“An estate plan should reflect a client’s unique circumstances, including their priorities, relationships, and assets. I lead with compassion and curiosity so that my clients feel comfortable revealing these private aspects of themselves, which then allows us to create a plan that is just right for them.”

Lauren is an estate planning attorney serving clients all over greater Portland, Maine. She has worked with young parents and small business owners in Cape Elizabeth, single professionals in Portland, empty nesters in Freeport, a widowed nonagenarian in Saco, and a mix of clients who represent all of those life phases in between. She also meets with clients all over Maine through the use of virtual meetings.

In addition to Lauren’s professional credentials described below, she brings her personal experience as a wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, and pet lover to her work. She has experienced many pivotal moments in all of these roles, including marriage, birth, loss, estrangement, Alzheimers, and supporting loved ones with addiction and in making gender affirming decisions. Good estate planning involves understanding people and relationships, in addition to technical know-how, and Lauren prides herself in both sets of skills.

Since law school, Lauren has clerked for Maine Supreme Judicial Court, worked as an administrator for the Maine Judicial Branch, and practiced law at two Portland law firms. She operated Weliver Law prior to joining Murray Plumb & Murray.
