Divorce and Separation 30%

I have been practicing primarily in family court in Manatee County for more than 20 years.

37 years | 500 cases

30%
Child Support 20%

I represent parents in all types of family court cases (divorce, child custody, etc.) where child support is an issue, as well as cases involving child support only. For several years, I reprented custodians through the Department of Revenue Child Support Enforcement Program.

37 years | 800 cases

20%
Child Abuse 15%

From 1997 through 2008, I devoted a significant part of my practice to representing parents who have lost custody of their children to the state (dependency court), averaging an open case load of 100 cases. During that time, I held a contract to represent indigent parents against the Safe Childrens Coalition (Department of Children and Families). I continue to accept clients in juvenile court on a private fee basis. I also represent grandparents seeking placement and/or visitation rights

32 years | 900 cases

15%
Child Custody 15%

It is always hoped that custody matters can be resolved by agreement. However, I have been actively involved in custody litigation (in addition to divorce litigation) throughout my career. This includes grandparent or third party custody.

37 years | 500 cases

15%
Landlord or Tenant 10%

Throughout my career, I have represented both landlords and tenants in residental evictions. When representing landlords, most evictions can be handled on a flat fee basis.

Mediation 10%

I became certified in Family Mediation in 2008 and am building my mediation practice. As an attorney, I have been representing parties in family mediations for over 20 years.

Helped ease my mind… Impressed!

I met with Linda for a consultation regarding a dependency case. Linda immediately made me feel comfortable and she listened. She understood what I was going through, where I was coming from, and had knowledge and experience to go along with a great personality that made me laugh too. She gave me sol...id legal advice, but also common sense mom to mom advice which I appreciate. The consultation fee was reasonable and she spent over an hour with me which I didn’t expect. I felt she was real, honest and took pride in helping people and knowing the law. I know who I would recommend or hire myself if I needed a family or dependency attorney.

A Godsend!

I had fought the court system in Florida for 10 years and 10 months to remove my daughter from a harmful environment. The judges refused to grant me custody because I was in the Army and that is "unstable". My daughters mother is drug addicted and has no home but was considered stable. I had a ver...y hard time even though it seemed I was the best choice. Mrs. Lorrier took my difficult case and helped me more than I could have asked for. To me she did not look at me as a client or for a business end, she looked at me as a father and she truly cared. I could not have asked for a more caring and dedicated lawyer and I can say I consider her family now. She devoted time and love into getting my family whole and keeping my daughter safe. If you feel no one cares and you have no options, you must speak with Mrs. Lorrier before you accept defeat.

Accurate, Honest & Fair

I hired Ms. Lorrier as my counsel for my divorce with two minor children. It was a long process with an aggressive lawyer who made every negotiation an epic battle. I feel Linda did an outstanding job in every aspect of the horrible process of dissolution. The fact that you are in a highly emotiona...l state and stressed to the breaking point, you need someone you can trust to navigate the complex issues that will probably effect the remainder of your life. Linda did exactly that in a compassionate, considerate manner as a total professional.

REVIEW

Charged 3,000.00 because she said she works hard for her clients however she was very unethical by talking to my Daughters ex boyfriend who is my granddaughter's father who has not paid child support in 9 months. She was supposed to file papers for support to be taken out of his employment witch he... agreed to. However the paper work was messed up. My daughter went to court herself and thank God they helped her and also said the papers filed by Mrs. Lorrier were flawed.
