Review for Attorney Lauren Fair

I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the sc...enarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. Not only is she a great attorney but she truly has your best interest at heart.

Ms.

My experience with Lauren Fair of Fair Cadora Family Law is that she is a true professional, extremely capable, efficient and was both connected to and invested in my case … which was the Registration of a Foreign Support Order, from a foreign country. After contacting Fair Cadora, Lauren Fair ret...urned my phone call within one hour. I was heading back overseas, however, upon my return in May 2018, I contacted Lauren again, this time with all my documents and asked the question, “Can I do this?” She must have spent some hours going through all my documents and wrote back – Yes, we can do this. This gave me hope! My contact with Ms. Fair was always quick and to the point and extremely professional and informed. She clearly knew what she was talking about. I also felt that she empathized with my situation. I also felt like she gave me her full attention. This gave me more hope! I felt that I could trust her judgment without question and in fact I absolutely trusted her at her word. I had a positive outcome to my case which is due fully to the efficient handling of my case by Ms. Fair and her associate Lindsay Sudman. I am forever grateful for my experience with Ms. Fair. Clearly at Fair Cadora they are a fine tuned team! I feel super lucky to have “found” Fair Cadora Family Law.

Outstanding representation, highly recommended

Lauren has been my attorney for the past 3 years and I could not be more pleased with how she (and the rest of her team) provided counsel, represented me in court, and handled my case from beginning to end. Throughout this terribly trying experience (which included multiple hearings for divorce, cust...ody, and child support disputes) my confidence in Lauren has never faltered and I was able to find comfort in the fact that she always had my and my daughter's interests in mind. I was well informed, well prepared, and had clear expectations throughout the entire process, and I was never disappointed or surprised in court. I have already personally recommended her to one other person (who has retained her) and will do so to anyone who finds themselves in this difficult situation.

Total professional.

Where do I begin? Lauren won my business by taking more than 30 minutes with the initial consultation, she actually took almost 90 minutes to lay things out for me. By doing this, she demonstrated her commitment to her practice, her clients, and I knew I could trust her. She is not afraid to go ...toe to toe in the court room against opposing counsel and she made my ex and her counsel look vastly unprepared and downright foolish at times. Lauren paid attention to every detail and worked hard to keep costs down in what I would consider a high conflict divorce. Lauren and her team dealt with everything ranging from domestic violence, work harassment, threats of ruining real estate transactions, financial disarray, etc. Lauren is extremely trustworthy, so much I trusted her to represent me in court even while I was deployed overseas, which speaks volumes about her character. As a result, I inherently trust Lauren Fair and could not have found a better family law attorney to represent me throughout one of the most difficult times of my life. Whenever someone needs family law advice, Lauren is the attorney I recommend.
