Do not recommend

Ms. Cirlin seemed competent at first. My case was not difficult but she neglected to review the details and performed horribly. My (ex) wife hired a savvy attorney and Ms. Cirlin was not in the same league. She failed to anticipate issues and therefore failed in the negotiations. I don't recommend hi...ring her. I read the reviews and thought she was a good attorney, but after I paid her a lot of money she did nothing for me. If I represented myself I could have done a better job.

The Best in California

My case was a little bit odd to some extend. I have been divorced for over 10 years. Me and my ex wife agreed by signing a contract that she won't collect spousal support since she took everything from the house, and from the sale of the house. But, she came back demanding spousal support. I'm so ...blessed that I found Lauren and her wonderful team. She is an awesome human being apart from an excellent lawyer who is always prepared. The judge denied my ex wife's request. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone.

Fast, efficient, knowledgeable, friendly.

I hired Lauren over a year into my divorce settlement. Things were getting out of control, and my (ex-)wife's lawyers were pulling all kinds of tricks to try and extort me for assets and spousal support. Progress had halted, and was starting to go backwards. A friend of mine recommended Lauren and Vi...ola Law. After just a couple of conversations with Lauren, including some clever strategy and wise guidance, she quickly gave me some tools I needed to navigate the bullshit that I was facing from the other side. Within three weeks, we reached a fair settlement that I was overwhelmingly happy with. Thank you Lauren for your help.

Client's Best Interest Always First Priority

Lauren took over a very involved, complicated and ugly divorce. She hit the ground running!! She's thorough, competent, imaginative, reliable, and down right fantastic! I definitely came out on top thanks to Lauren.

Solid, knowledgeable, a fighter for her clients

Lauren is extremely knowledgeable in her area of the law and is an indomitable advocate for her client's best interest. Her in-depth preparation of cases and prudent approach to issues calls for the respect of the opponents and carries the day in highly disputed court procedures. Lauren has the ...unique talent of seeing through the strategy of the opposing party and spotting the weaknesses in arguments. I have observed Lauren obtain beneficial results for her client in situations where the other party initially had the upper hand. She is not intimidated easily by experience or aggressive argument and always rises to the occasion. With Lauren by your side, a client is sure to get the best advice and the staunchest advocacy.

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.
