Lauren Acuna

Lauren has over 15 years of experience in the legal field. She started her career at a large insurance defense firm where she cultivated a special interest in medical malpractice which has become her passion. She has focused almost exclusively in this area throughout her career.

For over a decade Lauren worked as a paralegal for firms which defended large health systems and worked one-on-one with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers in preparing their defense. These years gave Lauren a unique perspective to the inner workings of large hospitals and the thought process of medical professionals while treating patients; it also gave her an inside view of how defense attorneys build the defense of these claims. She worked under the tutelage of attorneys who allowed her to have a hands-on role in the investigative process of negligence claims and learned how to investigate the causal relationship between the negligent act and the damage the plaintiff suffered.

After leaving the defense arena Lauren joined a small Plaintiff’s firm, hired solely because of her experience and knowledge of medical malpractice claims and her inside view of how defense firms evaluate their cases, select their experts, and navigate the defense of these claims. Lauren’s years as a paralegal provided experience in every phase of litigation from pre-suit to trial. She is especially adept at research and discovery.

Lauren’s biggest asset is her tenacious nature and her desire to help those who have suffered due to negligence. She is passionate about the investigative process and brings that passion and tenacity to every case she investigates.
