While growing up, Lauren remembers the constant news of officer-involved shootings in the Bay Area. While she always knew she wanted to pursue a career helping people, this fueled Lauren’s passion for a career in the criminal defense field.

Lauren received her law degree from University of San Francisco School of Law, where she worked in the criminal law clinic, and her bachelor’s degree in Communications and Political Science from San Francisco State University. Prior to joining The Nieves Law Farm, Lauren clerked at the Unified Family Court and then interned at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office where she worked on a number of felony cases as well as in the public policy unit advocating for release of police misconduct records. As a member of the Alameda County Bar Association, she looks forward to using her experience to provide zealous legal representation to all of her clients.
