Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, I graduated high school from Ezell Harding Christian School in Antioch, Tennessee. I then attended Samford University, in Birmingham Alabama, and double majored in Political Science and History.
I received a full scholarship to Pepperdine School of Law and graduated in the top 3% of my class as the highest ranking female. I was inducted into the Order of the Coif and Order of the Barristers. While in law school, I received 7 CALI awards: Civil Procedure I; Contracts I; Criminal Law; Interviewing, Planning & Counseling; Criminal Procedure; Constitutional Structure; and Remedies. I was awarded the Faculty Scholar scholarship for academic excellence, and I also received the President's Scholarship.
Since graduation, I have chosen to focus my practice exclusively on Family Law related matters (which in my practice includes juvenile law, wills, powers of attorney and other needs your family may have throughout their lives). I have especially served as an advocate for fathers, representing many men throughout middle Tennessee, and advocating for them to receive maximum time with their children.

Amazing Attorney!
Lauren fought for me and my children for nearly 4 years. From deposition, to the courtroom, her skill and articulation were impeccable!

Couldn't have done it without her.
Lauren has been my lawyer for the last 2 years. She started as my family lawyer when I wanted to get my oldest child out of a bad situation. During those custody hearings I ended up needing someone to defend me in a different county in a separate case and she had one of the charges thrown out and the...

Great in court
Lauren was a great attorney in court. She did exactly what I needed her to do and that was to provide fairness to my child support situation. However, once my case was finished, I asked multiple times for a digital copy of the final paperwork and have yet to receive it. The outcome was exactly what I...
