Fantastic Divorce Lawyer

Loren came highly recommended by several people I trusted and I went to her for much needed divorce help, after a horrible experience with another lawyer who couldn't get anything right or fight for me. I want to emphasize how amazing Loren was during my very messy divorce. During this painful proce...ss, she not only provided a lot of legal advice, but she helped me stay calm. Loren sensitively discussed my options and made me feel like I was in the highly capable hands of a trusted friend. All of my questions were answered, and my phone calls and emails were responded to promptly. I always felt I had someone fighting hard for me and my children. The depth of her knowledge in family law and working expertise of the Bergen County legal system provided confidence; which reduced my stress, for a successful outcome of my case. One of the things I admire most is that Loren practices law with vision, passion, compassion and integrity. She navigated me through a difficult divorce while exercising professionalism, brilliant insights and the utmost integrity. I highly recommend her.

Great attorney!!!

Probably one of, if not the best family/divorce attorney around. She came recommended to me by 3 people who were represented by her. Ms. LaForge from day one took the time to understand my situation and from that day on had the best interest at heart for my divorce. She took an unmeasured interest... in the wellbeing of my 2 children, which I have custody of. She is very knowledgeable and on top of all the latest court decisions making her arguments in court that much stronger against the adversary. She is caring but tough and does not pull any punches. She will be honest with you even if it is not the answer you are looking for. She responds to all your calls/texts promptly and will give you the time needed to thoroughly explain the entire process. It also should be noted that her staff is amazing as well. You will quickly realize that you have a team behind you giving you the full support needed during a very tough time in your life. Stop searching now and call her office immediately You will not be disappointed.

A Child's Advocate

Loren handled post divorce custody matters with my ex who resided out of state. She was always a strong, yet sensitive advocate for my child, who fought hard to keep my child's best interest the top priority. She is an excellent and clear communicator in person, in court, and in mediation. Her aggr...essive approach resulted in positive solutions for my child. Her advice was always personable, realistic, reasonable, and very professional. I will always be thankful for her services and strongly recommend them to anyone in similar circumstance.

The best you could find...

Loren is a highly knowledgeable attorney in her field. She represented me in some post divorce proceedings. Loren was very honest and upfront on what would make me successful in the court room. She did her best to settle issues outside the courtroom. She was efficient, concise and successful. She... looked out for the best for myself and my children. She handled my case as if I was her only client and that means a lot when you are placing your entire future in the hands of another attorney. Loren fought for myself and my children as if we were part of her family. I highly recommend Loren. She is an amazing, honest, extremely knowledgeable attorney.

Honest Attorney

I used Loren for post-divorce issues when I relocated to Bergen County. Loren is honest and straightforward when reviewing your case. In the courtroom, she is tough and will not back down. Whenever I contacted Loren, either Loren or her office staff responded promptly.
