Relationship: Co-worker
Lorraine is the consummate trial lawyer, whether in Domestic and Family Law, Business Litigation, Personal Injury or any matter that brings her into the courtroom. She is always prepared and ready to represent her clients to the highest level of the profession. She knows the law, the facts of her case and controls the courtroom like few other attorneys that I have seen. She always has the respect of the Judges and the opposing attorneys. I have been a lawyer for over 20 years and Lorraine is the only person that I ever considered to be a worthy partner in the practice of law.
