Licensed in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.
Lori graduated from Fauquier High School in Warrenton, Virginia before striking out on her own at the age of sixteen. She was awarded a B.A. from Rutgers College in New Brunswick, NJ and a J.D. from Rutgers University School of Law in Newark, NJ, where she was a New Jersey Bell Scholar at Rutgers College and a Phillip J. Levin Scholar at Rutgers Law School, based upon her academic ability and potential capacity for public service through law.
During and immediately after law school, Lori became familiar with the inner workings of the courts. She was first a judicial legal intern to the Honorable Maryanne Trump Barry, Judge, United States District Court. Then, she became the judicial law clerk to the Honorable Murry D. Brochin, Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey.
Lori began practicing law in 1988 as an associate at the firm of Greenberg, Dauber & Epstein in Newark, New Jersey, where she worked on complex commercial litigation matters, primarily in the federal courts. She joined Pitney, Hardin, Kipp & Szuch (now Day, Pitney) in Florham Park, New Jersey as an associate attorney in late 1989. During these early years of practice, Lori developed and honed her litigation skills working on a variety of complex civil, criminal, and commercial matters. Lori opened her own practice after the birth of her son in 1996, specializing in criminal defense, family law, divorce, child custody and support issues. She started The Law Office of Lori A. Michaud, P.C. on the premise that family is important and she keeps this importance in mind with each and every client she represents.
After relocating to Virginia Beach, VA in 2004 to be closer to her own family, Lori continues to offer real answers to real questions that are as unique as the people that ask them. She takes pride that she isn’t just an attorney -- she is a counselor at law -- helping clients to take appropriate steps to succeed in their matters and to the manage the impact of their matters on their lives. She provides the personal and individual attention each and every client deserves!
Lori believes in being accessible to you from the start of your case to the finish. You will not have to fight through a swarm of legal assistants when you walk through her doors. You will be able to get the answers you need when you need them.
In her spare time, Lori enjoys cooking, skiing, biking, swimming, traveling, photography and relaxing with her family, friends and her golden retriever mix.

She went beyond my expectations. She knew my situation and was very patient with me and because of her, I finally feel safe again. She took the time to get to know me, and made me feel like I was not alone. If i ever needed help again, I would definitely choose her again! I would not have been able ...

By the time I retained Lori, she had less than a week to prepare my case. Despite this, she collected and scoured through an entire year of documentation to have my case ready to go. She was supportive and kind during a very difficult process (getting a protective order against my husband), gave soun...

Lori represented me after the first guy I hired turned out to be worthless. Her and Hoflaw made sure to calm all my fears by explaining the entire process to me. She helped me feel confident with all the decisions I had to make. Her calm but direct demeanor was exactly what I needed at the time. She ...

I booked- paid for a consultation. She told me WITHOUT ever looking at my papers she DOUBTED there would be any objections to the interrogatory because the lawyer that wrote them was “ so great”. She was condescending, told me I couldn’t afford her and, that I needed therapy! I told her that due t...

At a time when I felt terrified, totally alone and like my world was falling apart, Ms. Michaud came to my rescue. She not only answered my questions, but more importantly asked me questions I hadn't thought of and couldn't think straight enough to think of at the time. She didn't rush me, but made m...
"Lori Michaud is a tenacious advocate for her clients and an experienced and excellent litigator. I have worked as the opposing counsel against her on several matters and while I do not welcome the opportunity to oppose her in court, I do believe she is a very fair and reasonable attorney who is willing to negotiate a fair result for her client if in the client's economic and legal interest. I highly endorse this lawyer without reservation."
"I endorse Lori Michaud. I have represented clients where Lori represented their husband. Lori was always well prepared and an excellent advocate for her clients."
