“It has been a lifelong dream of mine and my families to start a wine business, but once we started filling out paperwork, we quickly discovered we were in over our heads. I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of meeting Lauren Tyson in 2013. Her patience, guidance, and knowledge was instrumental in assisting us with obtaining the necessary paperwork for our license. Through her thoroughness, we were able to obtain our ABC license without any issues. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone seeking assistance with their ABC need!”
–Samano Family Cellars
“For nearly 30 years, Lauren Tyson was one of our star employees at the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)… . I could always trust her to manage any project with enthusiasm, professionalism and integrity. Her most notable accomplishment … was developing and managing the Licensee Education on Alcohol and Drugs (LEAD) Program, a voluntary responsible beverage service (RBS) training program—and one of ABC’s most important programs ever… . Her combined knowledge of liquor licensing, compliance, and responsible beverage service is unique. This, along with her commitment to quality, makes her an invaluable expert to guide prevention or remediation efforts for all types of licensed establishments. Without a doubt, licensed businesses anywhere can turn to Lauren with confidence.”

“… you have been a great support to our work and I always counted on you.”
–George Vasquez, Beverage Consulting Network, Inc.
“Prior to opening her own shop, Lauren Tyson spent nearly three decades working for the California Department of ABC, educating and training licensed establishments just like yours. All of Lauren’s clients will benefit tremendously from her subject matter expertise, contacts and organizational skills. Several years ago, I had the great pleasure of working with Lauren on five, law-enforcement training videos for ABC. These were designed specifically for street-level officers, and distributed to police and sheriff stations throughout the state of California. Working with Lauren was the most enjoyable professional experience I’ve ever had, and allowed me to witness her amazing skill set first-hand. Rest assured, you’ve chosen the right advisor.”
–Jeffrey S. Betts, Producer/Director

“Lauren … you have strengthened ABC’s linkages to prevention in many ways over the years and it has always been a great pleasure to work with you …”

“I tried unsuccessfully to obtain a simple wine and beer license for two or three years before finding the Liquor License Advisor. Lauren got it done for us. She has the experience, knowledge and skills to help you get it done, too.”
D. Wright, The Springs at Borrego RV Resort & Golf Course
“Lauren was informative and efficient, communicating clearly each step of the way. She was truly a pleasure to work with as she took the load off our team and made a daunting process smoother than we thought possible.”
