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.

Very Helpful

Lauren exhibited genuine kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism in my case. Her knowlege and experience in matters of child custody put me at ease right away. I would recommend her to any friend in need of legal help.

Divorce

I began my divorce proceedings with a different attorney, who was a poor choice. Ms. Hunt fixed the damage and moved the process through to its completion. She listened well and aligned her efforts with what I was trying to achieve, which was a more cooperative, less hostile divorce. She was pleasant... and perfectly professional. The whole thing worked out better than I had expected.

Take it all the way to trial...

If you're on this website searching for an attorney to lead the charge for you into family court, look no further! I was paying Jewish Family Services (great place) $75 an hour for supervised visitations and was at the mercy of a specific Albany Family Court judge and my daughter's mother. One day ...(after many years of undue stress and court appointed conflict defenders) I decided to bite the bullet and hire an attorney. I might have found Hunt on this website actually. She has a couple of awards for some things and is a dog lover so I decided to use her. She has an excellent staff and is centrally located. As not to make the support staff a side note, her support staff is really excellent. Anyway, the results. After going to both child support court and family court with Ms. Hunt (for about a year and a half), not only do I get to see my daughter more, I now have her for the Majority of the time! What comes with majority physical custody? Child Support! Yes, I'm getting paid child support after paying it for 10 years! Words can't describe how that feels! As for my title to this post (Take it all the way to trial), trial was necessary for the outcome I desired because there was no way Mom is just giving up her daughter. Trial was a real pleasure for me because Hunt is very nice until trial time. Watching her just rip the opposition to shreds and actually fight for my best interests was worth every dime I spent. It was like watching a movie! I couldn't have asked for a better attorney or better results.

Great lawyer!

I worked with Lauren on my prenuptial agreement and she was extremely helpful with answering my questions, giving advice, and helping me feel comfortable with a document that can sometimes create uncomfortable situations. She's great with timely responses and offers fair pricing. Highly recommended...!

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
