Aggressive towards her clients

Lorraine is very aggressive towards her clients and likes to work against them especially if she does not like you. She plays favoritism and is biased depending on the client. Lorraine has worked very hard to make sure my children don't come home and is best friends with the DCF attorney. Lorraine ha...s made it very clear that she works harder for the cases that pay her more which is considered financial discrimination. She has an issue with staying on topic, remembering facts and staying in one spot. She chooses to follow that laws she wants to follow and speaks down on you if you are educated or not. Unless she is getting paid well or privately for your case she will not fight for you.

Life Saver

Lorri and her team handled an extremely complicated, litigious and politically charged case for me, involving custody of a special needs child and DSS involvement, against an abusive husband who was very well connected. She prepared meticulously and fought and negotiated through very difficult five ...day court trial and dozens of court appearances. I trust her implicitly and am forever grateful for her help. There is no doubt that if she takes on your representation you will be well protected and comprehensively advised. She understood the big picture as well as all the crises which developed including restraining order violations. Feel free to contact me for further information if you wish.

FIERCE! LORRI WORKS FROM HER HEART!

Attorney Woodacre was a blessing from GOD! She fought for 2yrs and went above and beyond to the WIN/END! Attorney Woodacre is still willingly and diligently involved with seeing my case to a complete end. My children and I will forever be gratful for Attorney Woodacre and the way she valued my family... and encouraged me no matter what was thrown my way!

Does not instill much confidence

Ms. Woodacre seems scattered and ill equipped to handle the complexities of divorce/family law. Wasn’t a great listener, and increased rather than decreased the stress level of an already sanctimonious situation. It’s worth spending the money on better representation.

Quick response and thoughtful work

Because of my very limited resources my lawyer handled my post-divorce case of six years alone, opposing a team of two attorneys. Such pressure on him became impossible in the last year. We reached out to Lorri. She agreed to join, immediately started to study the case, assisted in brain-storming and... prepared a quality trial testimony. Lorri's amiable personality was also a positive factor.
