One in a Million

I was referred to Ms. Kingry by a friend. They said "she is someone you can trust." No secret the public stereo type for lawyers is less than favorable. Lauren Kingry, however, is an exception to the rule. She is truly a rose among thorns. From the outset she was compassionate to my case/issue, forth...right with sound legal advice, represented me completely and fairly, and she was reasonable and flexible in her fee structure. I could not have been more pleased with with the service I received. The best advertisement one can have is word of mouth. I will go out of my way to offer up the name Lauren E Kingry to anyone I know that needs representation. Not just because of the service I had but that is exactly what the legal system needs more of. Lawyers of this caliber and character. Sincerely Earl

Very trustworthy and knowledgeable

Mrs. Kingry was always easy to speak with and no matter what question I had, she was able to accurately answer it. I felt very confident in her abilities and valued any and all advice she made towards my case.

modification

We needed an uncontested modification of our parenting plan based on 50/50 custody. Lauren was great and helped us figure out a good timesharing plan that worked for everyone involved and sympathized when there were disagreements. I would use Lauren again and refer her to anyone who that has any ty...pe of family law issues.

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!

Fantastic Attorney

Lauren was a great attorney. I went through a lot of crap with my son's father and even when something seemed like it was going downhill, I could count on Lauren for the reassurance I needed to make sure everything was going to go over okay. Lauren always replied to my emails over the weekends, holid...ays, and even at night and it seems that she wants to go above and beyond for her clients. I have recommend her to everyone going through the same issues.
