Lauren spends a large portion of her time litigating interstate and intrastate trucking cases, and her clients have prevailed against defendants of every stripe from individuals to multi-national corporate conglomerates. Another focus of Lauren’s practice is on premises liability cases, and in particular, building fire cases.
