Working with Lauren has been an incredibly positive experience. From the very beginning, she brought a deep understanding of special education law, a compassionate approach, and a level of commitment that exceeded all expectations.
She took the time to thoroughly review every detail of our son’s educational records and re-evaluation documents. Thanks to her guidance, we felt much more confident navigating a complicated and often overwhelming system.
One of the things I appreciated most was how skillfully she worked with us as divorced parents. She made sure both of us were fully informed, included, and supported throughout the entire process. She communicated with fairness and professionalism, ensuring that our son’s needs remained the central focus.
Lauren also joined us for IEP meetings, where her presence made a huge difference. She advocated firmly but collaboratively, always centering our son’s best interests. She suggested specific SDIs (specially designed instruction) that were both practical and impactful, and those changes played a big role in our son’s growth and success throughout 8th grade.
We are truly grateful for Lauren’s support, expertise, and dedication. She not only helped us advocate for our son, but she also empowered us to better understand and support his educational journey moving forward. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate advocate in special education.

Lauren continues to play a pivotal role not only in my young son’s quality of life but the future trajectory of his entire life ahead. Lauren’s depth of experience, professional expertise, obvious intelligence and invaluable empathy create an Advocate like no other. She has fought, and continues to fight, for my son as if he were her own. While demonstrating an uncanny ability to effortlessly navigate not only school politics but also family politics, Lauren never wavers in her focus on the actual end-client: my son. She has provided a steady, unrelenting hand when our family needed it the most. And, yet, it’s important to say that while Lauren provides much-needed strength and guidance, she does so with the utmost compassion and sensitivity.
