Posted by John | April 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney

Experienced Fighter For What is Right!

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!

More than just a lawyer

I initially called Lauren for a question that delt with an issue I was still going through with daycare payments that was still being withdrawn from my check although my son is close to 16 years of age. She listened and gave me advice. This was on her time and did not charge. A few weeks past and I r...eceived court dates for matters of custody and child support. I was devastated as I've been overpaying for years. I've gone to court twice before and left with my tail between my legs. I hired Lauren and it was like hiring a big brother (or sister) to protect you. I never felt safer than when we went for a hearing and she fought for everything that I was due for. She didn't miss any issues and actually lowered my monthly child support. She was professional, tough, knowledgeable and thorough. I can't say enough about her (as you can see). My advice, give her a call. Explain your situation to her. She's willing to listen. Don't make a mistake and think you can do things yourself like I did. She has a long career and it shows why when you see her in action. She is more than just a lawyer, she is someone who will make you believe that life is worth living again.

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.

Lauren Kane is an exceptional!

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
