Lauren Olivia Otto

Lauren received her retainer in July 2019. She told me at the consultation that the second she received the money she would schedule an OTSC hearing. My marriage was less than 8 years so I could only receive short term maintenance, so she said we had to request it ASAP. I heard NOTHING from her for a... month. I called the office multiple times, she was always busy or on vacation. Her paralegal finally told me she had taken on too many cases. It only gets worse from there. I never got the OTSC hearing, she never called me back. I had to schedule "phone appointments" I was charged $390 and$480 for phone calls. She charged me to complete a maintenance calculator, FIDI, ect. She never filed anything with the court. She had a settlement meeting with my estranged husband and his attorney, I was not present, they decided I had to refinance the car into just my name. There is so much more, she quit and said I fired her, used the retainer, upped her fee by $50 without notifying me. I received a bill for $2000. I felt like I was facing a criminal charge, not a divorce. I will never recover from this, emotionally or financially. I was divorced over the phone with no attorney and nothing filed. I have dealt with other attorneys, I have never seen or heard anything like this. I would never recommend Lauren Otto to anyone for any reason.

Laureen is an excellent Attorney who answers your questions when you need them answered and does not sugar coat her answer for fear it may be something you don't want to hear. If you have a question and you call its not days before she calls you back its as soon as she is done working with a client i...n her office or if she is in court she will call you and not wait days to do so. I found her and her staff very easy to work with and would definitely recommend her.

I hired Mrs. Otto in regards to obtaining custody of my two children. She made the best of an unfortunate situation and understood my need to put the well being of my children first. Her extensive knowledge of family law eased my anxiety about the tough legal process ahead! Her experience in the cour...troom gave me confidence that we would be successful. Mrs. Otto gave me clear advice about how to proceed with my case without using confusing legalese. Thanks to her council, I am now happy to have placement and custody of my son and daughter. I can rest better at night knowing that their needs are needs are being met, I thank Mrs. Otto for being my best asset in my fight for them!!!! You're The best!!!!
