Wanderman Family Law

I don't use the term "life saver" lightly -- Lauren truly is one. I was devastated when my husband walked out. I could barely get out of bed, was deep in depression, and after a terrible experience with an overly aggressive lawyer a friend had recommended, I felt completely lost. Finding Lauren from Wanderman Family Law changed everything. Lauren is smart, savvy, compassionate, and absolutely dedicated to her clients. From the first meeting, she was 100% on my side. She explained everything in clear, gentle language at a time when I was in no shape to process anything complicated. My husband hired a so-called "ball-buster," but Lauren handled every step with fairness, strength, strategy, and integrity. I always felt supported, protected, and respected. She negotiated a complex but fair divorce settlement in which my spousal support covered my mortgage -- something that truly saved me. Two years later, I'm back on my feet emotionally and financially, and that is entirely thanks to her. She's still helping me buy out my ex and secure full ownership of my home. Lauren consistently goes above and beyond. One example: late on a Friday, my loan company told me I needed a legal letter by

I am so glad Lauren was recommended by another firm. The mediation she provided for my ex-wife and I through the divorce was the best. She was thorough, efficient with time, and communicated very well with both of us through the filing process and zoom meetings. I shopped around with many firms from SF and down the peninsula, and she had very reasonable hourly rates. I would absolutely recommend Lauren!

Lauren was recommended to me by my wife's attorney for the collaborative prenup agreement we needed drafted before our wedding. (The process calls for different lawyers to represent each party.) She offered to meet with me and explain the issues before I retained her and educated me about the law and the practical issues throughout the process. I appreciated her ability to work with the other side to accommodate the tight time line we needed for the drafting of our agreements, as well as her attention to detail, responsiveness, and reasonable fees. I would highly recommend her.

Lauren helped me through a collaborative prenup drafting process with my fiancee and his lawyers, and she has been but nothing but amazing throughout. She helped me navigate and understand how the details in what we were drafting would affect me, and proactively pointed out all the (legal) possibilities that I should protect myself from. When we had vagaries on laws pertaining to other areas, she was also not shy to call in other specialists immediately to make sure that what we were drafting was as durable and consistent as possible. She has also been very perceptive to how I was feeling and doing in meetings with the other party. In a group dynamic I can be quiet - and she always made sure to call attention to my concerns and suggestions. Topping all that off, she was always prompt, organized, respectful and empathetic to all parties... I could go on. I have felt incredibly taken care of through this whole process, and I will heartily recommend Lauren to anyone else seeking counsel.

Lauren is a class act. She "held my hand", kept me focused and got what was fair and the best for me in my/our divorce. I call her when I need a little extra support (never thought I would keep a retainer but when needed it's needed)! She is ALWAYS prompt with a reply. She is compassionate and smart. You will not be sorry if you call Lauren, you will feel calm and get what you need in your family law matters.
