Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Lorraine is an excellent attorney. She is organized, thorough and fights hard for her clients. She and I were adversaries in a case, but she treated me with courtesy in every phone call, letter and appearance. The case we had together ended in a trial so that I was able to witness first hand her flawless trial technique and confidence in the courtroom. She has the utmost respect from the bench and the bar. I happily give her name as a referral in cases that I cannot handle myself.
