Great Representation

My family has been working with Lorraine for years! She is professional, patient, knowledgeable and was very accessible. She helped make our challenging work easier. Thank you!

Posted by John | February 13, 2012 | Lawsuits & Disputes

patient, persevered and stayed positive in 2 difficult and long-lasting cases

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.

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.
