Lauren Hope Kane

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 is exceptional! Lauren has done such a great job that my now ex-wife (the defendant) has tried to slander her name in retaliation to the results of the proceedings. Lauren knows court procedures all too well and is capable of managing the most difficult cases with highest grade of profession...al expertise. Lauren is by far the best attorney that represented me or any other person that I know. The proof is in the results. Lauren aggressively sought to bring fairness to the court room for me and my children. There were times during the build up to the proceedings that I felt it was me against the whole system .. the world even. Soon after I expressed this to Lauren I felt as though she was the only person I could cout on to support me in this conflict. Her strong backing and expertise enabled me to receive joint custody, retain my home with no buyout, pay no child support, no alimony, and better yet have a piece of mind of knowing that if my emotionally disturbed ex created more issues that I could count on Lauren's assistance in the future. She has proven that she is a great attorney. I keep a very small circle of trust and I trust Lauren Kane. I consider Lauren Kane a friend for life! Appreciative Client and now Friend

Kane's familiarity with the NJ Superior court procedures is woefully lacking. The only thing she did in a timely manner was to ask for money. She did not keep me informed of return dates or if my ex had even filed. What's worse is that her conduct in the court room and her reponses to to my advers...ary actually inflamed the animosity between the parties. Her advice was worse than worthless, it helped my ex accomplish her goals. Steer clear of this one.
