Block Reid

A few weeks ago, a client shared how compassionate and informed Jonas Hwang and Lauren Coppinger were throughout their divorce. Today we're spotlighting Lauren and the dedication behind reviews like that.

Lauren practices exclusively in family law and tailors her approach to every client's unique story. She earned her law degree from UIC Law, graduating cm laude, and externed in the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County. She joined our firm as a law clerk before becoming an Associate Attorney.

We're proud of the empathy and precision Lauren brings to every case.

Look at these two!

Still smiling from the Illinois Jewish Judges Association Annual Dinner! The Block | Reid team had a wonderful time at RPM Private Events. Wonderful people, a meaningful cause, and a night worth remembering. 🥂

Grateful to be surrounded by a legal community that leads with purpose.

Not every family law matter requires the same level of legal involvement, but some situations are significantly more complex than they appear at the start.

Cases involving contested parenting schedules, relocation, business ownership, or significant financial assets often become difficult to manage without legal guidance. Even small missteps early in the process can have long-term consequences.

While some matters may begin amicably, they can shift quickly when emotions or financial stakes change.

We believe in clarity, not escalation. Our role is to help clients understand when legal support is essential and when a simpler approach may still be appropriate: https://rizzoyoung.biz/blockreid
