Best lady

She has been the most amazing person she's been so understanding she listens to what my kids have to say she investigates very thoroughly and I believe she deserves a 20 star if there was I recommend her a million times over and over

Amazing attorney

I used Lauren to help with a traffic citation. Having a CDL Its almost impossible to fight it without going on your driving record. Lauren was able to keep it off my driving record. She told me upfront what it would cost to defend my case. I will say she’s very reasonable anytime I had a question ...she responded very quickly. What ever you are facing whether traffic, criminal, divorce, need custody of your child. Give her a call. You will be glad you did. Thanks again Lauren!

Thank you so much!

Lauren was absolutely amazing! I was so extremely happy with her services. She stood in for my attorney while she was out of town, but you would have never guessed that she didn’t handle my case the entire time! She was up to date on everything before she ever even met me and was completely prepared.... She kept my best interest at heart and negotiated for the best deal. She stood beside me in court and led through every step of the way and I can not thank her enough!

unprofessional mouthy not worth it!

I won my case because of me not her she really jeopardized it and gave me false information on how to go about me if it wasn't for DHS and them helping me make decisions and getting the information I needed I wouldn't have my kids back today she might look good by the case that she won but is not her... winning it's the people that actually fight for their kids.. she's uncaring she does nothing unless it's the day of she doesn't answer phone calls. Or do anything like a regular lawyer I would suggest anyone but this lady personally I am fighting to get her license jerked.... Did I explain she has a mouth will argue with her clients and thinks that she's a know-it-all.. very unprofessional and uncaring for what really should happen for the safety of your children she will not do the work to get you what you want and need in your case do not spend a dime on her cuz she will not spend a second on you and your family I could have won my case with a public defender why because I did what I was supposed to do I have my kids because of me not her she put me through hell the whole time I am blessed and happy that DHS and gorgeous on my side because my lawyer was not helpful at all.

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.
