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

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!

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.

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!
