Lauri K. Martin
Lauri became a California licensed attorney in 1990. Lauri is a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS), as certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. Initially, Lauri practiced civil litigation and then she moved into family law in 1996 and never looked back. Lauri is highly experienced both inside and outside the courtroom.
Lauri has handled a vast range of family law matters, including child custody disputes, securing spousal support /alimony and child support, characterization, valuation and division of community property and separate property, and modifications of support orders, as well as representing victims of domestic violence.
Lauri speaks about her approach for clients:
I consider myself to be a responsible litigator. I try early and often to resolve all issues by agreement, so my client can obtain the greatest certainty as soon as possible. My philosophy, proven over time, is that analyzing the matter as though trial may be inevitable allows me to most readily determine the early settlement value of a case, and also lays the groundwork for efficient representation if litigation becomes necessary.
Lauri’s clients describe her as incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, experienced as well as assertive, and aggressive when needed.
Lauri is married and the mother of two daughters.
