I am experienced in helping guide you through life's transitions. I understand that that divorce affects you, your family, extended family, friends and the relationships between them all. Our goal is to transition families in such a way that you can maintain healthy and functioning relationships with the people that mater most. There are many alternative dispute methods and most situations can be settled at or before mediation. Please see our website or call my office for more information.

The Absolute Best

I was recommended to Lori by a family member who had worked with her in the past. Extremely conscientious and her attention to detail was fantastic! Lorie was like a protective mother, always looking out and making sure everything was properly handled.

One of the best!

During this difficult time, Lori was not only a professional offering legal advice, she was a compassionate and kind human being. Having no knowledge in this area, she took the time to explain things thoroughly and guide me through the process. This experience was life-changing and I will forever b...e grateful to her and her team!

Expertise and Caring

After experiences that left me dissatisfied with other family law professionals, I found Lori through recommendations from two different people who know her personally and professionally. She was a breath of fresh air. She listened and understood my concerns, and quickly drove to the heart of the m...atter, offering expert guidance. I consult Lori now on all new questions and matters related to my agreement and parenting plan. I only wish I found her sooner.

Highly Recommended

Lori and her team (Tim, Megan...) are amazing! They were always there for me. We cheered together on every advancement, and now I am happily divorced.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Lori is an aggressive yet reasonable attorney. She takes the time to understand what is most important to her client and then she attempts to negotiate a settlement that is a win-win for both parties. I have worked with Lori, as opposing counsel, on several cases and her handling of the cases have been professional and thorough. Furthermore, she is always timely and courteous in her communications with our office. She is a great advocate for her clients."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I met Lori a number of years ago as Opposing Counsel in a case we had together. She was professional, thoughtful, responsible, and easy to work with. The issues in our case were emotional and difficult; we were able to reach a successful resolution and kept the family out of the courtroom. I have referred many clients to her since then and will continue to do so."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
