About Lauren
Biography
Lauren only practices family law because she has a passion for representing real people with real problems. Practicing family law typically entails more than just representing a client. A family law attorney must be prepared to handle the nebulous, emotional issues that are often accentuated during family law disputes. Thus, the family law attorney must be able to provide their client with the resources and emotional support so that the family can move forward, even if the marriage cannot. Lauren provides her clients with compassionate, yet honest representation.
Lauren frequently appears in court on behalf of her clients. She is prepared, efficient, and articulate. Lauren also has a passion for helping clients outside of the courtroom. She handles divorce mediations – either acting as the neutral mediator for a couple seeking a divorce or representing one party in mediation. Lauren also practices collaborative divorce, which is a process whereby a team of professionals, including attorneys, mental health professionals, and financial professionals work together to amicably and efficiently separate a marriage.
Lauren graduated from Bucknell University in 2006 and then obtained her law degree of the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2011. Lauren’s interest in family law began right after she graduated law school, while she was clerking for Judge James T. Russell in Carson City, NV who presided over many family law cases. After her clerkship, Lauren went to work for the law firm Allison, MacKenzie, Pavlakis, Wright & Fagan, in Carson City, Nevada practicing family law. Later, Lauren practiced family law at the law firm Woodburn and Wedge in Reno, Nevada. During her tenure there, Lauren was named in the annual list, “Legal Elite 2015: Nevada’s Top Attorneys.”
Lauren is married, has two children, and two dogs. Lauren enjoys spending time with her family outdoors in Northern Nevada.

Unprepared
Lauren Berkich failed to be savvy of my (her clients') large financial details which ended up losing me a lot of money. The reason Berkich failed to be savvy of my financial details is because she wasn't interested in listening to me when I was trying to inform her about large financial accounts. T...

Replied last July 01, 2017Thank you for your feedback. If your case was settled before trial, then that type of resolution would require both parties to agree to the settlement. Settlements cannot occur without the consent of both parties. Often times from a business perspective it makes more financial sense to settle a case, rather than proceed to trial or the next stage of litigation. This is especially true if there is little hope of financial success at trial because of the confines of the law. Unfortunately, while I can help guide my clients and advocate for them, I cannot change the law. I am very honest with my clients about their legal position. If I have very little hope that they will be successful at trial, then I will let them know and encourage them to settle. In my opinion, the worse case scenario is to go to trial, lose, and still have to pay your attorney.

Quality Service!!
We hired Lauren to help us with our living trust and she was great! I'm not sure if she still does trusts but I would hire her for any of my family law needs in the future. A pleasure to work with!
