Carrboro, formally known as Venable, was named in 1913 after Julian Shakespeare Carr, owner of the local textile mill which supplied the community with electricity. It has a reputation for being one of the most progressive cities in the South as it was the first municipality to elect an openly gay mayor in 1995, and was the first in the state to grant domestic-partner benefits to same-sex couples. Since the 80s, the town has seen constant growth, increased diversity, and hosts several annual events for its population of 20,000+.

Lauren did an excellent job representing me throughout this entire process. From start to finish, I felt confident trusting her guidance and decisions, and I always knew I was in capable hands. She was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. I would highly recommend Lauren and this law firm to anyone going through a custody battle.

Frequently Asked Questions
A divorce lawyer may seem like an extra expense if both parties agree on the big decisions, but the details of a divorce can be complex and hard to navigate without an expert, and getting the agreement properly written ensures that everyone has the security and clarity they need to move forward with their lives. It’s better to do it right the first time than have to keep going back and fixing mistakes. And, in some cases, you may not be able to fix your mistakes.
You should ask a potential divorce lawyer about their prior experience with cases like yours, their approach to negotiations when couples reach a disagreement, and their personal success rate in arriving at a resolution through negotiation and/or mediation.
You cannot have one lawyer serve both parties in a divorce. This would be a conflict of interest. It’s incredibly important that each party feels their individual needs are represented and voiced, and that cannot be done with a single lawyer serving as the representative for both parties.
