Interview your attorney - you have a lot to gain and lose

Find an attorney that gives you their undivided attention. Clients are in a vulnerable, emotionally charged situation, often the first time. Go with a strong, professional attorney that provides guidance and expertise. Lauren isn’t the person. I left a lot on the table, and walked away because there ...was limited support in a very costly situation. She didn’t come prepared for the attorney my ex-spouse had.

Not recommended

Lauren Shepherd ignored pretty much every request or question I had regarding my case. She was cold, uncaring and inattentive. Look elsewhere if you need a family law attorney.

Lauren Shepherd is an incredible attorney and will always be who I call for my family law matters!

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!

Lauren was great!

I was very pleased with Laurens representation during my divorce case. She was very timely in responding to questions I had and the staff was very helpful in every regard, as well. I really could not be happier with the professionalism and level of service Lauren provided. If the need should arise, ...I will certainly be giving Lauren a call.

Lauren Sheppard is an outstanding attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Lauren for my divorce settlement. She is amazing and made the entire process much less stressful. Her professionalism and insight is only overshadowed by her down to earth approachability and genuine concern for the client. I was so nervous and worried and she made ...the journey as comfortable as possible with her amazing attention to detail. If you want the best give Lauren a call she will be upfront about cost and managing your expectations. A great attorney to have on your side!
