With an extensive legal career that includes broad-based civil, criminal, and family law experience, Lauren has the unique distinction of having practiced in every division of the Berks County Court of Common Pleas. This background and experience have provided her with a comprehensive understanding of the judicial system that has prepared her to serve residents immediately.
A Career Defined by Dedication
Lauren Marks’ Legal Experience
Civil and Family Law cases make up a large portion of the county court’s workload, and Lauren is already entrusted by the court to handle many of these types of cases. Whether running her own law firm or serving as a court-appointed Guardian Ad Litem, she has a well-earned reputation for protecting children, defending our Constitutional Rights, and upholding the values of our community. She is poised to bring a conservative approach to the bench, emphasizing law and order and impartial and ethical decisions.
Lauren graduated from Penn State University before earning her law degree from Duquesne University Kline School of Law, where she was honored with the International Trial Advocacy Award. Prior to serving in the Berks County Public Defender’s office where she focused on criminal law and juvenile defendants with a goal of rehabilitation to help them become successful members of the community, she clerked for a county court judge handling criminal, civil, and juvenile court cases. Lauren also ran her own law firm before merging and becoming a partner at Palange, Endres, and Marks, PC where she works today.

REAL Testimonial
Endorsed by The People, Not Politicians!
“I went to court for 14 years. I feel like my children didn’t really have a voice until a Guardian ad Litem was assigned, and I’m so grateful that it was Lauren Marks. It was very comforting to know that my children could talk to this persona safely, and there was no pressure. Without Lauren Marks, who knows what would have happened.”

While Lauren is a hardworking member of the legal community, her greatest accomplishment is her family, who are also dedicated to Berks County.

He is an active member of the Berks County Emergency Response Team as a hostage negotiator and serves as an instructor at the Reading Police Academy.
Lauren and Chad have four children they are very proud of. Lauren’s stepdaughter, Alexis, is a student of nursing at the Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences. She is also an EMT for Western Berks Ambulance. Her stepson, Trevor, is a senior at Wilson High School and has recently been accepted to attend Duquesne University in the fall of 2025. Lauren and Chad’s children Wyatt and Teagan attend elementary school at Wilson. The family is actively involved in sports, including football, baseball, and cheerleading, and with the Home and School Association.
The family also has three rescue fur babies, Clover, Ranger and Delta.
