LAUREN K. FYFE, ESQ.

I founded Fyfe Law Firm in 2013 to offer thoughtful legal guidance with a personal, approachable touch. Based in San Diego County, with an additional meeting location in Fontana, we help clients throughout California with estate planning and prenuptial agreements.

My approach starts with listening. I want to understand what matters to you, explain your options in plain language, and help you make informed decisions that fit your life. You don’t need to know legal terminology or have everything figured out before we meet—and you should always feel comfortable asking questions.

Before starting my firm, I worked in nonprofit, government, and private practice settings. Those experiences shaped the practice I wanted to build: one where clients feel heard, receive candid advice, and have a friendly, dedicated team guiding them through each step.

Planning for the People You Love

As a mother of two daughters, I understand how personal planning for your family can feel. Estate planning means thinking about the people who depend on you, who you trust to help, and what you want the future to look like.

I help clients prepare trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and advance health care directives that reflect their wishes. We’ll talk through your family circumstances and priorities, including planning for children, choosing decision-makers, and coordinating how your assets will pass to your beneficiaries.

Starting Marriage with Clear Expectations

A prenup creates an opportunity to talk openly about finances and expectations before marriage. I help clients approach those conversations thoughtfully and understand the agreement they are signing.

My practice focuses on amicable prenuptial agreements, with attention to each client’s goals, questions, and long-term plans.

Guidance After a Loved One Passes Away

Handling a loved one’s affairs can feel overwhelming, especially while grieving. We assist trustees, executors, and family members with uncontested trust administration and probate, helping them understand their responsibilities and work through the necessary steps.

Whether the matter involves administering a trust or navigating probate court, we provide practical guidance and a clear path forward.

A Thoughtful Approach to Uncontested Divorce

I also assist clients with uncontested divorces and marital settlement agreements. My practice is suited to people who want to resolve their issues cooperatively and move forward with a clear agreement.

I help clients understand their options and document the terms of their settlement, with an emphasis on practical solutions and respectful communication.

My Background

I earned my bachelor’s degree in business, magna cum laude, from California State University, San Bernardino, and my Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law in San Diego.

My experience includes nonprofit, government, and private practice work in the United States and abroad. I have volunteered with the San Diego Volunteer Lawyer Program and the Legal Aid Society of San Diego, and received the State Bar of California’s Wiley W. Manuel Award for pro bono service.

My professional involvement has included the San Diego County Bar Association, North County Bar Association, State Bar of California Family Law Section, Probate Attorneys of San Diego, and Lawyers Club of San Diego.

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two daughters, practicing yoga, and traveling.

Team Members

We’re a small, close-knit team, and the relationships we’ve built with one another carry into the way we care for our clients.

From your first inquiry through the next steps in your matter, our team helps coordinate appointments, keeps documents and communications organized, and answers questions about the process. We want you to feel comfortable reaching out and supported along the way.

We’re also friends outside the office and enjoy traveling together—something you’ll see in the photos throughout this page.
