Lauren Laundis

hired her with a 8k retainer to appear at a trial setting conference and also represent me in the trial. Her sub went to the trial setting conference and never called me to tell me the outcome. I called two weeks later. The paralegal had no idea what had happened at the conference and had to review t...he notes and that’s when it was realized that the judge postponed the date and asked for the other party to file documents. I did not find that out and would not have until I called two weeks later. The paralegal was not sure of what to do or even what the notes from the court date even meant so she had to consult with the attorney. I didn’t receive a response about that for another week and I had to call for an update on that. I received several calls from different paralegals and her staff asking me questions about my case and none of the calls were complete and thorough, the calls ended with me wondering what was next. I wondered why that was. I noticed that I would get a call one week about something and a follow up call about the same thing the next week as if they never completed whatever it was they were working on from the previous week. Now that I’ve seen the invoice, I see that they did that to charge extra. One person called me about a fee waiver and asking all the questions and then called me back two weeks later about the fee waiver to finish up, but why wasn’t it finished during the first call? These are just examples of bad practices. After all of that, I have since then been notified that I need to re-up on the retainer and pay 7000 more dollars. My issue was that nothing has been accomplished in my case I paid $8000 for her staff to call me about things and there’s no proof that any of those things were used or benefited my case. Nothing was filed. 8K down the drain just so her office could make calls to me and review documents. That’s where my retainer fee went to. She appeared in court for me once and sent a sub for the second date. If you have the money to spend on a subpar Attorney, who is going to do the bare minimal but charge you top prices and have no integrity while doing it than this is your girl, but if you’re looking for someone reliable, who is actually going to do the work and not charge unnecessary excessive fees this is NOT your girl.. I know it’s hard when you’re trying to find an attorney when it comes to your children or your marriage your money you’re home so on and so forth, but please take the time to do your research or you will be out of 8K like I am. I paid 8K and I don’t have representation at this point. And again that 8K went to talking to me on the phone, emailing and reviewing past court cases and document. Absolutely nothing was accomplished with my case there’s nothing to show for anything that they have done. choose better! you’ll be happy you did.

I brought Lauren one of the most difficult custody cases imaginable, and she handled it with an extraordinary level of intelligence, professionalism, and compassion. Family court is incredibly challenging, but Lauren; and her entire team are remarkably understanding and supportive. This is rare. S...he has an exceptional memory, sharp attention to detail, and communicates with clarity and confidence. Her filings are timely, her preparation is meticulous, and her courtroom presence reflects both strength and expertise. Lauren truly knows the law, thinks strategically, and genuinely cares about her clients and their children’s well-being. I feel fortunate to have her representing me and highly recommend her to anyone seeking strong, intelligent, and compassionate advocacy in family court. I would not choose anyone else to represent me. She helped me regain my confidence and my voice during one of the most difficult times of my life. I highly recommend Lauren Laundis to anyone seeking strong, intelligent, and compassionate representation in family court.

Lauren Laundis is an absolute hero! From the very first call I felt like she truly CARED what happens to my children, and wasn’t just doing it for the money. I called every family law office I could find on Google but she was the only one who seemed to really listen and hear me, offer hope and enc...ourage me to not settle with less than I was comfortable with, no matter how scary my ex is. She also took the time to explain to me what my ex can and can’t do to us in court. Lauren has consistently gone above and beyond to help me protect my children from my ex. She is completely unstoppable. She even appeared in court the day before giving birth to her own child. Nothing could stop her from protecting my children. She was also very conscious of costs, never doing unnecessary work and even letting me know what tasks I could do myself to save money. Lauren Laundis truly knows what she’s doing. She’s smart, creative and strategic. There were times I wished for more communication, but later realized that knowing her full plan in advance could have actually hurt my case. I learned to trust the process because every time we went to court we came out with a far better result than I even dared to hope for. A brilliant example of this was when she surprised both me and my ex by finding the other women that my ex hurt in the past and have them appear in court. I have no idea how she even tracked them down. I felt like my ex had me cornered but Lauren Laundis helped me escape. I ended up with full legal and physical custody when I believed I would be lucky to get even 50/50. My Ex’s tactics were ugly and immoral, but they didn’t stop or scare Lauren Laundis.

Consistently delays hearings & admitted it to one of my witnesses! Also, (congrats to her) she's pregnant & will be on maternity leave probably Mid Oct 2024 until next year! She started off strong, UNTIL SHE WASN'T!! Which only lasted a few weeks. Acts like she cares about your case. I absolutely pro...mise, she does NOT! She has no empathy for your divorce. Only her pocket book & vacations! You have to beg her to get something done! In an 8 month span, she has been absent 3 months, for vacations! Upon her return she has her office call me for more funds. In total she took me & my family for $24,000. My divorce has been going on for 2 years. 15 months w/Ms. Laundis. I hired her to help w/a very contentious divorce. She assured me she could handle this case! Obviously, she could NOT. She kept telling me I was giving the respondent too much credit, saying "he's not that smart." But then I'd predict his next move. She'd say to me, "you really know this guy." No Sh*t Sherlock! I was the one married to him! She rushes the case w/the Judge & will dismiss motions to make things easier for her. She'll make promises over the phone, then denies she ever said it! SHE DOUBLE CHARGES HER CLIENT'S. She copped to it over the phone to me. Then to smooth things over, she deducted $10,000. off of my bill as what she "claimed" was a "courtesy."You don't take $10,000 off a bill for a courtesy! I made it very known that the person I was divorcing was going to cause a lot of issues, lie about income, expenses, committed no less than 10 Atro's violations, stalked me, committed perjury, along w/ lying to an officer in 2022 on camera. & now has 21 contempt charges. First court appearance w/her, she called me to asked if we could dismiss 35 motions to compel that the respondent was to provide the Court. I Stated "NO." I had paid a previous attorney for those motions & believed them to be vital to my case. She stated "we could handle it at another time." So she dismissed them. I was so mad! She over books herself w/clients. She gets her clients cases mixed up in court. She even discussed someone else's case w/me instead of mine. Since my motion to compels were dismissed, she realized we "DID INDEED" need the info & thus subpoenas were sent out to all of the companies. Which only delayed my hearings even further. I better not see a bill for, since it was her error, Not mine! In January 2024 a temporary court order was put into place. After 21 days of the order not being complied w/by the respondent, I requested Ms. Laundis to file contempt charges. Arrangement was set for early June. Only to find out that the respondent hired an attorney last minute. (as I predicted he would to Ms Laundis) Knowing that his arraignment would be extended. Court was to be set sometime in July, as his attorney could catch up on the case. But because she would be gone for a 5 week vacation abroad, my hearing date would be extended another 2 1/2 months. Now that the hearing is here, she demanded more money & had her office personnel advise me that if I don't pay, she will not represent me at the hearing. I sent her an email asking to pls help me make a proposal to the respondent. As I just want this divorce over. I made her an offer that would provide her funds. She wrote “payment arrangements will not be acceptable" I made it very known when she accepted the case "that the respondent was to pay for my attorney fees." She NEVER filed that paperwork. A family member left a 1 star review, stating she was just after people's money & not doing her job. She saw the post & called me up to let me know she would not complete my case due to the third party review. But she'll take their money!

“I would recommend Lauren and Laundis law to anyone looking for an efficient attorney who is willing to fight for you. My daughters father took me back to court to prevent me from moving and to keep her from leaving for college. (She graduated early and we’re all so proud!). My anxiety and fear for t...he both of us was all consuming but Lauren was amazing and put me at ease. She’s confident in the court room, efficient and not willing to play anyone else’s games. She’s a wonderful attorney and you’d be lucky to hire her!”
