"I highly recommend Ms. Lauren R. Patrick at Gale, Angelo, Johnson, and Patrick P.C. for anyone going through a divorce. She was knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate, and she helped guide me through the legal process with ease. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the entire process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Lauren R. patrick, for your expertise and support."

I was having an impossible time getting my and my children's lives back on track after a falling out with their mother. I had tried every avenue to stabilize the situation, but was fighting against substance abuse and false accusations to try to cover it. Every time I thought I would get my children and I on a stable footing, and some kind of agreement worked out with their mother, she'd throw it all out the window and we'd be back to square one. People just weren't believing the extreme things she was doing, and every time she'd destabilize our lives it'd come with an even larger set of accusations to cover it up. It ultimately culminated in me moving out of state on the promise the custody agreement would be maintained from her attorney, only to have her fire her attorney and renig on the agreement after we had moved. She was gatekeeping my access and communication to the children so severely I almost never got to speak with or see them, and then she would turn around and tell DCSS and other agencies I'd abandoned them and never spoke to or saw them. A relocation that had been planned for months with her attorney, she'd turn around and claim was abrupt and unexpected. It was an absolute nightmare. I hired Lauren, and she immediately went to work. Fighting every step of the way. Taking down each false accusation in court. Showing the court system exactly what my children and I had been going through, and fighting to end it. There were so many times with the onslaught of these claims and accusations that I wanted to give up, I just couldn't handle the stress of nearly two years of it. But Lauren convinced me that I had a good case. I was a good father. Being with me is what was best for the kids. And things would only get worse if the situation was left unaddressed. And it ultimately paid off.
Not only am I happy with the outcome, and my children are happy to finally be reunited with their older brother, and our new life together without the stress of this situation looming over our heads. But I got myself back. I'd gotten to the point where I was questioning whether or not I knew what was best for my own kids, whether or not I deserved what I thought was fair. But after all the times Lauren told me "Don't give up, we can do this." - it finally stuck in my head. Best money I've ever spent. And knowing she's got my back from now until my kids are adults has let me finally relax and just focus on being a dad.

We were at a loss, beyond words, when our visitations with our granddaughter was abruptly stopped.
We hired Lauren Pruett and her team to specifically to re-establish overnight visits with our granddaughter. We followed her guidance thoroughly and now we have overnights, day visits, and scheduled FaceTime calls.
Lauren's experience and professionalism was evident in and outside the courtroom. She outlined what we should expect and gave us a realistic timeline that was very accurate.
Even after our success with our case, Lauren continues to check in with us. She cares about her clients. I would highly recommend Lauren Pruett. She is passionate about family law rights.

Lauren has helped me in so many ways to let me see my son and deal with my issues with his mother. She has always had my back and never dropped the ball. Her team is spot on too! I’m so happy I found her and would recommend her to anyone going through custody problems or even divorce issues. I rely heavily on Lauren’s ability to give me advice as well as hold me up when I think things are at its worst. I feel also that her firm is worth every penny!
