Lauren Elise Kingry

This is a true review. Please feel free to contact me for details and evidence. I was too far into my case before I realized what was actually going on. Lauren was late to hearings, refused my calls, told lies, was disorganised, she purposefully withheld important information about my case from me, s...he is very deceitful and full of both personal and professional drama. Lauren notified me just weeks before what she said was a final hearing and demanded an additional $4500 to represent me. I found it VERY STRANGE that she agreed to half the cost and didnt pro ess all of my payments before the hearing date. But it wasnt long before things became clear. When we showed up to court, the hearing was for a motion she filed on my behalf 6 months prior. She openly admitted in court (bit was lying) not to know what was going on and thus asked only 2 questions to witnesses for the father in a 3.5 hour hearing. As a direct result, I lost some of my parental rights. Lauren had her staff tell every lie in the book as to why she could not speak to me after the hearing for over 3 weeks, which caused me to miss the 10 day appeals window. This further perpetuated the downward spiral of my case. Thereafter, personal information that I only shared with Lauren bith verbally and in emails has surfaced during the rest of my case. In my opinion, lawyer, Lauren Kingry's performance in my case most certainly seemed as though she accepted payment from my son's father.

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!

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.

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!

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.
