Women To Watch: Lauren M. Moreno

MDFAWL Board of Director

Practice Area

Business and commercial litigation.

A case, matter, or project you're especially proud of.  

I tried my first jury trial in January 2026 and examined a witness. 

Who has been a mentor or role model in your career, and what did you learn from them?  

Judge Heloiza Correa has been a role model for me. Her ability to juggle being a litigator, mother, business owner, MDFAWL committee chair, and run a successful judicial campaign was so inspiring. I have also looked up to Melissa Roca Shaw, a fellow law school alumna, and admired her ability to command the courtroom as an AUSA (my dream job!).

What does being part of this community of women lawyers mean to you?   

Being part of this community of women lawyers means being surrounded by a network of talented, accomplished, and supportive professionals who understand both the opportunities and challenges women face in our profession. It is a space where we can learn from one another, share experiences, celebrate successes, and offer encouragement during difficult moments.

One word your colleagues would use to describe you.

Dedicated.

If you weren't practicing law, what would you be doing?  

Driving the school bus that picks up dogs and takes them to doggy daycare!

A quote or motto you live by.
