Lauren was incredibly professional and compassionate during a very difficult case! I was falsely accused of a crime I did not commit via my University's Title IX office. Lauren met with me multiple times to help me go over the evidence and help build my statement and case. I am convinced that Lauren ...was essential to the case being resolved at the earliest step possible and in my favor- she pointed out how different pieces of evidence supported me and guided me through the process of working with a University lawyer who tried to bully me into giving him information without providing me my accuser's side of the story. I would reccomend Lauren to anyone falsely accused of a crime. She is an outstanding Title IX lawyer and defense lawyer in general. It was also evident that Lauren cared deeply about my case from our first meeting, something I did not feel when I met with other, larger firms before hiring her. She is tactful but will not back down from confrontation or intimidation. I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am to Lauren's firm and her work- she helped me get my life back navigating a bureaucracy that favors the accuser more than the accused. She fought for me during the most terrifying and demanding time of my life, and I cannot reccomend her firm enough!

Truly Exceptional!

I am writing this review hoping that someone will learn from me what a true asset Lauren was for my case, my career and my future. I am incredibly grateful I found her. We got the best outcome because of her dedication, caring and willingness to do whatever it takes. When you hire a lawyer you ente...r into a relationship, and this is a relationship that will carry you to the final decision. You won’t be sorry. I came to Lauren embarrassed about my situation and never once did I feel judged. She was always courteous, respectful, and encouraging, which is important to get through the stress of it all. From a legal standpoint, I never doubted her advice/strategy and she made sure we were meticulously prepared. She even was prepared to address an unexpected situation, which if not, could have hurt my outcome. She knows what it takes and will fight for you as if it’s her personal victory. It really matters to her!! That mindset is what you want in someone representing you. There is no doubt in my mind that I hired THE BEST attorney in this market.

Criminal Defense for a Juvenile

We called Lauren in an absolute panic about our son's imminent court date. He was being charged with a felony at only 14. Lauren reassured us that she could help reduce the charge and she completely came through for us! We are so thankful for her advise and help the entire way through the process. Sh...e was amazing, I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance with a criminal matter.

Excellent work!

Lauren Campoli took our call, personally, the first time we contacted her office and she spent time immediately putting our minds at ease about our situation. She worked with our family in a kind and competent manner, and worked to bring our case to a very fair and reasonable resolution. We are so... glad we called Lauren, and would recommend her to anyone dealing with the juvenile system. Thank you, Lauren.

Lauren Campoli Truly Delivers Top Notch Representation

I was a passenger in a car with an acquaintance who- unbeknownst to me- had a large amount of narcotics in his vehicle. To make a long story short, we were pulled over and I made a mistake in a moment of panic when the driver revealed he had the narcotics and asked me to hide them. I ended up getti...ng arrested and charged with third degree felony possession of narcotics that were not mine. I had no prior criminal record whatsoever so I was terrified after going to jail, losing my job, and facing a very serious charge. I called Lauren and she met with me the following day in her office. She immediately put me at ease, explaining very clearly the strategy that she recommended, why she recommended it, as well as some other possibilities, and also explained some contingency strategies if my case ended up going to trial. She listened to and responded to my concerns based on her knowledge from prior cases and always made sure that I was comfortable with the plan of action, and that I was aware of all options and the pros and cons of each. She assured me on my first visit that because I had no prior criminal record that I would not face prison time, and she would fight for, and get the best possible outcome for me. I could tell right there through her real compassion and genuine understanding of my fears that she meant it. I can't even describe how much it meant to me at that time to hear that I was going to come out of this OK... and Lauren delivered on her promise. She had a good relationship with the prosecutor, and was able to get my charge dropped to a 5th degree so that I was able to participate in an out-of-court diversion program. Upon completion of this program, the charge will be dismissed completely. Lauren kept me informed as to what was happening the entire time. She was there for me at each court appearance. And she responded to all of my calls, texts, and emails immediately- making me truly feel as though I was her only client... which I know was far from the case. She was truly extraordinary in that regard. I was able to get my job back thanks to the resolution that Lauren brought to my case. I highly recommend Lauren- especially to those who are facing criminal charges for the first time because I now know how terrifying that is. Lauren has both the skill and knowledge, as well as the compassion, understanding, and responsiveness to put you at ease through the whole process, and deliver on her promises. I can't thank her enough.
