Excellent Advocate

Lauren advised me on how best handle a ticket for DUI. She listened to me and my situation and gave me great advise. I was extremely happy with the outcome.

poor decision

I retained Lauren for a criminal case and was not happy with her representation. She failed to appear at my arraignment, claiming that the clerk had told her 'her attendance was not needed,' when in fact it was needed. Her attitude was very unprofessional towards me. Most importantly, she failed to l...et me know of the consequences that would result when accepting my plea agreement. When asked later if she knew, her response was that she 'had no idea.' Later, doing a quick google search revealed the information. I depending on Lauren for expert legal knowledge, counsel, and representation and I feel this is not what I received. I would not recommend.

Timely, Gives Excellent Information

Scardella helped me with my case. I was extremely nervous with the outcome, but she assured me the procedures and different paths we could take. She was always on time, responded to my questions quickly, and knew exactly what she was talking about. She even looked up outcomes of other cases like mine... to see which option would be the most reasonable.
