Amazing and highly recommend!

Lauren is Professional, kind, and a tough lawyer that will work very hard on your case. She was my attorney on an employment case and she made sure to do what she needed to do to win the case. Thank you Lauren!

Does not provide free virtual consultation

She will spend more time typing and writing a letter just to email you that she will not provide legal representation. Her litigation assistant will take 40 mins to type up your information but never answer any legal questions or provide any legal consultation.

Thank you for providing feedback and letting us know about your experience. We apologize that we did not communicate more clearly about our intake process. We start the process by taking potential clients through a questionnaire. We understand this can be time-consuming, but it's important for us to know the basics of your situation in order to evaluate whether to move forward. We never charge potential clients for any of the time we spend evaluating whether to take on a case for representation. Feel free to contact us directly if you still need assistance or would like to discuss this matter further.

Focused advocate with a successful strategic approach

Lauren was an excellent attorney who understood the need for early and private resolution. She thoroughly investigated the claims in order to send out a clear, concise, and substantiated demand letter which allowed the other side to understand the seriousness of the issues and my intent to take this ...to a public trial if necessary.

Want to win? Go with Lauren

From our very first interaction Lauren was open, listened and outlined all of my options. While the process of pursuing a case can feel overwhelming and stressful, Lauren made the entire experience as smooth as possible. Throughout the process Lauren made sure to keep me in the loop, and was on top o...f everything. I would absolutely recommend Lauren and Teukolsky Law! She made me feel like I actually had someone in my corner. She did fought and pressed, and never let up until I got the justice that was deserved. So glad I went with her!

This lady is awesome and am so glad she was the one that represented us. She will fight tooth and nail for you and she will get your case settled for you. Lauren is all ears and is so easy to get in touch with at any hour. If I ever need a lawyer again she will be my number one choice.

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.
