Lauren was alway in contact via email and was promt on my court dates. She made sure she knew exactly what I wanted yet also took the time it ensure that I had a realistic understanding of what to expect going in. I felt she had a great understanding of the law in regards to my case. With Lauren as m...y lawyer I never felt uncomfortable or unsure of what the outcome of my custody case would be.

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren M. Friend when seeking prenuptial counsel. She was extremely helpful/thorough in explaining the details of the agreement that was presented to us. I very much appreciated her insight and recommendations. Overall, she helped make the process go by as smooth... as possible and I was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend her counsel cases of marriage and family.
