Lauren Schmidt-Dipaola, Member of Harris Law Firm

Professional Experience

I first became interested in the practice of law during my undergraduate study of political science. I experienced the court system first hand while working as a Verification Specialist in Washington County by assisting criminal defendants obtain court-appointed counsel. During law school I clerked for the Marion County District Attorney’s Office and managed a criminal case load on their domestic violence team. I later clerked at a small private firm in Gresham, Oregon focusing on all areas of family law in Multnomah and Clackamas counties. I appeared in court numerous times as a certified law clerk and feel comfortable in the courtroom.

Personal

I was born and raised in Hillsboro, Oregon and attended Glencoe High School. During my free time I enjoy traveling, playing slow pitch softball, watching the Oregon State Beavers, and spending time with family and friends.
