Lauren, I shared this with you right after meeting our Judge today, but I need to tell you again, thank you for knowing everything about our case by heart, and express our pre-agreed decisions in such a clear and straight forward manner! I am convinced that I am in very good hands with you. I fee...l very confident that we will have our best opportunity to obtain a fair result. I love you Lauren! Thanks again, -Marco

save your money

This experience was a complete waste of time and money. The only time I ever saw her was to give her money and the day in court. I only talked to her 3-4 times through email. She was unprepared for the case and when she lost acted like it was the right thing. Wish I would have just represented mysel...f. I could have done just as well if not better and saved my money. Keep looking if your searching for valuable representation.

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 wonderful hire

I went through a divorce in which I told her to be nice to my soon to be ex. Soon thereafter, my ex disappeared with my daughter and did various other things. Not only was Lauren a professional the entire time, she spent a few extra moments dealing with my distress I was going through. Divorce... is not an easy process and I listened to her every word. Granted, I had concerns but she always had words of encouragement and completed the divorce. She spent many hours through depositions, filings, etc. If I were a lawyer, I would hate my job yet she continued until it was completed without an iota if complaint to me. Looking back, I wish I hadn't called her repeatedly with all my worries as she handled the case like it should have been handled. Would I recommend her? Yes. Would I hire her if I needed her again? A resounding hell yes!
