Lauren only practices family law because she has a passion for representing real people with real problems. Practicing family law typically entails more than just representing a client. A family law attorney must be prepared to handle the nebulous, emotional issues that are often accentuated during family law disputes. Thus, the family law attorney must be able to provide their client with the resources and emotional support so that the family can move forward, even if the marriage cannot. Lauren provides her clients with compassionate, yet honest representation.. Lauren frequently appears in court on behalf of her clients. She is prepared, efficient, and articulate. Lauren also has a passion for helping clients outside of the courtroom. She handles divorce mediations – either acting as the neutral mediator for a couple seeking a divorce or representing one party in mediation. Lauren also practices collaborative divorce, which is a process whereby a team of professionals, including attorneys, mental health professionals, and financial professionals work together to amicably and efficiently separate a marriage.. Lauren graduated from Bucknell University in 2006 and then obtained her law degree of the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2011. Lauren’s interest in family law began right after she graduated law school, while she was clerking for Judge James T. Russell in Carson City, NV who presided over many family law cases. After her clerkship, Lauren went to work for the law firm Allison, MacKenzie, Pavlakis, Wright & Fagan, in Carson City, Nevada practicing family law. Later, Lauren practiced family law at the law firm Woodburn and Wedge in Reno, Nevada. During her tenure there, Lauren was named in the annual list, “Legal Elite 2015: Nevada’s Top Attorneys.”.

We know family Attorneys -   with serious addictions that diminish their abilities and effectiveness   who love to drag out cases by being unresponsive or ridiculously vicious in their responses   that add fuel to the fire to extend cases and always push for Court   that seem to charge huge sums for not very much work   that appear in Court unprepared and are not respected by the Court

I am a Nevada licensed attorney with over 10 years' experience in both state and federal court. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the Ohio State University and a Juris Doctorate from Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio.. I began my career with the Washoe County Public Defender's Office, Family Court Division. My love for family law blossomed from there.

During my time in California, my family law work included extensive research on child support, equitable distribution of assets, financial planning, and projections in divorce cases, as well as, dealing with complex child custody and child support issues. In 2010, I returned to Reno, my childhood home. I currently focus my practice on family law as that is what I love to do. I have expended my practice to include estate planning and business law, not only to enhance my practice, but to also meet the growing needs of my clients.
