Save your money!!

I hired Lauren to do a simple divorce with no kids involved. She came with a big bark at first but, had no bite. She acted like she was going to take care of the case without any problem but, when it was go time she sat back and let proceedings just happen organically and did not fight for me! In ...fact she wanted me to provide a mass amount of information to the apposing attorney and asked for nothing from them. She seemed to only respond via email. Then not at all. She had all kinds of excuses for not responding. Her personal life kept her from concentrating on my case. In fact I had to contact the Florida Bar because Ms. Kingry never responded to me after multiple emails and phone calls to discuss my case with her when a trial date was just a couple weeks away. Instead of then contacting me she just dropped my case. All in all I wasted my money on an attorney because in the end I didn't even need one. She didn't even bother sending me my documents in the mail after she dropped my case. So I spent $1,500 and had nothing to show for! She will take the Money but, after that she has No sense of urgency!

A great family attorney!!!!

Lauren was a God send for my legal needs. Going through a Divorce and child custody battle can the most destructive of times in a persons life and Lauren handled my case as if it were her own interests at heart. I knew I could count on her expert knowledge in her field along with her genuine concern ...for my welfare and that of my child. Since she practices alone she can be very busy at times, but she never failed to take time for me. I knew my case was a priority to her, and her outline of what to expect made the process a little less painful.
