David against Goliath perseverance!!

After being married for 23 years and enduring an extremely difficult divorce, my prior lawyer(s) left me without alimony or child support leaving me hesitant to enter the legal ring again. I knew that I was misrepresented and needed to find someone who could help me through this next challenge of mod...ifying my divorce decree; then I found Lauren. Lauren met with me for a consultation and listened to my story. Lauren's expertise, skill and qualifications were exactly what I was looking for. Lauren is prompt, direct, experienced and not afraid to challenge those issues that she knows are within the law and for the benefit of her client. Numerous times she was in a position of having to recall prior rulings to support her legal motions, and having the advantage to prove my case was a victory for me in the end. Lauren is fair, aggressive and direct with her expectations and her colleagues respect her for that. Lauren is not afraid to confront those who challenge her cases and does so with amazing insight into the law, and how it is to be supported in her cases. Lauren was available for me when I needed a quick question answered and her response to my inquiries were promptly answered. I can't thank Lauren enough for her being prepared for each court date, deposition and meetings we had. She is a respected attorney in her field, and she duly deserves it. Lauren won my case, and I could not have done it without her. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

Smart and tenancious lawyer

I highly recommend Lauren as a smart and tenacious lawyer.  She went up against my ex’s high-priced downtown Boston lawyers and made them look silly.  She knew the law better than they did.  She didn’t waste time or money on things that might have looked good but had no bearing on the trial.  I appre...ciated that she explained our choices, what the chances of winning a point were and the costs of doing so.  Thus, I spent a third of what my ex did and ended up with more than what I was ready to pay during mediation.

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.

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++

Absolutely Brilliant

Lauren is absolutely brilliant! I was looking for the most competent attorney in town. I went through an extensive search before choosing Lauren for my representation. From day one, Lauren was caring, available and honest. She has a no-nonsense approach, is extremely organized, and her guidance and... wisdom has been instrumental in alleviating the stress of my divorce. Lauren is very professional. I have had only positive interactions with her and I am sure if there was an issue, she would work it out immediately. She is very fair, engaging, and easy to interact with. She cares deeply about the quality of her work and I always feel she has my best interest at heart. I am particularly impressed with how she responds to my questions in such a timely manner, providing precise and helpful feedback each and every time. Lauren is a rare kind of gifted professional that goes “above and beyond”. I am so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services.
