Lauren will fight for you!!!!

Lauren Deak is a phenomenal attorney. She is kind, compassionate, listens to your story with interest and truly wants to help. She has a firm understanding of the law and is gifted in communication skills to help you succeed in court as well as be confident in doing so. I gained security and safety t...hrough her in a very scary time in my life. Hopefully I won’t, but if I ever need a good lawyer again, I know who to call.

Phenomenal Attorney - First Class Litigator!

I had been dealing with a very complicated legal matter over a ten-year period. Over this period of time, jurisdiction was moved from one state to another state. I visited with multiple lawyers in multiple states and none of them seemed to be able to help my cause. Eventually, jurisdiction for this c...ase moved to Georgia and I lived in another state. Not knowing any attorneys in Georgia, I took to the internet and after reading numerous reviews I settled on Laura Deal, located in Macon, Georgia. On my first call to the Lauren’s office, the person who answered the telephone was a lady named Lee Love, who impressed me immediately with her professionalism, friendliness and full understanding of my situation. Lee set up a conference call with Lauren Deal and after that conference call, I knew Lauren was the right attorney for my case. What I like about Lauren Deal: 1. She is a good listener, has a mind like a “steel trap” and she is no nonsense. 2. She quickly accesses your case and recommends a strategy along with corresponding tactics to remedy your case. 3. She tells you what she is going to do, when she will do it, delivers on agreed upon timelines and keeps you abreast with timely updates. 4. She ensures either she or her staff follows up on emails and telephone calls in an expeditious manner. 5. She is like a “dog on a bone” in the courtroom; you are glad she is representing you vs. the other side. 6. Lastly, Lauren is a great value lawyer, she provides a stellar ROI.

She is a fighter

She handled my divorce and custody issues. She really knows the law and was very confident in the courtroom, which helped me feel better about things. She also worked with me to get things together to have the best chance at getting custody. Also, she was real down to Earth and I never felt like she... talked down to me.

Wonderful attorney

We hired Lauren to represent us in my husband adopting my son! She has been absolutely wonderful! She answered all our countless questions regardless of how many time we have asked them. She has helped calm us during the chaos! She is just wonderful!
