Terrible Attorney, Life-altering Experience

I hired this attorney, and she concealed my documents that were mailed to her office and attention via FedEx 2Day Air. She concealed them from me and my children, causing us to lose our family home after 15 years, and causing undo emotional distress. I filed a Binding Arbitration with the AAA of Lo...s Angeles Case# 01-17-0004-9814, as she stated in her contact to me if I disagree with the handling of my case, and in the 16-page Arbitration Award Letter, and Judgement Award, she was found guilty of committing Initial court filings "Legal Malpractice and Fiduciary duty" along with her two co-defendants that were also found liable for negligent malpractice and vicarious liability. I won this binding arbitration case against her on June 15, 2022, and have a 16-page award letter and Judgement that was entered on April 19, 2023, against her and her two co-defendants Case# 22STCP03304 for Approximately now $900,000.00, including the plus 10% if not paid in full starting in June 2022, but she has filed Bankruptcy Chapter 13, now the Case# 2:23-bk-13906-WB making it impossible to replace our home during these hard and terrible times, this case is public record please review these cases with the Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles, these are all factual cases. These cases and Judgement are also public records and on file with the Los Angeles Courts in California and are posted on all the court's websites. Avvo, please don't deny me the right to post this true statement about this dishonest attorney. I need the world to know what the State Bar is putting out in the world, in this so-called professional attorney. This is what she did to me, my children, and my family after I trusted her to help us to keep our home, and I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Please read the Court cases on the court websites and run far away from this dishonest and deceptive lady, that calls herself a mother. She also lost her appeal, that she filed with the other attorney who is also responsible and is included in this lawsuit. The "Remittitur" was just issued and received on September 30, 2024. I understand that she might have "5" stars posted here on Avvo, but she is not a "5" star attorney. You don't hurt people and hide up under the Bankruptcy Court, Lauren Rode.

Fantastic and easy to work with

I used Ms. Rode right before the pandemic. She was kind, efficient and my bankruptcy went through in such a smooth way. Its a decision I do not regret at all. I was so stressed and felt so bad about doing it but it changed my life for the better.

Great Bankruptcy Lawyer

Was kind of skeptical in the beginning which is normal! Had a great experience with Lauren on my case and it went pretty fast as well as smooth. One thing you have to keep in mind is that Lauren has multiple cases and as she will respond within 24-48hours, but you'll get that call back!! You have t...o be patient, I promise you... you'll be taken care of! She did what she was suppose to and she answered all questions of my concerns. I would recommend her and ask just to be patient and allow her to do her job for your case.. Also I would say, please don't get upset and that you're in good hands! I promise!! This is my experience and you'll be glad you've taken my advice! Trust me! oh.. don't let me forget to advise you, that she's very affordable too! Right on time and affordable!

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.
