Lorraine Moynihan Schmitt

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.

I have used Lorraine as my lawyer for my businesses and she always has done a great job both in formation and business transactions. I had a tragic life event happen to me and Lorraine was there for me all the way through this event. I came to realize she really cares about her clients and is passio...nate about what she does. Lorraine listens, advises and then puts her all into fighting for whats right for you. I'm so glad I have her on and at my side. I would highly recommend Lorraine !

Over several years, my wife and I had 2 separate and very difficult lawsuits to deal with that lasted a long time. and as demanding as we were, and even when we had unrealistic expectations, Ms Schmitt always validated our feelings and made us feel secure and hopeful. With her integrity we succeeded ...to the highest degree that was possible for those type of cases, while still feeling very ethical and accomplishing the results by only fully honest means. Ms Schmitt was always a real pleasure to engage with; no matter how we were feeling on any given day, good or bad, we never ever felt like we were being judged by her and she was never dismissive or arrogant. You relax around her and feel good about yourself - that is because of her personality. Ms Schmitt knew much more about law than us, yet made us feel that our input was valuable and always listened patiently. She is a very humble person but an aggressive and persistent and threatening lawyer to the opposition, and is truly compassionate and kind to her clients without ever putting on an act.
