Hello! I'm Lauren J. Caisse, Esq. My training to become a Personal Family Lawyer® helps me serve you with a heart-based methodology that gives you clarity and peace of mind toward a life worth living and a legacy worth leaving.. I grew up in Foxborough, Massachusetts and I still reside locally.  I have two daughers and a son.  My youngest will be graduating high school and heading off to college in the Fall.  I enjoy seeing all of my children develop and grow into young adults.  As for me, I love to read – books, magazines if I am short on time, and research reading.  I love being outdoors and I have recently taken up gardening.  I spend a great deal of time on the soccer field watching my son play.  I was also very involved in my church in North Attleboro.­­. I spent a large part of my career as In-House Counsel for Department of Defense contractors.  After 10 years of traveling internationally, I decided it was time to make the switch to private practice.. Why do I do Estate Planning and Probate Administration?  First, I am a planner and I want to help others plan for the “what ifs”.  Second, I enjoy helping people in my local community with their personal and business legal affairs.  I enjoy meeting with my clients and working with them to develop a meaningful estate plan, to manage the probate administration process for them, to draft a contract or lease that will protect their interests, or to set up the business entity that is best for them.  My goals include educating clients along the way; making sure they leave my office with a good understanding of the matter at hand; and gettng to know my clients in order to facilitate a long-term attorney-client relationship.. As one client told me, everyone has a story.  Let me help you with yours!
