About
Born and raised in the Heath Springs area of Lancaster, South Carolina, Lauren is a proud graduate of Andrew Jackson High and earned her Associate’s Degree from the University of South Carolina. Forever to Thee! These days, Lauren stays busy as a single mom to her Three C’s—Chelsea, Colton, and Clayton—who keep her on her toes at the ballfield with their love for cheerleading, soccer and baseball.
Family law found its way into Lauren's heart a few years ago. As both a child of divorce and someone who's walked the road of divorcing and co-parenting, she understands how emotional and complex the journey can be. Lauren considers it a privilege to help support and guide others through these times—helping them feel seen, understood, and never alone.
Outside of work, Lauren has a passion for cooking and baking (her therapy). She is currently working on mastering irresistible homemade macarons. She also enjoys spending time outdoors, fishing, hiking, reading books, hunting for treasures at thrift stores and yard sales, and most of all spending time with her loved ones.
