Dirk Lorenzen a very valuable professional

Dirk Lorenzen is a great lawyer, and I highly recommend him. He shows a genuine concern for his clients, he treats his clients with care and understandinge, and he sees to it that the law is properly administered. He personifies a great lawyer. His commitment to high legal standards lifts him above a...ny sort of legal maneuvering from the other side. He was refreshingly able to listen deeply, hear, and deduce information when the situations called for it. He also displayed these same virtues in procedural dealings. He acted accordingly with confidence and alacrity, and was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend his very professional service.

THE BEST LAWYER IN SOUTH FLORIDA

Dirk came into our lives not only as a lawyer but also as a friend, he was the blessing my husband and I prayed for. He helped us removed a child molester from our property when I was 8 months pregnant. After seeing 4 lawyers he was the only one who was able to accomplish this. Dirk is a great lawyer... and an even better person. Through out the whole process he was caring and always showed concern for our safety.

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.
