Lauren Popovitch

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.

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!

I hired Lauren for a for a separation case which involved a valuable piece of property and I couldn't have been happier with my choice of lawyer. She was always there when I needed her, consistently ahead of the game at each step in the legal process, always over-prepared compared to other attorneys ...(also made sure I was always prepared mentally and emotionally for each step), knew when to hold the hard line and when to also bend (although very little) to keep the case moving in the right direction. She's exactly what you want in an attorney in every way. She'll take you in like you're family and protect you and your interests as if you were her own. Simply the best, don't bother hiring anyone else.

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.

I hired Lauren to represent me in my divorce after reading all the great reviews on AVVO. She was 100% in my corner from day one and always had my best interests at heart. My emotions ran high during the case and she was always there to talk me off the ledge. Her knowledge of the law is solid. She ...presented well thought out arguments with an effective delivery and proved herself to be very much a strategic thinker. She was always 100% prepared for each court appearance, Getting married is easy; getting unmarried, not so much. I'm very thankful I had Lauren on my side.
