The last attorney I’ll need to hire.

I had the pleasure of hiring Lauren, her assistant Krista and her staff for what would be the best represented 2 year portion of my 6 1/2 years of being in and out of family court. I have worked with several other attorneys prior to her that were solely focused on billing and perpetuating the hostili...ty between opposing parties. Not once did I feel that her motivation was for increasing her billable hours. I honestly felt that Lauren was an advocate for my child and had at moments kept me from loosing sight of the real and pertinent issues pertaining to my case. Her strategy was incremental and focused on the best outcome for my daughter and ultimately we were able to mediate between parties (which no other attorney prior was able to do) and without having to go through a lengthy trial. I highly recommend Lauren Kingry and her staff for your family court needs. Please contact me if you would like to discuss the benefits of hiring this firm.

Best Adoption Attorney!!

My husband and I came to Lauren Kingry for adoption services through her agency, Love Adoption Life. We live in Texas and had been with another adoption agency (in Texas) for over two (2) years and were beginning to lose hope. Lauren came highly recommended so we took a leap of faith and couldn't be ...more relieved that we did. She and her staff (Kristin, Krista, and Jamie) were extremely professional and handled all matters in a very timely fashion. They were always prepared and extremely diligent in filing all paperwork immediately. But, beyond their professionalism lies the true jewel of Lauren Kingry’s office…their heart. After years of frustration, which included a failed match, our hopes were truly dwindling and we feared we would never adopt a baby. Lauren and her exceptional staff renewed our hope and made our dream come true…we now have a beautiful daughter!! I cannot express enough how much we appreciate all that Lauren and her staff have done for us. They truly care about all parties involved, which we have found over the years to be a rare commodity. They form solid relationships with their expectant mothers and adoptive families alike. We have not only gained friendships with them, but feel as though they are now more like extended family! I would absolutely refer anyone in ANY state to use Lauren Kingry for their adoption needs!! I think you will find, as we have, that she and her staff will forever have a special place in your heart!

Professional in every aspect. Her entire staff took the time to answer questions and help any way they could.

Lauren took the time to make sure she was clear on what we wanted to change in a difficult custody issue with a minor child. Her and her staff made my daughter comfortable and at ease in a tense situation. Our family is very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Lauren to friends or famil...y that needed a attorney.

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.

Ms. Kingry's service

Ms. Kingry made one of my most difficult times in my life easy! She helped me get through my divorce in away that would have never thought possible. I was clueless in the process to get separated, and Ms, Kingry gave me the best legal advice to start the process. I have recommended her to all of my f...riends and will continue to do so!
