The best in the field

Lauren is one of a kind. Extremely professional, pedantic, true fighter and extremely knowledgeable attorney. I was fortunate enough to have her by my side for 3 years, and amount of support, timely actions, and methodically planned court strategies have yielded numerous positive outcomes in these la...st 3 years. Lauren is the most honest attorney that I have ever encountered. When called for, she will play devil's advocate and will always tell you what you NEED to hear, and what is in the best interest of your family. Throughout the entire process Lauren was straightforward with me, never sugarcoated anything and never made promises she could not keep. When the court date comes, she is over-prepared, and ready to fight. She advocated fiercely for the best interests of my son. No matter who you have as an opposing counsel and no matter how unethically they conduct themselves, Lauren will dismantle them and their strategies until she gains results she finds best for you and your family, whether that is custody, child support or visitation schedules. I cannot highly recommend Lauren Popovitch. If you end up in a situation that you need a family law attorney, don't waste time and money calling anyone else-you need Lauren

Best decision - highly recommend

In a difficult divorce case that took 3 years, I was very fortunate to have Lauren as my attorney from start to finish. Our case was especially complicated because of custody and important decisions involving a child with special needs. From the very beginning, she was clear about setting realistic e...xpectations and strategies to resolve issues. She is a skilled attorney and an effective communicator. During the entire process, she listened to my concerns, took them seriously, and addressed them in a timely manner. In addition to being a strong advocate, she is thorough in reviewing documents and organized in her preparations for hearings. She defended me and protected me tirelessly from accusations and intimidations. I am so grateful to have Lauren as my attorney during my divorce process and I can’t thank her enough.

Tenacious, Knowledgeable, and Considerate Advocate

Lauren is nothing short of fantastic. I had a complicated situation in which the other party was erratic and not acting in good faith, which took a clear emotional toll on our child. Lauren and her team were heavily invested in helping me counter the other party’s erratic and bad faith behavior, whil...e remaining intently focused on what was in my child’s best interest. This included setting realistic expectations throughout the process, describing trade offs to different options, and being fully supportive while also telling me what I needed to hear, not just what I wanted to hear. Strategically, Lauren consistently outmaneuvered the opposing party, in negotiations with other counsels she was unwavering, and at trial she routinely made opposing counsels look woefully underprepared by comparison. Perhaps the best testament to Lauren’s skill is the fact that the opposing party went through a revolving door of lawyers, while I only needed Lauren and her team to deliver excellent outcomes for both me and my child. If you need a lawyer who will expertly tackle complicated cases, work tirelessly on your behalf, and never lose sight of what is in the best interest of you and your children, I strongly recommend speaking with Lauren and her team. I’m very thankful I had her in my corner, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Lauren is absolutely superb!!!

I don’t easily get impressed with people since I work with the top scientists in the world. However, I am really impressed with Lauren and give Lauren 5 out of 5 for the following reasons. I got divorced in 2016 and have a shared custody of my son. My ex got remarried. She then decided to make my... life miserable by filing multiple cases in 2020. I was totally blindsided, and did not know where to begin. Luckily, I got Lauren’s reference from a friend. Lauren was very responsive from day one and within no time, she knew everything about my cases. My ex had hired a super aggressive attorney who implemented nasty tactics. However, Lauren was able to defend the cases very well.. Her entire team is really good. I saw Lauren’s emails during weekends, late at nights. She worked round the clock on my cases. I can’t thank Lauren enough for such a good outcome and always standing by me. I can see why Lauren is rated as one of the top attorneys and received so many awards. Lauren is not only super intelligent but also really good when it comes to drafting agreements. She corrected all the errors in the separation agreement that I made at the time of divorce (I wish I had hired Lauren during my divorce). Many thanks to Lauren and her team. If Lauren was a sportsperson instead of an attorney, she would have won a bunch of Olympic gold medals in shooting by hitting the bullseye every time.. She is always that precise and accurate in her legal arguments and preparation.

Would give 10 if I could: Lauren is a genius!

Lauren is the best advocate I ever worked with! She won my very difficult case, that had minuscule chance of success to begin with; just four years ago, I lost custody case and got only shared physical/legal custody of my girl, even though her wish was to live with me. This time, Lauren, together wit...h her skillful legal team, helped me not only to get full physical custody of my daughter, but in addition we won my daughter’s removal from US, which is extremely difficult!
