Lauren Kelly Gielarowski

Adjunct Professor of Law

Lauren Kelly Gielarowski concentrates her practice in representing individuals in all areas of personal injury, with a particular emphasis in medical malpractice cases at the law firm of Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George, P.C. Lauren began her career at a large, international law firm where she practiced in the area of financial services litigation and handled class actions and shareholder derivative lawsuits. Thereafter, and prior to joining LGKG, Lauren was a partner in a national law firm where she represented a wide array of healthcare providers in both Pennsylvania and West Virginia, including nationally-recognized hospitals and community hospitals, as well as nursing homes, physicians, and registered nurses.

After several years as a defense attorney, Lauren’s passion to advocate for injured individuals led her to LGKG. Lauren’s experience on the defense side of medical malpractice cases uniquely situates her to see the other side of the coin, appreciate how her adversaries operate, and more effectively represent her clients with both understanding and compassion.


Lauren was born in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania and attended the University of Pittsburgh for undergraduate and law school. During law school, Lauren served as a judicial intern for the Honorable Debra M. Todd, Chief Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and was a legal writing teaching assistant for Professor Nancy Burkoff.

Lauren currently lives in downtown Pittsburgh. On the weekends, you can find her trying new restaurants and enjoying the city with her husband, Mike. Lauren is a member of the Founders Board of the Children’s Trust of Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. The Trust supports innovative research and programs at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and provides volunteer opportunities and services to serve the more than one million children and their families who visit Children’s Hospital for care. Lauren has also been involved with the Syrian American Medical Society Foundation (“SAMS Foundation”), which funds the medical needs of civilian victims of the war in Syria, and also assists Syrian refugees with resettlement in the United States and elsewhere.
