Do not waste your money

My friend was represented by her through Triangle Divorce for her separation agreement. My friend asked Lauren for any red flags in the agreement and Lauren failed to point out that the agreement would still be in effect if my friend reconciled and was a post-nup agreement then. So basically my frien...d wasted her $3,000 having Lauren review the agreement and represent her for the separation. Find another competent attorney!!

Michael, thank you for sharing your feedback. I’ve reviewed my records thoroughly and cannot find a case matching the situation you’ve described. I take every concern seriously and am deeply committed to providing clear and thorough guidance to my clients during what are often challenging times. If your friend would be open to reaching out to me directly, I would be happy to discuss their concerns and see if there’s anything I can do to address the issue. They can contact me at 919-977-7007. I strive to ensure my clients feel confident and well-supported throughout their cases, and I welcome the opportunity to address and resolve any concerns they might have.

Great communication and follow through

Lauren recently represented me in my divorce and custody cases. Her communication was always proactive and top notch, and she always seemed two steps ahead of the opposing attorney. I was facing a situation where my spouse was attempting to get full custody and leave the state. She was able to bro...ker a settlement that was suitable for both parties and protected my relationship and time with my children.

Great support, knowledgeable, confident in court

Lauren was a great lawyer for my divorce and custody trial. She was extremely thorough, responsive, and I felt like she fought hard for me. I always felt like she saw me as an individual and that my case was more than just work but my life in the balance. She gave realistic advice and was a great ...resource for navigating child custody.

Dependable Attorney

Lauren was very supportive and understanding of the unique needs of my situation. She also understood the financial burden hiring a lawyer placed on me and did everything possible to expedite the process when my case was passed to her. I was very impressed when an incident happened over a weekend and... she had no problem calling me on a Sunday with advice. She always responded almost immediately to any questions I ever had. We mediated the case and I truly had the best possible outcome given the circumstances.

Thoughtful and Thorough!

During a very emotional time, Lauren made me feel at ease from the moment I first met with her. She explained everything in detail and kept me informed throughout the process. Everything was transparent. Having her take care of the paperwork and all of the formalities took the weight off of my should...ers ensuring that everything was handled properly. I would highly recommend Lauren and her firm to anyone going through a divorce or any legal family matter.
