Client driven; professional

Lauren is effective because she combines compassion with power. Her knowledge of what to do and ability to strategize meant that she did not rush through my case for her easy profit. She worked hard for ME, not for her firm or for herself. Lauren always had my interests in mind and negotiated a se...ttlement beyond what I had hoped for. Lauren is not afraid to take the case to trial because she’s talented. This helps bring in a fair settlement. She does not inflate her settlement expectations with a sales technique you see in commercials. She is fair and reasonable with her settlement expectations and assertive in achieving these expectations. In spite of my lack of understanding of how the legal process works, she never spoke condescendingly to me. She made my small case feel as important as a million dollar settlement. She took her time with my questions and answered the same question the third time with as much clarity, patience, and detail as she answered it the first time. Lauren returned my emails and calls promptly because she treated me as equally important as the firm’s big clients. She is intelligent, competent, and dedicated. With Lauren, I never felt alone or vulnerable. I had a savvy ally.

My case involved working with Lauren from another state and she proved to be the best fit I could have asked for. I was injured in Chicago on vacation but lived in Mississippi so there was mostly email and phone conversation. She was so accommodating to all my questions and so patient with me especi...ally since I have never needed a lawyer before this experience. Our communication was so pleasant and she was a joy to work with. When my husband and I finally had the opportunity to meet her in person, we felt like we had known her forever. She is so professional and compassionate and that is a wonderful combination. I was extremely nervous during the deposition but she calmed me down and prepared me for the meeting. Our outcome was positive as well as my whole experience.

Outstanding Legal Service and Successful Results!

Lauren Cohen provided expert legal assistance to our family which lasted over a period of years and two specific cases. In each case Lauren provided expert legal direction and helpful emotional support as we went through the multi-year process. Lauren made herself available to answer any and all ques...tions as the cases went forward. Both cases ended fully favorably which is no small feat! We are completely satisfied and thankful for the expert legal services provided by Lauren Cohen and highly recommend her without any reservations to any potential client.

Lauren helped me get a fair PI settlement

Lauren Cohen contacted me numerous times about her actions regarding a pit bull bite I received. I especially appreciated her taking the time to explain the legal steps necessary to obtain a fair settlement for my pain and suffering and her negotiations with the "other side." She was good at compro...mising with them but still getting a fair settlement.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
