Having the right lawyer!

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.

Worked hard, got results!

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!

The best lawyer I have ever had with a special case as mine since I was not present at the hearing since I'm in Arizona.

Since she was refered by a friend in 2004, She represented me with deligence and integrity. She understood my emotions since I was a wreck and advised me of the situation that made me feel at ease. I was relocated to Arizona and unable to be at all the hearings due to the expenses and kept well infor...med and saved me money and time off work and most of all ease of mind. I would recommend her to anyone seeking representation. Thank you very much Lauren H. Kane attorney at law.

Great Lawyer and person

I have known Lauren H. Kane for over ten years. She worked on my child custody case, as well as, reffering a personal injury lawyer for me. She is very professioal and timely and keeps you informed on everything that is going on. If not for Lauren, I know I would not have made out as well as I di...d in my custody battle. That case lasted a total of 9 years!! Her refferal for my personal injury case, Richard P. Haaz, had me awarded over 1 million dollars in damages. I can't say enough good things about Ms. Kane. I can't believe anyone would have any negative comments about her or her work.

She made the situation so much worse

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.
