Lauren listens to your situation and really makes sure her approach matches your specific needs and concerns. She has integrity and knowledge that is a necessity when dealing with an ex. Especially and abusive and controlling one. She has given me strength through legal knowledge and options. Empowerment through my decisions and parental rights. She will make sure you are heard and supported.

Lauren exhibited genuine kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism in my case. Her knowlege and experience in matters of child custody put me at ease right away. I would recommend her to any friend in need of legal help.

Lauren Hunt is a talented lawyer whose knowledge of the law is only surpassed by her empathy. Lauren is passionate about pursuing justice and was incredibly sensitive to the challenges I faced as a single mother forced into a legal battle to get my ex-husband to pay his share of my daughter’s college tuition. She was flexible with her hours, allowing me to meet with her in the evenings, by phone, or even on the weekend. She was also flexible with payments, knowing that the burden of college tuition and lawyers’ fees was overwhelming for me. When the family courts’ decisions defied common sense and the law, Lauren stood with me and skillfully argued my appeals and, ultimately, helped me win. I would recommend Lauren to anyone who needs a top-notch lawyer with unparalleled integrity.

I began my divorce proceedings with a different attorney, who was a poor choice. Ms. Hunt fixed the damage and moved the process through to its completion. She listened well and aligned her efforts with what I was trying to achieve, which was a more cooperative, less hostile divorce. She was pleasant and perfectly professional. The whole thing worked out better than I had expected.

If you're on this website searching for an attorney to lead the charge for you into family court, look no further! I was paying Jewish Family Services (great place) $75 an hour for supervised visitations and was at the mercy of a specific Albany Family Court judge and my daughter's mother. One day (after many years of undue stress and court appointed conflict defenders) I decided to bite the bullet and hire an attorney. I might have found Hunt on this website actually. She has a couple of awards for some things and is a dog lover so I decided to use her. She has an excellent staff and is centrally located. As not to make the support staff a side note, her support staff is really excellent. Anyway, the results. After going to both child support court and family court with Ms. Hunt (for about a year and a half), not only do I get to see my daughter more, I now have her for the Majority of the time! What comes with majority physical custody? Child Support! Yes, I'm getting paid child support after paying it for 10 years! Words can't describe how that feels! As for my title to this post (Take it all the way to trial), trial was necessary for the outcome I desired because there was no way Mom is just giving up her daughter. Trial was a real pleasure for me because Hunt is very nice until trial time. Watching her just rip the opposition to shreds and actually fight for my best interests was worth every dime I spent. It was like watching a movie! I couldn't have asked for a better attorney or better results.

I worked with Lauren on my prenuptial agreement and she was extremely helpful with answering my questions, giving advice, and helping me feel comfortable with a document that can sometimes create uncomfortable situations. She's great with timely responses and offers fair pricing. Highly recommended!

Lauren has helped me all the way through the divorce process and made it as painless as possible. Lauren represented me for the custody of my son and being the dad my hopes weren't that high. Lauren is amazing in the courtroom and knows just what to say at the right time. Lauren specializes in family court and it shows, if you are getting into this type of legal situation she is your best bet. I have already personally recommended her to 2 different friends going through similar issues.

Lauren was a fabulous lawyer in the sense of watching out for her client. I felt she was always looking at the view points of making sure that my values and needs were being heard and important. She was easily accessible through email or a phone call, was always prompt to return my call. She was also doing her job to help me get through the case without needing to pay a fortune to my lawyer, she was always looking out for me. I would HIGHLY recommend Lauren Hunt as a lawyer!

Ms. Hunt represented me during my divorce. She kept sight of the big picture and didn't let me get discouraged by anything minor. She worked well with the attorney for my child and helped negotiate custody. Negotiate is the key here - Lauren works efficiently and effectively to bring parties to a compromise. She was always available when needed, and worked hard to wrap up my divorce as quickly as possible. She is knowledgeable in her field and her expertise will yield you positive results.
