Expert Divorce Appellate Attorney

Paul Saucy of Saucy & Saucy, P.C. had handled the trial portion of my divorce case beautifully and effectively. The moment Lauren Saucy learned that the opposing party had filed a notice to appeal, she called me to explain the appeals process and asked if I wanted her to represent me. I, of co...urse, said yes, and from that time on I could not have been better represented through the appeal. Lauren mastered the case early on and suggested the most likely outcome range. She provided well-thought analysis of the opposition's arguments and her counter-arguments. She was spot-on identifying important points and downplaying fluff. She guided me through a settlement offer that was never acknowledged. At each step, she kept me apprised of upcoming events. Lauren's brief was strong, straightforward, and provided a great legal analysis of the case. I could clearly see the strength of her legal reasoning and writing skills. By report, she provided strong oral argument and knocked down the opposing attorney's "misstatements of fact" in a calm manner. Throughout the lengthy appeal process, Lauren remain professional and gracious, and she, Paul Saucy, and their office staff worked to help me through the process. Lauren called as soon as she received the Appellate Court decision. I could not be happier with the outcome. Even now, Lauren continues to fight for me to recoup attorney's fees and costs. I am certain that Lauren Saucy is the best divorce appellate attorney!

Who you choose matters!

If you want to get things done, and done RIGHT, hire Saucy & Saucy. In a world filled with deceit and mediocrity, Saucy & Saucy are an oasis of integrity, honesty and hard work. They are aggressive, yes, not rude, not unkind, but aggressive- they will go after what needs to get done and WILL GET IT... DONE. During my case, this firm stayed focused and on task, with CONSTANT communication. They coached me to be a better version of myself! They did not let me give up the thousand times I wanted to, because they knew I needed validation- they understood that the years of being undermined as a parent and as a woman, had taken a toll on me. Saucy & Saucy's constant support and relentless pursuit of justice have helped me gain confidence in life and in myself to be trusting and to become the strong woman I once was. My case was very complex, with a very conniving, manipulative, unethical spouse. As I drowned in dispair, they saw through the mess of finances that my husband had created. They organized, tracked and made sense of all the complex transactions. Yes, they are expensive. And they ought to be! They provide first class service. Every time we had to appear against the other party, they would be timely and well prepared with all necessary documents thoroughly and neatly organized. While the opposing parties would write snide comments and rants in their emails, Saucy & Saucy remained professional, curteous, and still strong. A class act. I am extremely happy with the outcome of my ordeal, and I have this incredible staff to thank! The judge required my ex to reimburse to me ALL attorney fees charged from Saucy & Saucy office. WOW. I live eternally grateful!

Tremendous Family Law Attorney

I worked with Paul Saucy on my divorce. As my case ended up needing to go to trial, his legal partner, Lauren Saucy, spoke with me at length as she reviewed my documents and prepared data for the trial. She quickly sensed the details of my case, and mastered the intricacies of my financial records... and multitude of data. She was supportive and walked me through the lineup of trial events to expect, so that, when I did go to court, I felt as comfortable as I could have. I understand that her attention to detail is critical so that there would be little, if anything, for the opposing side to claim on appeal. Lauren's expertise meant that our exhibits at trial were clear and pertinent, and that was critical in telling my story, and in the satisfying outcome.

Lauren Saucy is an excellent divorce/domestic relations attorney!!!!

Lauren Saucy went to bat for me, like no other attorney I have ever seen. She was compassionate, caring, informative, and did an awesome job, where my spouse and her attorney were unresponsive, and belated in their replies to matters that needed to be addressed. She did an excellent job of expla...ining the way the court looks at the assets and liabilities. I, who practice law, in a totally different area, would recommend her to anyone who needs help in a domestic relations case. Her staff is excellent, and Lauren intervened, on my behalf, at many critical times.

Lauren Saucy represented me in a child custody case and hearing. She is professional and has a full understanding of the law

Lauren Saucy’s communication with me, from the time I hired her, was superior. I was always informed of possible reactions from the opposition attorney and what might happen next. She educated me about legal procedures and how best to proceed to the next step. When Lauren was gone during brief per...iods, her office staff was always available to answer questions and proceed during her absence. Lauren tried some new techniques of gathering information that she adapted successfully to my case. The week before the trail, Lauren and her staff put together the tons of information we both had gathered into time lines and relevant events that made the trial convince the judge of the seriousness of this case. My divorce and child custody case was complicated with two young children, self employed, multiple businesses, farm, residential, commercial properties and a limited budget. She kept me focused throughout my busy life of balancing making a living and taking care of my children. None of it was easy but Lauren’s help mad it all possible

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have had the experience of being the opposing lawyer, mediator and appellate collaborator of Lauren Saucy for over 15 years. Lauren is highly skilled and knowledgeable in all areas of family law allowing her to be both a very effective trial lawyer but also an objective & reasonable lawyer who can obtain fair settlements out of court. Honesty, knowledge and skill are attributes that are not often found in the same person but Lauren is that rare combination of all those things that allows her to serve her clients extremely well. I endorse her and have recommended her often when I have been unable to take a case myself. If I ever needed a lawyer for myself I would not hesitate to hire her."
