About
Lauren Barnhart grew up in Tacoma, Washington with her mom, three brothers and a village of aunts and uncles. Lauren learned at an early age that hard work and creative solutions can allow you to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Lauren realized early on that she would need to find her own way to pay for college, so by her senior year, she had secured a full-ride music scholarship to a four-year university, was the principal bassoonist in the Tacoma Youth Symphony and performed in Carnegie Hall.Lauren entered law school with lofty ambitions of bringing international war criminals to justice, but soon realized that she felt the greatest reward serving individuals within her own community. Practicing family law allows Lauren the opportunity to help families navigate through what is arguably the most difficult time of their lives. When Lauren meets a client for the first time, she wants them to know above all else that their case matters to her, and that she can get them through to the other side. Lauren practices law with integrity and compassion and believes that when dealing with families, the best outcomes are not measured by winners and losers, rather equitable solutions and child-focused results. While Lauren does maintain a successful and active litigation practice, she will first try and explore all opportunities for settlement to avoid litigation. Coming from a modest background, Lauren truly appreciates the price tag, and her goal is always to reach the most equitable outcome, as expeditiously and efficiently as possible.Lauren moved from Washington to Oregon in 2007 and has been living in Portland since shortly after graduating cum laude from Willamette University College of Law in 2012. Lauren began her legal career working with a solo practitioner at a small firm in NE Portland, then honed her legal skills working at a larger firm before landing at Posey Legal, PC where works with her longtime friend and colleague Joanna Posey.In her free time, Lauren enjoys camping, wine and beer tasting, playing board games, and playing several musical instruments. While she likes to appease her Washington roots by pointing out that we were at one time one big Oregon Territory, she calls Portland her home. Lauren’s favorite thing about Portland is all the available outdoor activities. She loves that you can access the desert, the mountains, the coast or the river all with only an hour or two drive. Then when you get back, you can take advantage of Portland’s up-and-coming food scene with restaurants that cater to all cuisines, vast array of breweries and urban wineries, eco-conscious transportation, self-sufficient neighborhoods, and a lively alternative music scene.

I would give her 10 stars if I could! You need an attorney to help in ur case and call out liars, she’s the one for you. My daughter is in a WAY better place now that she is with me. I will definitely use her again if anything is needed. I’m so proud that I had her though my case and she answered all the questions I had and never once lied to me. I’m proud I had her on my side to get my daughter back and stick up to a man that was an abuser to me and her. She is the one for you if you need someone to show the right way. She is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t of been more happy.
Lauren was patient and kind. She looked out for the best interest of my kids and never stopped even with the opposing party waswilling to stop at nothing short of destroying me or my character. It was a long battle but Lauren was always there and always pointed me in the best direction. She's awesome and am grateful for everything she did for me and my kids!
Lauren handled a dispute I had with my ex-wife over the amount of spousal support due once she started receiving SS Income which became quite challenging due to a lack of cooperation from my ex-wife and her attorney which resulted in our going through the mediation process which Lauren handled wonderfully.
Lauren has been my attorney for a few years now, and I really appreciate her professionalism and responsiveness. She is always willing to help me with follow up questions, and has been a valuable resource to me.
Very helpful and knowledgeable about how to finance and come through a very difficult time.
Lauren has helped me with 2 legal situations both with positive results. I appreciate your hard work Lauren.. thank you
Lauren was fantastic to work with. When everything felt massive and important, she kept me on track with what was truly important to winning my divorce trial. She was always there when I had a question or concern, and she also kept costs in mind- not wracking up frivolous charges for things I didn't need.
Lauren recently represented me in divorce proceeding and did a stellar job, beginning to end. Lauren is very professional and very thorough, taking the time to really explain what is happening in your case and your best options. The bottom line is always trust and I totally trusted Lauren to represent me and do a great job! I highly recommend her.
Lauren did an excellent job of advising me about communicating in a difficult grandparent situation. She read the difficult communications from the other party and she provided excellent guidance for me to respond. Eventually I was able to obtain some limited access to visit time with the grandchild involved, which was a result I did not have before working with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren!
Lauren is without question a God sent for us. She has helped me and my family through one of the hardest times in our lives. She has been incredibly, understanding, patient, helpful, available, has empathy, is very realistic and honest, along with always being willing to listen. Lauren will fight hard for your cause, because your cause becomes her cause and I think that is very important in whatever situation a person is facing. I highly recommend Lauren along her firm Landerholm Law.
