading all the positiv...e reviews and a great deal of careful consideration. During the first consultation, I felt that she was the right person to represent me. She had the positive energy and strategic thinking. She was ready to fight for my divorce battle without settling for less, and I knew that I was making the right decision. She has been phenomenal since day one. She always kept me updated promptly with the progress and was quick to respond to my questions. She was accessible and easy to communicate. She has a great communication skill and a pleasant personality. The entire divorce process was extremely stressful but she always made sure that I was ok. Her genuine and fun personality made my days at the court much more enjoyable. The fee was expensive but the result I got was much more than I could ask for and I could not have done it without her. I am very happy that I hired Lauren and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce lawyer, except my ex spouse.

Aggressive when I couldn't be, sympathetic when I needed it

I initially contacted Lauren for advice and information on the possibility that I would need to retain her services for my divorce, which I ultimately did. I was incredibly happy that I made that decision. Lauren was understanding and sympathetic when she needed to be, but I knew I would have a hard ...time being assertive enough to stand up for myself legally, and she made it clear from the beginning that she would do whatever it took to get me what I deserved. She never hesitated to stand up for me or advocate for me. She was organized, methodical and conscientious of my time, as time is money, particularly in a case like this, which reassured me throughout the process. She was aggressive where it was necessary, and a sympathetic ear when I needed it. My case was by no means a difficult one in terms of assets or property, but I was often very emotional during my case, and she was genuinely concerned about me throughout those months. I also felt like our personalities worked very well together, and her sharing parts of her life with me made it feel easier to do that with her, which helped me get through everything. I'm sure most lawyers could have gotten the job done, but not like Lauren. I couldn't be happier that I hired her.
