Lauren Shaw

Integrity, diligence, and a deep respect for others are foundations of an exceptional family law practice. Lauren embodies these values and brings a balanced approach of empathy and objectivity to each case she handles. She understands the difficult experiences her clients face and remains a steadfast, objective advisor – guiding them through the legal process with compassion and support to help achieve their goals.

“At a young age I saw how the court system can impact families and how having a strong advocate can drastically change the outcome of a family court case,” says Lauren. “My goal is not only to resolve legal issues, but to empower clients to move forward with confidence, knowing they have a strong foundation for a better future. I joined Armstrong Law because we share these values and I wanted to surround myself with like-minded and passionate attorneys who love what they do.”

An established attorney with experience in complex property divisions and custody disputes, at both the litigation stage and on appeal, Lauren has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to family law. Before joining Armstrong Law, she was a judicial clerk with the Texas Eleventh Court of Appeals and attorney at a respected Dallas trial and appellate law firm.

Lauren received her Bachelor of Arts from Texas A&M University and her Juris Doctorate from Texas A&M University School of Law. She is a member of the State Bar of Texas and is admitted to practice in all state courts in Texas.
