Lauren E. Michaeli

I'm not the type of person to write reviews as I consider myself pretty low key.  However, when it comes to Lauren I knew I had to let the world know about her because that is the very least I can do to show my gratitude for everything she has done for me.   Prior to meeting/hiring Lauren, I was g...oing through one of the most painful chapters in my life.  My ex fled with my child, lodged multiple false accusations against my family and me, and completely limited my access with my child. After what felt like a lifetime of non-stop accusations, I found Lauren and she really came to the rescue.  In the first 3 months alone she was able to do more for me than all my 3 prior attorneys did in one year.  Lauren was always available,  always empathetic and always ready to answer any questions or concerns I had.   I went from being deprived months without seeing my child at all to now sharing custody as close to equal that far exceeded my expectations.  What I appreciate about Lauren is that she's extremely knowledgeable and compassionate.  She keeps a cool head and is always present. She doesn't take this as just a job but really invests her time to know her client and she makes a genuine and conscious effort to do the right thing and make a material difference in someone's life as she did with mine.  Fast forward 2 years later, my entire case is coming closer to an end and I have more optimism than I ever thought imaginable.  I no longer wake up every morning fearing the worst.  I have my son.  I have meaning and purpose and my life is back on track.  I now see the light at the end of the tunnel and I would not be where I am if it weren't for Lauren's professionalism, support and guidance. Thank you so much, Lauren!

On July 2016 the mother of our 6th month old twins boys did the unthinkable. She created an alleged situation about my parents and I and had all three of us served with a protection order with a stay away. Which eventually turned into one of the worse experience a first time father could never imagi...ne. Lauren was recommended to us by John Farrauto who is one of three partners of her Firm. Upon meeting Lauren she quickly created a case and assured me that I will be a father to both my sons after all is said and done. Lauren is a compassionate, empathetic attorney who is protective of her clients. Her willingness to make right of an unjust situation is comforting, making a long custody battle seem shorter than it really is. Her qualifications are clearly displayed on the walls of the office she resides in, reassuring you that you're investing in an extremely intelligent attorney and not some ambulance chaser looking for a dollar. During our 11 month battle in an out of court, supervised visits, protection orders, and an emotional rollercoaster that would break an average human being, Lauren didn't quit, she kept pushing our demands and not settling until we in fact felt what was being offered was fair. In the end what was promised to me did In fact came to be. My two children and I have the relationship I have dreamt of since the day their were born. The tears that were once shed from sadness, turned into tears joy. Lauren thank you for all you have done for the family and I. Your passion for justice has made this all possible and the family and I will be forever grateful!!!! I highly recommend Lauren E. Michaeli, Esq. From the firm of Farrauto, Berman & Slater to defend any parent caught up in a malicious custody battle because she cares and does WHATS RIGHT!!!

Lauren has gone above and beyond for my son and I in and out of court, she has the perfect balance of strong mind and gentleness that when combined with her ability to read people and the court room, it makes her an impeccable and impressive force. Watching her work has instilled in me faith and conf...idence in her abilities that I never thought I’d see. If that wasn’t enough, she was also thoughtful, not just of my wallet but of the well being of my son and I. I would hire Lauren each and every time without any hesitation.

I hired Lauren to help me through a complex and long drawn out paternity and child support matter. Lauren did everything she could to simplify and expedite matters when possible. I found her to be very smart and straight talking with a genuine passion about getting the best result for the people sh...e represents. She was entirely knowledgeable and unwavering in her resolve against some very tough and obnoxious opposition. I was delighted with how she got me through the process and the end result that was negotiated, I would recommend Lauren without hesitation. Best of luck!

This was my 1st time ever seeking legal help and it was regarding matters that not only would impact me but also my child. Lauren was comforting, reassuring and understanding in every way; she made me feel comfortable and confident that everything would work out for the best. With her knowledge and p...rofessionalism she was able to provide advice that would lead to the best outcome. I would definitely recommend Lauren to my family; friends and anyone needing legal help.
