Lauren Ruth Angelos

I found Ms. Angelos after interviewing at least a dozen lawyers and law firms in San Diego. I had just been convicted for my 3rd DUI and knew that in order to maintain my quality of life I would need an experienced-professionals help. It sounds as bad as it looked on paper; but I wasn't the typical m...onster that the courthouse was used to throwing the book at. Ms. Angelos recognized that and it made me feel safe and secure knowing she genuinely cared about my future. Best. Decision. Ever. Mandatory jail time (3mo - 1yr), Fines ($$$), Community service, In-patient rehab (substance abuse), Suspended driver’s license (1 - 3 years), Ignition interlock (car breathalyzer) and an ankle monitor. Not to mention my new profession with the city and state medical license were on the line. Ms. Angelos, after countless hours of work and thinking outside of the box was able to get my case DISMISSED! She went above and beyond; drafting letters to my employer and the State Medical Board in order to help me keep my job. She was always there when I needed her, and kept me updated throughout the case. From setting up meetings outside the office, to court updates via text; there was never a moment I didn't feel completely accommodated. Though the burden was shifted to her, it was a relief knowing that she was giving her absolute best when it came to my defense. Worth. Every. Penny. Thank you so much Ms. Angelos for all of your help. I couldn't have done it without you. Here's to never meeting under such unfortunate circumstances ever again! You're the best!

I had a second DUI in San Diego before I moved to Los Angeles a few years ago. I had let it go on for a little too long and hadn't completed the classes or community service that was required so I had a warrant out and needed serious help. Lauren came highly recommended and was so helpful. She took... the time to explain everything thoroughly, helped me with my paperwork, and got my warrant lifted before I knew it. I thought for sure there would be some added punishment, but she was so good the judge didn't add anything extra. During these stressful times you want to be in good hands and Lauren goes above and beyond to ensure just that. If you want a lawyer you can count on to get you the best outcome on your case then she's the one for you. Thank you Lauren!

I was referred to Lauren by a friend and from the moment we had our consultation, I knew she was the best fit to represent me. Not only did she provide me with exemplary service, she also took the time to ensure that I understood each step of the process. She has gone to great lengths to accommodate ...me and has never compromised her high level of professionalism. I feel that she has kept my best interest in mind by keeping in close contact with me regarding any updates throughout my case. Her strong work ethic and commitment to serve her clients has made a very overwhelming experience digestible; and for that, I am most grateful. I will continue to recommend Lauren because of what she has done to help me. Thank you for everything, Lauren!

I was involved in a hit and run accident under the influence of alcohol. I had hit three parked cars and when I was arrested I had a blood alcohol of .30% In exchange for my plea to one count of DUI, the hit and run charge and second count of DUI was dismissed. I was required to do 35 days of PWS (...cleaning up trash) but she got it reduced to doing volunteer work at a non-profit organization of my choice. City attorney wanted me to have three years with an interlock ignition device and she got it reduced to one year! And she saved my RDH license from being permanently revoked by the California Dental Committee. I never had to go to court, Lauren did it for me and always kept me fully updated on my case. I could never have found a better lawyer than Lauren!

Being arrested is a traumatic experience. It's hard to imagine how much one bad decision can impact your life until it happens. After speaking with the public defender, I realized that I was just another piece of paper that she needed to get off of her desk, I knew that I needed to hire an attorne...y, but I had no idea how to choose one. Luckily, a series of events lead me to Lauren. I'm a worrier by nature, and my imagination can get the best of me if I don't hear otherwise. Lauren touched base with me and kept me abreast of what was happening the entire time. She has a solid legal mind, and she always took the time to walk me through the ins and outs of my case with an impressive amount of patience and genuine concern. She often responded to my late night and weekend emails so quickly that I wondered if she ever stopped working. Ultimately, my charges were reduced and I was offered an unprecedented plea bargain of a much lesser offense that should be expunged from my record in a couple of years. I learned a lot from that night, and I also learned a lot about the kind of lawyer I want. If you're looking for a strategist who knows the law and how to effectively communicate with prosecutors, someone who is kind but tough, and someone who is honest and cares about what happens to you and your career, then I suggest you contact Lauren Angelos.
