Lauren Bokor, Esq. is a practicing Attorney, Mediator, and Collaborative Lawyer, with convenient offices located in New York City and Westchester County. Lauren practiced Divorce and Family law during her impressive career. She therefore brings to you her knowledge of the law on Divorce so that you can resolve your divorce issues in an informed, calm manner and get on with your life.

Having gone through the Court system in her own divorce, Lauren realized that parties going through a divorce need choices in how they resolve their Divorce issues. “At one point my lawyer and my husband’s lawyer were in the Judges chambers discussing our child, our life, and I thought to myself “there had to be a better way.” In most cases and for most people, Mediation or Collaborative law is “a better way”.

Although there are circumstances that warrant traditional Divorce litigation, such as in cases of domestic violence, Lauren believes that most parties are best served in mediation or collaborative law to resolve their divorce issues. The rationale is that, unlike all other areas of litigation, divorcing parties are dealing with emotional issues, such as child-rearing and support. Because of this difference, the traditional litigation system does not always meet the party’s needs. Collaborative law and Mediation fills this void.

Lauren graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 1984 with a degree in Business Administration and she graduated from Cardozo School of Law in 1988 with a J.D. in law.
