The businesses of Bayside have a beautiful way of quietly becoming pillars of the community, and @ce_family_law is exactly that — a firm with over 30 years of history, now led by two women who chose family law not for the accolades, but for the purpose. Sanaz and Lauren bring a combined 40 years of experience and a shared belief that a true win isn’t about beating the other side — it’s about helping families find peace and move forward with dignity.
How long have you been in business?
CE Family Law was originally established over 30 years ago by David and Tony. Lauren became a Director in 2022, followed by Sanaz in 2023. Between them, Lauren and Sanaz bring over 20 years of experience each, and David more than 35 years.
What inspired you to choose family law?
Sanaz: I started out in other areas of law, but they felt too transactional. Family law gave me a deeper sense of purpose—it’s more personal, more impactful. Seeing a client come through a tough time and find peace is incredibly rewarding.
Lauren: I went straight into family law because I wanted to help people. It’s about guiding families through difficult situations and helping them move forward in the most respectful, constructive way possible.
What is your business ‘magic’ that sets you apart?
We’re very collaborative and outcome-focused. For us, a “win” isn’t about beating the other side—it’s about achieving resolution without unnecessary cost or conflict. We work creatively and compassionately to help families stay out of court where possible and involve other trusted professionals as part of a supportive team. We genuinely care about our clients and the long-term outcomes they walk away with.
What does community mean to you?
Community is what sets Bayside apart from a big-city law firm. It’s local, it’s personal, and it matters. We live and work in this community, and we’re proud to be 100% family law specialists supporting local families through life’s biggest challenges.
Are there any local gem’s you would like to shout out?
