Lauren Dentone joins Legal Aid of Southeastern PA board

WEST CHESTER, PA (Jan. 30, 2020) – Lauren Dentone, an attorney and partner with the law firm Gawthrop Greenwood, PC, has joined the Legal Aid Southeastern PA (LASP) Board of Directors.

“LASP is excited to have Lauren Dentone join our Board,” said Shawn Boehringer, LASP Executive Director. “Lauren has served the public interest in a variety of positions with the Chester County D.A. and Solicitor and as volunteer for Home of the Sparrow working to prevent homelessness for women. Lauren’s work has given her an appreciation for the experience for the clients served by LASP. We look forward to benefiting from her energy, expertise, and ideas.”

Dentone focuses her law practice on criminal defense, family law and litigation. She draws from her work as Solicitor for the Chester County Department of Children, Youth & Families, as well as more than 10 years of trial experience both prosecuting and defending criminal cases that became increasingly family related. Such cases included domestic violence, protection from abuse orders, driving under the influence, drug possession, violent weapon offenses, assaults, property crimes and homicide offenses.

She is also experienced in employment matters and assists clients with any potential implications to current or future employment due to a criminal charge.

Dentone is a member of the Chester County Bar Association, the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry, and the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, where she serves on the Rules Committee. She also volunteers with the Home of the Sparrow.
