“After many years of litigating in Family Court, it became clear to me that families needed better solutions. That’s why I am passionate about helping people resolve their family law disputes outside of court, allowing them to maintain the greatest degree of control over the outcome as possible and saving time, money, and stress in the process.” ~ Lauren
