Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt

Let's face it, lawyers have a bad reputation. For the majority it is well earned. I am please to have found someone that defies the negative stereotype. Lorraine is very conscientious on being responsive to the client. She is honest on time commitments or telling another attorney would be necessa...ry due to her current workload. I am honored to have her for my family attorney and recommend her to others for their legal needs. We need more like Lorraine in this profession.

We went to Lorraine for help updating my mother's will and health proxy/living will, and to obtain Power of Attorney over her affairs. Mother is well aware of her diminishing cognitive abilities and is easily embarrassed. But after three meetings and signing all the papers, Mother talked on and on ab...out how wonderful Lorraine was, so patient and willing to explain things in simple terms, and how comfortable she felt about the whole experience. Lorraine brings a wealth of experience to estate planning and, just as important, a great deal of tact and respect. She emphasized that Mother was her client, not us, which made my mother feel that she still had some control over her life. As an elderly person moving to an independent living community and about to give up her car, this was enormously important to my mother.
