On July 2016 the mother of our 6th month old twins boys did the unthinkable. She created an alleged situation about my parents and I and had all three of us served with a protection order with a stay away. Which eventually turned into one of the worse experience a first time father could never imagine. Lauren was recommended to us by John Farrauto who is one of three partners of her Firm. Upon meeting Lauren she quickly created a case and assured me that I will be a father to both my sons after all is said and done. Lauren is a compassionate, empathetic attorney who is protective of her clients. Her willingness to make right of an unjust situation is comforting, making a long custody battle seem shorter than it really is. Her qualifications are clearly displayed on the walls of the office she resides in, reassuring you that you're investing in an extremely intelligent attorney and not some ambulance chaser looking for a dollar. During our 11 month battle in an out of court, supervised visits, protection orders, and an emotional rollercoaster that would break an average human being, Lauren didn't quit, she kept pushing our demands and not settling until we in fact felt what was being offered was fair. In the end what was promised to me did In fact came to be. My two children and I have the relationship I have dreamt of since the day their were born. The tears that were once shed from sadness, turned into tears joy. Lauren thank you for all you have done for the family and I. Your passion for justice has made this all possible and the family and I will be forever grateful!!!! I highly recommend Lauren E. Michaeli, Esq. From the firm of Farrauto, Berman & Slater to defend any parent caught up in a malicious custody battle because she cares and does WHATS RIGHT!!!
