Prenuptial Counsel

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.

Custody Trial

Ms Lauren M. Friend was appointed by the Family Court in Manhattan to represent me in a child custody case. Ms. Friend was extremely professional and very well organized from beginning to end. She had a tremendous command of the court room and exercised the law with aggression. We won the case and I ...retained custody of my son. I got everything I wanted. I would highly recommend Ms. Friend as a referral and would retain her services if needed again.

Visitation Modification

Attorney Lauren Friend provided excellent representation services, with visitation rights for my toddler. Ms. Friend prepared all court documents and tasks meticulously and assisted with securing professional support to testify on my son's behalf. Her efforts successfully convinced the court to mak...e visitation modifications that have insured my child's well being. Thanks to her professionalism, hard work and "no nonsense" attitude my son's well-being was the priority. I will be forever grateful for all she has done to benefit my child . May God Bless her in all she does.
