Review of Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt

November 29, 2014 To whom it may concern: I have known Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt since March 2010, having asked her to handle my deceased mother’s trust and estate. During the past 40 years I have engaged three other attorneys to handle matters such as divorce, rental and business disputes. Ms.... Schmitt has been a breath of fresh air compared to any other representative. What immediately struck me was her integrity. Foremost she always takes the high road, the moral way, in resolving issues. And it is clear that she cares for her clients. She carefully explains and clarifies the possible approaches with expected likelihood of success or failure. With a set of choices provided and her professional leadership, most problems become small. Again, she never deviates from the law to achieve the expected results. She invests her time well which insures accuracy and efficiency, especially during court appearances which have always gone well. With her calming approach there is little anxiety. I highly recommend Ms. Schmitt for your next legal representative. Louise

commercial lease

I needed clarification on my commercial lease for my business. Even though Lorraine was too busy to take on new clients she took the time on the phone to help me figure out my situation free of charge.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
