Passionate, intelligent and effective!

I was facing lasting ramifications and couldn't fathom the impact on my long term goals and career aspirations. Ms. Campoli kept me informed throughout the entire process and made me feel confident with her ability to get me the best possible result. She treated me more like a friend than a client. I... would highly recommend her because of her passion, intelligence and willingness to go above and beyond. She didn't settle for a decent outcome, she made sure to shape the outcome and I can't put into words how thankful I am.

Lauren Campoli did it! She got my charges DISMISSED!

Lauren has been a person I knew I could count on when I received a letter from her office. It stating I had been charged in a criminal case from a raid that happened 3 months earlier. If it hadn't been for her letter I would have not known of these charges because the courts sent the court papers to... an old address. Lauren assured me at our first meeting, that she will fight for me and my rights all the way to trial. Whenever I had a question She went out of her way to get an answer to me within a day or two. Entering a court room is very stressful on anyone. I can say that, I felt confident with Lauren on my side that she would get the dismissal we were fighting for... AND SHE DID! Lauren is on top of her game, She works hard to show that we, as clients, have rights and deserve the best representation in the court room. I could not refer a better lawyer then Lauren. I want to express my gradatude to her for all she has done for me in this criminal case. She knew that any conviction would cost me my job. Lauren addressed all of my concerns, and went into detail to explain how each one would be handled. She is great at looking at all sides of the situation and listens to you. Lauren is, in my book, the best lawyer to represent you in your case. Its true that great things come in small packages! Thank you again Lauren you have been a god sent.

Outstanding Attorney

My case was tough. There was a lot of evidence against me, so for Lauren it was less prove my innocence and more work for the best possible outcome. Every time we seemed to be at a dead end, Lauren came up with something to swing the pendulum in our favor. This was the first time I had ever been in... a situation like this, so along with being very nervous, and scared, I flat out didn't know what to expect. Lauren was great in explaining everything and making sure I totally understood what was going on. Lauren met several times with the prosecution, successfully reducing the charges, and thereby the potential sentence. However, the best move Lauren made was requesting that the judge allow a pre-plea investigation with a probation officer. The goal was to show the court that despite the evidence, I deserved leniency in sentencing based on the facts that I had no previous record, was not a threat to re-offend, and am an overall good person. This proved to be the most savvy move she made, as the interview went great. Based largely on the recommendation from the probation officer the judge saw no reason to have me serve any time locked up, when I could have faced up to 3 1/2 years. If I am ever in need of an attorney (Though I don't plan to), I will most certainly call on Lauren Campoli. I would very highly recommend her.

Lauren Campoli Is Awesome.

Several months ago I was arrested for 4th degree damage to property after taking part in an act of civil disobedience. In a system that can often make you feel very vulnerable having Lauren on my side made me feel protected and empowered. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable, engaged, and fervent in h...er work. While my case may not have been the most prestigious she always treated my concerns with timely responses and direct, helpful, answers. I never felt like I was just "another case" to her . Lauren was able to balance professionalism and empathy in a manner rarely found in any field. She kept me informed every single step of the way. In the end she was able to get the charges against me dismissed! I cannot recommend Lauren more highly. She is a credit to her profession and I would recommend her to anyone. If more lawyers had her immense talents and ethical standards the world would be a much better place!

Lauren Campoli handled my case with a great deal of respect and showed true concern with my family and what was best for my situation. She was always easy to reach by phone or email. Anytime I had a question she went above and beyond her job to make sure I understood the issue and gave me the best ...advice possible. Ms. Campoli always represented me with dignity and professionalism. She was also great at putting things in perspective and helping me through a time in my life where I was very afraid of the unknown. Having her on my side made my situation so much easier to face. She knows the laws and will find answers to any questions you may have. I felt she fought very hard to get me the best outcome with my case and she did just that. Truly Ms. Campoli cares about her clients.
