Where do I begin? She is terrible. Now she is now a JUDGE!?! During my dealings with her, I pleaded with her to not use a psychiatrist, because he was a complete quack. I discovered the psychiatrist's license was suspended due to his having a sexual relationship with a client, and he was seeing my teenage daughter alone! Caudill finally acquiesced when the psychologist used "magic dust" as part of treatment. Caudill met multiple times with my ex at their home, but never at my home. Caudill trafficked in unsubstantiated gossip in the community to make her decision. I found out later when she made recommendations in my case against me that she was going through a nasty divorce with her husband, and was told by a mutual friend that she hated men. My VERY well established attorney told me she has a reputation in the legal community as being lazy. She is not suppose to weigh in on child support matters, but told the judge that she saw me at Starbucks so I could afford to pay more support.

She advocated for the man in this article to have custody of his child. Note: He killed his ex-wife, ex-mother in law, an innocent child (not his), and his ex's boyfriend before killing himself.
She thought that this guy was a more stable parent than the ex-wife. She gave advocated that my ex son in law have custody of my grandchildren. So far each child has left that home as soon as they turned 18 and has reported ongoing abuse.

Lauren Caudill has bad reviews because she is horrible. As a GAL she sides with one parent and is unprofessional to the other. Does not follow what us in place with a court order. I feel bad for kids who have her as a GAL. She needs to be audited as an attorney. She makes a lot of assumptions and does not research. Sad the court keeps her.

If you get her as your GAL make sure your lawyer is a friend of hers. Once she found out who my exes lawyer was she changed her tone and did zero research on the case. She was completely biased and we chose to end the case before trial as we could see the writing on the wall. Thanks to her my kids are now trapped in a home where there often isn't any food and where they were molested. She's a joke of a GAL and I feel for any children who have been forced to stay in bad situations due to her caring more about her professional relationships than the actual child.

Lauren is just an excuse of a GAL. She doesn't have Interest of the kids at heart. I'm sure there are so many teenage kids out there that would have wish their parents had fair professional GAL. She is up for sale.

Lauren might get bad reviews because she does not put up with any b.s. She is no-nonsense. In my case she figured out what was going on in about an hour and was impartial... looking out for the best interests of my children. Even when they don't realize what is best for them. My only complaint is that she is not timely with her communication, but I know how much work ... and sometime serious cases (more serious than mine) ... that a G.A.L. has on their plates.

Ms. Caudill was the GAL for my son for several years. My situation was ugly and sticky, as many are. Divorce and custody hearings are fueled by emotion, which is why we need a GAL to look out for our children. She was ONLY on my son's side, ONLY looking out for what was in his best interest. These reviews are shocking to me. She is not, and cannot be, "out to win". She has nothing to win. She's not a part of the case. She's impartial.

This woman was the worst excuse for a GAL I have ever encountered, and I grew up in the foster care system. She sided with my childrens father, did his home study, frequently visited their house, and did none of this with me. She actually made up things that my children said. They confirmed later that they told her they wanted to live with me, and they even told her about the abuse that was going on in their fathers house. She consistently YELLED at me over the phone saying I'd "have a snowballs chance in hell at custody) ( I have the recordings to prove this) and ridiculed me for being in a same sex relationship. She made it apparent in court that she was anti-gay when she felt the need to remind the judge that it didn't matter if my partner and I were married and in a happy home, because gay marriage was not legal in Virginia. She was only appointed because she sat in on my initial hearing and VOLUNTEERED to take that case as GAl. Worst experience ever!

I worked with Lauren as GAL on a difficult case and was pleasantly surprised when she got the "gist" of what was going on in about 1/2 hour. She is very intuitive and asked great questions in court. I agree, she is not for either parent but for the CHILD. So get with the program or get over it.

I have had Lauren Caudill as our GAL for many years. Trust me she only cares about the children and if you are a parent or grandparent that is what you should want. There is NO getting on Laurens good side, she doesn't do sides. If it wasn't for Lauren Caudill, I honestly don't think I would have changed my life so radically. I have hated her when things didn't go my way but when I followed all her recommendations(some took time) and waited patiently and took every course she recommended I eventually got physical custody back of my children. It took a lot of time and hard work but I can honestly say she helped to change my life. It took 2 -3 years of hard work and follow thru to get my kids back however I have had them now for 5 years full physical custody and I have NEVER turned back! Lauren can not be fooled she does her homework and she will not play games! I love her and if you want what is best for your children then she is the best!

Lauren Caudill has been the ONLY GAL that has cared about the welfare and safety of my children. She most certainly is not afraid to weed through bs, do her job or whats right for the children. I give her many thanks.

Dealing with children and divorce is always difficult in any situation. Ms. Caudill was very professional and caring to both parties but at the same time looked over the best interest of the children. I highly recommend her to anyone going through a divorce that has children. When courts appont a guardian you don't know what is best for your children - I was blest that she was chosen as the children responded well with her. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Ms. Caudill

Ms. Caudill was appointed as gaurdian for my grandchildren during a custody battle. She showed the utmost of care in the situation. She completely had the children's best interest at heart and was one of the easiest people to talk to. Her knowledge of the law was extensive and her dedication to the case was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone.

Lauren Caudill is very unprofessional. She has a hard time meeting with her clients in a timely manner and also directs her cases in the direction she believes is correct, not how her clients ask her to.
