I can to Lorraine because my business partner and I were at each other's throats. Lorraine sat down with me and really helped me understand the important issues at play in my case. She guided me through a very ugly situation and helped me focus on moving forward. She saved my business and I count her as a trusted advisor. I recommend her to all my friends and clients- with Lorraine on your side you know you will come out on top!

I have never met someone so dedicated to her clients. I retained Lorraine the Saturday before I had an emergency custody hearing as a friend referred her to me. She met with me that Saturday and spent the ENTIRE day going over the case with me. Come Monday morning, Lorraine fought for me and I won my case!!! I cannot sing her praises enough. She is outstanding, compassionate, and my attorney for life.

I found Lorraine through a mutual friend who had recommended her as someone who would get the job done. That recommendation did not let me down. For almost two years, two different judges and numerous times where I wanted to give up the fight, she kept me in the ring, she kept me going and she fought for what was right, it was almost as if she took my case as personal as I did, and we won. She is a great communicator, always on time to meetings, kept me in the loop about everything and is just an all-around great person. I am fortunate enough to come out of my case with a FIERCE attorney by my side, my children and a new friend. This women is a force to be reckoned with in court, and I would recommend her to everyone and anyone, hands down. Thank you for everything.

My husband had abandoned myself and our two children. I had been referred to other attorneys that looked at me and immediately turned me away. What made Lorraine unique was the fact that even though I couldnt pay the full retainer she helped me. She worked diligently and made me feel whole again. She fought for me and my children and I will always consider her a member of my family!

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.
