Lori Westhrin Clifford

After newborn baby had been taken by CPS, and the distress a father goes through when not married to the mother. Called several places and was told that Lori Clifford could handle this because the baby had already been taken by CPS. Called her and left a detailed message with return phone call numb...er, and NOT one call. My call was totally ignored. Yeah, really cares about helping. Couldn't even get the "free" consult.

I hired Lori to help me acquire custody of two orphans I've been helping raise. My case was complicated and she was a great listener. She gave me the BEST advice. I left over the moon happy and am excited that she was able to help me write a win-win agreement for all parties involved. She knows her s...tuff and is super down to earth. I'll use her for all family law matters in the future. She is highly recommended by other attorneys, specializes in adoption cases.

My experience with family law legal advice from Lori Clifford was excellent from beginning to end. Her secretary set up an appointment, and Ms Clifford analyzed all aspects of my marital dissolution situation with precision. I had researched Florida law and found her to be more knowledgeable than ...other attorneys I interviewed. I heard a radio ad for Ms Clifford which indicated she is a christian attorney. She kept her commitments and also provided resources for QDRO and other related matters.

Lori initially helped me handle a case dealing with child support issues I was having with my son's father. Initially Lori was in great contact with me, kept me informed, and I felt she was truly honest about what the outcome would be, not just saying what she thought I would want to hear. Then I ne...eded her representation again about a year later when he began to fail to pay support again. This time around I was told that I was sure to win if I jumped through certain hoops, which of course required a substancial retainer. After three months of having our hearing pushed back, and being reassured the ENTIRE TIME by Ms. Clifford that this was good because that elapsed time would show his failure to comply, my son's father wanted to settle. After months of jumping through hoops and racking up attorney's bills with Ms. Clifford she completely changed her story and started telling us how imperative it was to settle and that a judge would not find our issues to be a big problem and may very well side with the father. Had she been HONEST from the beginning and not just interested in making money off of me, a single mother on one income who was not getting child support hence the procedings, I would not have wasted litereally thousands of dollars to wait three months for nothing. She was not honest about our odds, and it felt as we progressed and grew frustrated with her lack of attention or importance to our case she became bored with us and did not prioritize our needs. I would not use her again.
