Lauren is a native Californian, born and raised in Santa Cruz. Lauren knew from a young age that she was driven to pursue a lifetime of serving others as a legal advocate.

Following her passion for social justice, Lauren began studying at Cabrillo College and then to San Jose State University where she completed an Associates Degree and a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science, respectively. She continued her studies at Baylor University earning a law degree with a concentration on trial advocacy in 2013.

Her trial experience began at Baylor where she held internships with both the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office and the Travis County Attorney’s office helping prosecute cases related to crimes against children and alcohol or illegal substance related traffic violations.

After graduation, Lauren returned to the Bay Area and after a year and a half at a local estate planning practice, and family law practice, she, along with her partner Natalie Gomez, founded Gomez Edwards Law Group in 2016. Located in Santa Clara County, the practice serves their client’s family law and estate planning needs. Lauren was admitted to the State Bar of California in 2014.

Outside the office, Lauren continues to explore and experience the California she grew up in. She loves taking coastal road trips, hiking our State and National parks, and immersing herself in the state’s diverse cultural heritage. When not traveling she can be found with her nose in a book or researching her goal of seeing all 419 National Park Sites.
