Lauren Shepherd

Lauren, who I have to say is an absolute saint, was taking on a lot when she agreed to help me adjust my divorce order - it was a complicated and messy case. She started by giving me an incredibly thorough consultation, where she immediately put my mind at ease by helping me to think about all my dif...ferent options. Lauren would not give up until this matter was resolved; her persistence is inspiring, quite frankly, and exactly what you want and need with your attorney. She was always quick to respond to my emails and phone calls, even before I had paid my retainer. She also helped me discuss the cost-effectiveness of my legal choices, which isn't always something attorneys will do. I also had a very difficult time finding a way to serve my ex, so she found multiple ways to track him down and she was able to serve him with two different sets of papers (he had no home address and we could not find him) - which I had about given up on! Lauren also made a point to attend court when I needed her to; and she also gave me her best advice on things that I could do on my own to save more of my retainer. Every step of the way I was impressed by her professionalism, her vast legal knowledge, and her passion for helping families to feel safe and protected through the law. Lauren made herself available in emergency situations and really helped me navigate some of the toughest experiences of my life. If you're considering hiring a family law attorney, I strongly suggest you start with Lauren. She is the best! I will always go back to her with any family law matters. Thank you, Lauren!

When my spouse suddenly asked for a divorce, I was blind-sided. He had done a lot of research on the process prior to informing me that it was what he wanted, and originally told me exactly how it was going to go. I am so glad that I reached out and scheduled an appointment to speak with Lauren the... next day. She understood what I needed to get through this process, and explained to me how each step would work. She did an amazing job of advising me but also hearing where I needed to come from. It was so beneficial to have someone on my side who understood what the process was, rather than allowing my spouse to dictate it, thereby allowing me to feel empowered in a decision that I didn't have a say in. I would highly recommend Lauren and her entire team, and would not hesitate to use them in the future if a need arose.
