Lauren Harutun is an incredible attorney

When we were seeking an attorney to handle our custody case we had a laundry list of things we wanted in a lawyer. We wanted a call back if we left a message within a reasonable amount of time, someone who was very knowledgable about the laws and statutes, a person that we could have a human conversa...tion with and be able to understand what was happening and an aggressive but fair attorney. Lauren met those expectations with flying colors and throughout our journey with her she has exceeded our expectations. She is very knowledgable and has guided us through a messy process with grace and professionalism. We have faced many challenges with our opposing party including substance abuse, child abuse, delay tactics and a rather difficult opposing council. Lauren has always been level headed, fair, honest and aggressive when needed. Her first concern is always the welfare of our daughter and she hears our wants and needs. We are truly grateful to have an attorney who is sharp but also so incredibly human. We absolutely recommend Lauren and trust her to handle any situation that we are faced with.

An attorney with the heart of a lion..and the claws of one, too!

Lauren was the first attorney I've ever had to retain. I had an uncooperative ex-partner with an axe to grind and the only thing that scared me more than the effect it would have on our child was that I'd be too broke to feed her after retaining counsel. Lauren handled my situation deftly and profess...ionally while managing to be supportive emotionally. She accomplishes the rare balance of being sensitive and caring while refusing to take any nonsense. She is worth every penny- and she made sure not to waste any of mine, either. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Best of the best!

Lauren and her assistant (Laura) went above and beyond for me and my family while we went through a difficult divorce. She always made herself available, no matter what she had going on. She had amazing resources for everything (legal experts, counseling, financial, children, etc) that our family n...eeded. When dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel, Lauren handled the situation with such integrity, ethics, and professionalism. I cannot speak highly enough of Lauren and her staff. First and foremost, Lauren is a children's advocate and is always in favor of reconciliation, if possible. There is so much that sets Lauren apart from the rest, but the most obvious is how she is emotionally available to her clients and their situation. This is a rare quality in the legal field. Lauren did not stop fighting for me and my children, even when things got very difficult. I would recommend Lauren and her practice to anyone looking for an honest, hard working, ethical, and just plain good family attorney. She knows every aspect of family law and she is very good in court. I consider Lauren a friend at this point, because of all we've gone through together. I'm so thankful I chose her to represent me and my children in the toughest time of our lives. We were in such good hands!

Empathetic, perceptive but aggressive when she needs to be(she has a hidden cape)!!

If someone had told me I'd be posting a VERY positive review about an attorney...I'd say you're crazy! But, here I am and yes I can FINALLY say that after the scary, uncaring and costly lawyer's I've had in the past, that Lauren is the hope and results person I've been waiting for!! There aren't en...ough words to say how thankful I am for Lauren! Thank you, thank you, thank you! :)

Professional, ethical and honest- Highly recommended!

I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren and have experienced her willingness to help others. Lauren has always maintained a professional and ethical relationship with her clients and those involved, while using personal experiences to comfort them. She understands that each case is just as d...ifferent as the people involved and she handles each case accordingly. I have never seen someone so passionate about children as Lauren is and someone who makes every effort to provide professional, honest and ethical assistance to each and every person she meets.

"I endorse this lawyer. Lauren is highly capable and skilled beyond her years. Likely, this is due to the fact that she has great divergent experience in the law. In the case we co-counseled, she displayed remarkable abilities in the court room; a command of the facts and the applicable law; and a tenacity in submitting her clients issues to the court. This is one great trial lawyer."
