Best for Custody, Divorce, and Support

Lauren listens to your situation and really makes sure her approach matches your specific needs and concerns. She has integrity and knowledge that is a necessity when dealing with an ex. Especially and abusive and controlling one. She has given me strength through legal knowledge and options. Empower...ment through my decisions and parental rights. She will make sure you are heard and supported.

Talented lawyer: Lauren restored my faith in the justice system!

Lauren Hunt is a talented lawyer whose knowledge of the law is only surpassed by her empathy. Lauren is passionate about pursuing justice and was incredibly sensitive to the challenges I faced as a single mother forced into a legal battle to get my ex-husband to pay his share of my daughter’s college... tuition. She was flexible with her hours, allowing me to meet with her in the evenings, by phone, or even on the weekend. She was also flexible with payments, knowing that the burden of college tuition and lawyers’ fees was overwhelming for me. When the family courts’ decisions defied common sense and the law, Lauren stood with me and skillfully argued my appeals and, ultimately, helped me win. I would recommend Lauren to anyone who needs a top-notch lawyer with unparalleled integrity.

Highly Recommend!

I am so happy I hired Lauren to handle my divorce. Filing for divorce was the most emotional and scary thing I have ever done in my life and Lauren not only made the whole process as painless as possible, she handled everything in a timely matter, getting me everything I deserved in the divorce. Afte...r my first meeting with Lauren, I immediately felt a sense of comfort knowing I was in the best hands. Lauren is not only a fantastic lawyer, her warm and professional demeanor eases any anxieties during a stressful time. Lauren answered all my questions and concerns in a timely matter and as I stated before, I could not be more pleased with the settlement of my divorce. After everything was finalized, my ex-husband tried to reach out to me to get access to a check that he was not entitled to. I reached out to Lauren after normal business hours regarding the issue and she immediately got back to me and looked into the legality of what he was trying to do. Thankfully I was able to reach out to Lauren so I did not hand over something he was not entitled to. Again, if you are looking for an empathetic, intelligent, professional, prepared lawyer, look no further than Lauren Hunt.

Highly recommended

Lauren was extremely helpful in drafting the addendum to my separation agreement. She is very approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable. All responses and feedback were prompt and thorough. Lauren listened to what I needed, tailored her work specifically to that, and works very efficiently. She h...as been a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend her to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer.

Clever, dedicated, and resourceful

Lauren is an excellent attorney. She is exceptionally clever, resourceful, dedicated and a hard fighter. Throughout my protracted and complicated case she remained caring and concerned, advising me and fighting diligently on behalf of myself and my children. She always listened to my priorities us...ed her extensive knowledge of the law and the judicial system to reach those goals. I feel very fortunate to have found her. Her excellent client manner and professionalism made my difficult time much easier.

"When a client asks if I do divorces, I just simply hand them a card with Lauren's phone number scribbled on the back. I don't know of a more intelligent and knowledgeable divorce and family court attorney out there. Beyond that, she really cares about the welfare of her clients. That makes her stand out among her peers and I will continue to send my clients with family court issues her way because I know how much she cares."
