Lauren Ann Rode

Lauren is so great! She helped me with my case and could not have made it any more easy. She is very knowledgeable with the entire process and makes it painless for you. It can be a stressful time in someones life and having a good attorney to do the tough work is worth it. I just came by and gave he...r all of the documentation needed and she took care of the rest. I would highly recommend to go to her! Plus the price is very fair and reasonable (especially compared to other sb attorneys).

Lauren helped me no one else would give me a chance. I had a labor dispute with a former employer and I had contacted about 50 other lawyers in the San Diego or Los Angeles area. Most of them would look into my case, but because there wasn't as strong of evidence OR there wasn't enough money in the c...ase to be made, they turned me away. Could you imagine what it's like for someone who is currently homeless and was financially wronged by a company but is now robbed of his/her rights because they weren't "worth the money" or "time"? Looking back, it probably wasn't worth my time either, but I had been living in my car and the $1500 or so I would end up settling for later would have been a lot of help. The fact is, it was the principle and that company's wrong had been the catalyst of the most catastrophic downhill period of my life. Even if this doesn't mean squat to the company or to other lawyers, it meant a lot to me and Lauren took the time and was patient enough to listen to me and pursue the case. I probably lost some money as well in the case but I think she empathized about how I felt and decided to take me on. It took about a year and half or two for things to finally go through but from start to finish, I felt as if Lauren had held my hand all the way through. There was never an e-mail that I sent that wasn't answered promptly/professionally or concern left unaddressed. Lauren was there for me when no one else was and that is something that I did not find in other lawyers. Lauren genuinely cares and you can feel it in your interaction with her and the way she takes the time to listen. I appreciate everything she's done for me and would highly recommend her to anyone else seeking law services. Thank you Lauren!!

I first contacted Lauren nearly a year ago when I unexpectedly began experiencing major financial problems. She spoke with me at length on the phone and was extremely knowledgeable simultaneously empathetic. These are two qualities that one doesn’t often find in a person. I thought I would be filing ...bankruptcy. When it became apparent on account of a completely unforseeable event that my filing bankruptcy wasn’t in my best interest Lauren herself told me so costing her businesses. She is a zealous and fierce advocate for her clients best interest and works tirelessly to make sure none of her clients are being taken advantage of. She put my well being and interest first above her own. Since I first spoke with her she has continued to advise me on legal issues when I send her extremely long and detailed emails and I mean littered with questions that likely read like a bar exam question. Lauren never ceases to amaze me. She goes out of her way and always emails me back faster than I can check my email. Her advice is spot on and she is clearly extremely well informed about the law not just bankruptcy law but has a firm command and mastry over the law generally speaking. In short though I have never retained Lauren because I haven’t had a bankruptcy case I have had numerous legal issues and questions related to my legal rights as a consumer and Lauren has never asked for so much as a dollar from me. In a world filled with so many incompetent people of all professions and in particular the general bad reputation lawyers get Lauren is a shining exception and not just an extraordinary lawyer but human being. She is extremely empathetic but don’t let that fool you. She has a strong internal sense of right and wrong and what is fair and it is glaringly obvious she isn’t just in law for the $$ but because it’s her passion and because she wants to make a difference. All I can say is thank you Lauren! You have made a major difference and helped me get through a dark time in my life and to the other side. All I can say if you are reading this and scared because you are worried you may be in legal trouble or are already in legal trouble is call Lauren. It will be a call I assure you that you will never regret.
