Lauren transferred to Georgia State University College of Law in 2006 and received her Juris Doctor in 2008.
Prior to law school, Lauren was a social worker and advocated for adults with developmental disabilities, while further solidifying her passion for advocacy and compassionate representation. In law school, Lauren worked as an intern for the Georgia Advocacy Office, a non-profit specializing in assisting and advocating for individuals who are labeled as disabled or mentally ill. Her passion for advocacy led her to become a Guardian ad litem for numerous probate courts throughout the state, where she represents the interests of children and adults with special needs in varying litigation, guardianship and conservatorship, and probate matters.
Lauren received recognition from the Georgia Pro Bono Project in 2009 and 2010 for providing legal services for low income Georgians. In 2014, Lauren was nominated by her peers and selected for inclusion in Georgia Trend’s annual publication, “Legal Elite”. In 2022, Lauren received reognition from Super Lawyers as a "Rising Star". Lauren has been a speaker and presenter at numerous CLE’s, covering topics pertinent to probate work and service as a Guardian ad litem.
Since beginning her career, Lauren has represented Georgia clients in countless contested and uncontested probate matters, including emergency and permanent guardianships and conservatorships, compromise claims for minors and incapacitated adults, probate and estate administration cases, year’s support petitions, petitions to determine heirs, and numerous unusual probate matters. Lauren also has extensive experience drafting complex estate plans, and has a special passion for preparing special needs trusts.
After nearly 14 years with the same firm, Lauren opened her own law practice in 2021. Further, Lauren ws honored to accept appointed as a part-time judge for Fulton County Probate Court for the 2022-2023 year. With her background in advocacy and probate litigation, and after adjudicating several hundred matters as a judge, Lauren also decided to pursue certification as a mediator in early 2023, and she is excited to provide mediation services as a registered neutral.
Lauren is very tall, but she never played basketball. She lives in Suwanee with her husband, three children, cat and dog. In her free time, which is rare, she enjoys listening to true crime podcasts, watching Unsolved Mysteries and British crime dramas, and scouting the local thrift stores.
