Review Lauren Brusca

Highly Effective and Exceeded My Expectations

Posted by

I was referred to Lauren Brusca from a close friend and she definitely exceeded my expectations. She is without a doubt, compassionate, a straight shooter, responsive, and very communicative. She was upfront and transparent in terms of how things would proceed along with setting realistic expectations and timelines. Lauren has a high degree of integrity, professionalism, and puts her client first. She goes above and beyond for the best interest of her clients. Divorce and Custody battles can taxing emotionally and financially...Lauren was able to achieve my best case scenario outcome. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Lauren! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney!

Highly Highly Recommend

Posted by

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. Lauren has been a life saver for me to say the least. I had previously hired an attorney that took of advantage of my vulnerability, money and did absolutely nothing for my case over a span of 8 months. I hired Lauren and she got a parenting plan for me within 30 days. She saw right through the vicious litigation that my child’s father kept throwing at me, motion after motion. He had all the money in the world to keep the case going and to run me dry of my funds to argue back. But she stuck by my side instead of leaving me high and dry, which was their end goal. Lauren kept me on track by focusing on the important things and there if I needed her. I am forever grateful how she fought like a bulldog for me and was empathetic for difficult times I was going through struggling as a single mother. I highly recommend Lauren for anyone who knows that dealing with the other side is going to be a rough one.

Highly recommend!

I was referred to Lauren by a close friend who also practices family law, and I could not have asked for a better fit. Lauren went above and beyond in a case that involved an extremely difficult opposing party, unusual circumstances, and more than a few headaches. She was tough when needed, particularly in response to the opposing party's actions, and helped me maintain focus on the practical and procedural aspects of the case. Lauren's professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to fast-track a very satisfying resolution to my case exceeded my expectations. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough!

Attorney you can trust!

Lauren was awesome to work with, very communicative, fair and took care of my legal issues regarding my divorce in a timely manner. She's one you can trust! We had some challenges and she was professional even when dealing with attorneys that should be disbarred for their practices. I highly recommend her for your legal needs!

Hands down Wonderful

Posted by

Lauren was absolutely great! She was a referral and deserves every bit of it. From our initial consultation to my final divorce hearing she was available, knowledgeable and personable throughout. I always felt very comfortable and confident having her as my representation while going through a hard and stressful situation such as divorce. Highly recommended!

...and then I found Lauren

Posted by

My divorce was complicated. 26 years of marriage. Several businesses. A husband with a personality disorder that thrived on making the process hell. Months of what I can only deem as suffering. I went through two attorneys and experienced everything from being being grossly over billed, not being able to reach, not understanding my case, to violation of attorney client privilege. THEN I FOUND LAUREN, and everything changed. Lauren took what was a very stressful event in my life and turned it around to a place where I could rest and know she had it handled. If I could, I would stand at the front of every courthouse and pass out her card and tell people it’s going to be okay if you have her on your side. If you are in a place where you find yourself in need of a family law attorney, someone you can trust and will fight for you, someone who knows their profession, not just from the time she’s been an attorney, but who grew up in a home learning what it was to serve their clients well, and if you are interested in billing that is more than fair, and easy to understand, and if you desire the best possible outcome in your case after the worst possible outcome of your marriage, Lauren is the one to call. My case came to a close, and though I was beyond over the moon it had, and was thrilled with what Lauren did for me, I truly was sad to lose the regular contact I had grown accustomed to. Lauren is not only a phenomenal family law attorney, she is also a wonderful human being.

Amazing Lawyer

Posted by

Lauren was great in every way. She was realistic with me, and I really felt she cared. She helped me manage my expectations and ensured my focus remained on my child, while she worried about how to ensure we found the best solution for my situation. She wasn't intimidated by the opposition no matter how much they tried to throw her off her game. I just wish I had found Lauren years earlier. Would absolutely return to her for any legal counsel moving forward.

Rock Stars!

Posted by

Thank you, thank you, thank you. If I could fill this email with so many more thank you's and hugs I would. Lauren, you are an incredible force to be reckoned with. How'd I get so lucky to find an amazing lawyer who operates with such great integrity and careful attention to detail? Because of you and your team, for the first time in 2 years, I actually feel like I can breathe. (Thank you Elis & Doreen!!!) Each time I relive the final proceedings, I'm even more stunned at how you remained in control of every moment and every conversation, in and out of the court room. Your demeanor, your professionalism, your laser focus and ability to take charge in such a genuine and respectful manner cannot be taught. What you possess is a talent that any client who hires you is blessed to find. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Thank you again Roberts Family Law team! I plan to recommend you highly to any one who's in need of an family attorney.

Outstanding Attorney

Posted by

Ms. Brusca was fantastic to work with. She put together a rock solid pre-nup agreement for me with no chance for any loop holes. She put in a ton of time and effort to ensure that I was protected and that nothing could slip through the cracks down the road. I was very impressed with her knowledge in the field and how she took extensive time to help me with any questions or concerns that came up along the way even out side of the pre-nup that I hired her to put together for me. I would highly recommend her for her services!

Amazing Attorney

Posted by

Lauren Brusca has been amazing through many bumps along the way with my case. I consulted with her almost 2 years ago, then again around a year ago and hired her in March of 2017. My case is very complicated but she has been very supportive and strong with every detail even as it continues today.
