The bomb!!!!

As Ben, her husband and our criminal attorney, was fighting for our son’s exoneration, Lori was providing us with her expertise about our sons RPO (Risk Protection Order). With our sons legal matter published on search engines, Lori also fought to protect him from being exposed to the outside world. ...She had the courts seal his records and remove the RPO. Something that was very important to us. Her expertise and knowledge in education also helped us relocate Josh to a new school. Lori had such Lori and Ben are the dynamic duo.
