Lauren may seem like she will represent a child appropriately in court in the beginning, but what comes next is abominable. Lauren’s office is ill-equipped to handle billing. I have asked multiple times for a complete fee break down, and still have yet to receive it. Lauren does not promote equality in her approach with both parents of a child, nor does she provide a comprehensive unity in her communication with both parents. Lauren tries to stay involved in a case AFTER court cases have been completed and a judgment provided to all parties. It seems like this is an attempt to continue to gouge fees from clients.
I hired Lauren Bynum in February of 2020. As of the beginning of March 2020 she had not filed any of the things I had asked her to do in my custody case. When I called and spoke with her about something that needed filed she said "Oh yeah I was going to do that"??? I would call to make an appointment and it would have to be for 10 or 12 days down the road. Emails went unanswered, phone calls never returned etc. She made it sounds great in the beginning that she would be able to help me in my case. She lied. After literally doing nothing for 30 days I demanded my $5000 retainer back. She gave me $800. When I consulted with another lawyer they looked in the system and said "Yes I can see where she went on the record as your lawyer and where she removed her self as you lawyer" There was NOTHING in between. In early April 2020 I was told that Lauren had accepted a Magistrate position on the bench. WHAT?? She NEVER disclosed to me that she may be ending her practice. Never. She let me sit there for 2 hours relieving a horribly abusive situation to fill her in on my case for nothing. Knowing the WHOLE time that she was not longer going to be taking cases. This entire process was such a horrible experience.
Lauren Bynum helped a friend through her divorce and I was impressed to see how she took care of my friend throughout the entire process. Thank you for taking such good care of your clients! I can tell that it is important to you that all involved are treated fairly.
