Attorney Biography
Lauren Hulse is the founder of Hulse Law Firm. A Colorado Native, she has practiced law since 2008. She began her career as a fellow for two distinguished District Court Judges in Douglas and Arapahoe Counties. After completing her fellowship position, she was an associate attorney at a large firm in Colorado Springs, followed by her position as a senior associate attorney at a large firm based in Denver. Both firms focused exclusively on family law matters.
Lauren opened the Hulse Law Firm in October of 2014 to provide highly individualized services to people with family law issues and estate planning matters.
In 2017 and 2018, Lauren Hulse was selected as a Rising Star with Super Lawyers for her work in family law.
Lauren serves as the chair for the Membership Committee of the Alliance of Professional Women, and is a member of the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, family law section, and 18th Judicial Bar Association.
Education:
Lauren earned her Bachelor of Arts at the University of San Diego, graduating cum laude in 2005. She obtained her Juris Doctor in 2008 from the University of Denver. While at DU, she was the recipient of the Scholastic Excellence Award, and was selected by her professors to be a Teacher’s Assistant for a legal writing course and a Research Assistant on the topic of juror’s motives.
Experience:
At the fellowship position, Lauren obtained invaluable experience watching cases unfold from Judges’ perspectives. She regularly uses this experience to guide her clients in preparation of hearings and in reaching settlements.
In the past ten+ years, Lauren has represented over 500 clients in family law matters, and including divorce cases with complex asset division issues, parenting time matters, modifying child support and parenting time, contempt issues, restraining orders, appellate matters, dependency and neglect issues, and adoptions.
She also has in depth knowledge of military divorce issues, cases that involve the issue or allegation of sexual abuse, and issues of grandparent visitation. While she strives to and usually reaches a settlement in cases, she has extensive litigation experience, including representation at temporary orders, permanent orders, advisements, contempt hearings, oral arguments, and other hearings with family law issues at hand.
Lauren believes if a fair and thorough settlement can be reached, this is generally best for the client, the client’s future co-parenting relationship, and any children involved. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, Lauren is ready to litigate any issues necessary to make sure her client’s assets are protected, and to ensure that any orders that would be in the children’s best interests are sought in a hearing in a Court of Law.
Lauren also believes that everyone deserves to have access to a legal professional and could benefit from some legal help throughout the process, even if such services are provided on a limited basis. Lauren seeks to provide legal representation, unbundled legal services, and mediation services to best meet the specific needs of her clients.
