Lauren Maurice

I hired Lauren the summer of 2015 after my now ex-husband and I decided to separate with the intention of divorce. From the beginning Lauren was very involved in my case, making sure that I would get the best outcome from a divorce. She was great about answering all of my questions whether by phone,... email, or office consultation. I also felt like she was very knowledgeable of divorce law and what I could or could not expect in our decree (such as not getting alimony since we weren’t married long enough to for sure be eligible). I also felt like she had great insight with what a judge would approve of if it came to us not agreeing on something. I fully trusted Lauren to represent me. In fact, I am now back in contact with her concerning some worries that I have related to the decree. I would 100% hire Lauren to represent me again should I end up back in court.

I hired Ms. Maurice to represent me in family law/divorce/seperation. The women that work in her office and friendly and answers calls promptly. During my first three meetings, Ms. Maurice was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I felt she would be fair and represent me well. In court however s...he was incompetent. She was very disorganized and was not prepared. She had facts about my case incorrect. She stuttered and appeared nervous. I was embarrassed. She called me later to ask about her "sketchy notes". Several times we had problems because she could not understand her notes. Later, the problem went as far as the bill/statement being incorrect. I was misinformed about rates. Even when I had proof that I was being mischarged because of her sketchy notes, she would not admit an error. It costed me a lot of money. I had to hire another attorney. Ms. Maurice also caused problems with visitation days and times for my children to visit thier father. She did not write down the correct schedule during the hearing that was ordered by a judge. It caused much stress on my part and unnecessary arguments with my spouse. I do not recommend legal representation by Ms. Maurice to anyone.
