Lauren D. McLane

In December of 2014 I unfortunately got pulled over under the assumption of a DUI. I heard from a friend about the padula associates and went forward with my decision and hiring. Lauren took on my case due to having a greater understanding of the breathalyzer test that the police station used. Lon...g story short; she warned me my case was very, very tricky and it'll need some work. After many months of court dates, phone calls and reaching out to someone who can come on board to help with my case, it was dropped to a reckless driving! She is very adiment and tries her hardest! She gives 100%, easy to contact and kept me in the loop. I never was hesitant on asking her questions, she keeps it real and is very easy to get along with. I would definitely recommend her to someone if they're ever in a situation to potentially getting charged with a DUI. I'm very happy and satisfied with how everything turned out and wouldn't want it any other way.

This past April I was very unfortunate to have been charged with a DUI in the city of Seattle and it was one of the worst experiences Ive ever had. Realizing that a DUI conviction could harm my career and family life I needed to acquire the best help that I could get. Lucky for me I had Lauren ...to defend me throughout the lengthy process of my criminal case. I knew I could trust Lauren she is experienced and well known throughout the court system here in Seattle. I felt that Lauren was very sincere and she was able to put me ease after she took the time to go over the details of my case. She quickly pointed out an immense number of mistakes and violations Seattle police officers made on the night of my arrest. Lauren developed a smart game plan to defend me, it was clear to me that she had a superior understanding/knowledge of the judicial system. In the end, I was able to avoid a license suspension, ignition interlock device and fines!! I was also very impressed with Lauren's communication skills she did a good job keeping me up to date with new developments in my case. It was nice to meet or talk with Lauren multiple times during the week, she truly made her self available for any questions or concerns that I had. I am truly and sincerely thankful for the excellent job Lauren did, she went way above and beyond my expectations. Lauren and the rest of the staff at Padula and Associates are some of the nicest people I have met. I highly recommend Lauren and I would seek her help again for any criminal defense needs.
