Lauren Hope Kane

If we could give Lauren H. Kane 10 stars, we would!! We would recommend Lauren for any legal matter, but particularly family law as she was instrumental in winning our custody case. I had two bad experiences with two NJ lawyers that took my money and got me nowhere, so I was somewhat skeptical. Howev...er, Lauren made it look easy and confirmed the fact that I was taken advantage of by the other two lawyers. Lauren had my back from the beginning and never stopped fighting for our cause …. returning my son to our custody. She is a fireball in court ….. exactly what we needed! Our case was being handled in NJ, yet my husband and I live in Maine. That didn’t matter, Lauren was very understanding, gathered and researched all information/documentation I sent, she explained details to us, she kept us informed on developments, stood up for us, explained things to us, researched case law, prepared exceptional court documents……very thorough, very professional and very successful!!! I can honestly say we looked good in court! She was worth every penny we spent on her services! And we were so blessed with the positive results Lauren gained for us. We cannot thank her more!!! Again, we would recommend to anyone in the PA/NJ area with any legal problems to give Lauren H. Kane a call.

My nephew's son was taken into DHS custody two years ago when the boy's mother failed to adequately care for him. Despite having custody of another child and having done nothing wrong to prevent my nephew from gaining custody, endless, non-productive court hearings ensued with a prior attorney which... led to much anger and frustration. We searched for a replacement attorney who would cut through the bureaucratic and judicial nightmare to help my nephew gain custody of his son. We found Lauren in a website search. References like this one convinced us she was the attorney we wanted and after an initial interview, where Lauren showed her compassion, understanding and laid out a plan to wrest custody of our child from DHS - we knew she was the attorney we needed/wanted - and she was! From the start, she promised she would get my nephew's son back for him as soon as possible. She fought hard for us, keeping us apprised of her progress as well as being open to our suggestions and listening to our comments and frustrations. She was our guide through this emotionally charged time, which wasn't always easy, and she did as she promised - obtained a court order returning physical and legal custody of his son to my nephew! If you are looking for someone with experience in family matters, who is caring, compassionate, knowledgeable - and a fighter for your cause - you want Lauren Kane! I recommend her to you without reservation!

Don't believe the few unjustified comments. Lauren is an outstanding attorney. She has been with me for 2 1/2 years, day and night. She has done phenomenal work for me. She has always been well prepared, returned my calls promptly, been very honest with me, and has had a mastery of the facts of my ca...se. And for the record, she won my case for me, despite multiple setbacks from the other side. She always had faith even when I thought it was hopeless. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anybody.

I used google to find a lawyer to help me with my divorce. After reading about Lauren H Kane, I knew that she would be the right person to help with my case. It should have been a very straight forward non contest case, but unfortunately it did not turn out that way. Before Lauren took my case - s...he was very clear in asking me if there was any chance of a reconciliation, as this was something not to be taken lightly. I explained that the marriage was definitely over - but it struck me then that Lauren was the right person for my case - and her belief in marriage was very strong. Lauren took on my case and filed a non-contest divorce. Based on the fact that there were no children involved and just house, cars and pensions to settle, this should have been quite straight forward. However my ex felt he deserved much more (since we had been married 24 years). Lauren explained to me that because of the length of marriage, he was entitled, but she would fight for a reasonable outcome. This is where Lauren really shined. 3 long years of back and forth finally came to an end in April 2013. Lauren showed compassion for my situation - a female earning good money, and a soon to be ex trying to get as much money out of the marriage as he could. Lauren was professional but also very compassionate - she would ensure that I was kept informed every step of the way. We had regular calls where she would clearly explain to me what was happening and more importantly why it was happening. Soon after hiring Lauren I moved to New York City, but the distance did not cause any issues with the communication. Lauren's deep knowledge of the law in this subject helped protect me and my assets - my ex was trying to take as much of my pensions and assets as he could. We came in front of a judge a few times and Lauren would always make sure I understood what was happening as well as look after my well being in court. There were many occassions in court where the opposing lawyer did not prepare or provide court ordered documents - Lauren was sure to point out to the judge that we had always been compliant and always provided everything that was ordered. this acutally helped in the final settlement hearing. It was unfortunate that my ex would not agree upon the terms we had prepared, so finally a judge had to make the decision for us. The fact that Lauren was so thorough and we left no stone unturned, made the judges decision far easier. My ex was claiming alimony, but had failed to submit 1 single document out of 17 that were ordered by the court. I am so glad that I did not have his lawyer! Based on this, Lauren appealed to the judge (I told Lauren I needed this to be over) - she managed to get a settlement decision and I did not have to pay the alimony that my ex was seeking. It was so exhausting and frustrating, but Lauren would always keep focused and would talk to me (calm me down) and help me understand what the situation was. I cannot thank Lauren enough for getting me through a very traumatic time. You see, I am an expat with no family in the USA, so I really had no one but my lawyer - and I am so glad I found Lauren. The nightmare is over now (April 2013) and I am able to continue my life knowing my future is protected thanks to her. I would recommend Lauren to anyone considering divorce.

Lauren was extremely responsive to our needs. She fought hard to get us exactly what we wanted. She is extremely smart and can think on her feet. Nothing phased her - ever. No matter what the other lawyer pulled, she was ready for it. She knew the judges, and she knows every aspect of the law. I...'ve never had anyone work so hard for me in any area of my life. She kept us informed on a minute-by-minute basis and made us feel like a valued member of her team as we prepared for trial. Lauren was recommended as "the best in Philly," and, having seen her in action, I couldn't agree more!
