Lauren is awesome!

I am so grateful that I was given Lauren's name as a referral during my extreme time of need. She is kind. She listens intently and never talks down, she is wise, smart and thorough. Lauren is not only extremely professional, but she is also very personable and relatable. She is well versed in family... law and has dealt with many cases of family violence and knows how to advise and protect her clients. I felt that I not only had a dedicated protector in my corner - but also a friend who genuinely cared. I am so thankful to have had her as my attorney and highly recommend her and her firm!

amazing

I went through an extremely complicated divorce and custody battle, Lauren Deal was there for me. She gave me hope at the darkest moments of my life. She took my case, as messed up as it was, and saw through the ugliness of the other side. Most would say she went up against the devil fearless. Thank ...you Lauren for all you do. Your truly an inspiration.

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!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
