Look no further

Lori did an incredible job handling our case in litigation. From the onset, she demonstrated aggressive advocacy and meticulous strategic thinking. Throughout the process, she was highly communicative, kept us informed every step of the way, and explained the complicated details within the case thoro...ughly. Sharp, fearless, and deeply competent, we highly recommend her services for estate litigation.

No Words to express how amazing she is!

I had the pleasure of working with Lori Dorman at the beginning of 2020. When I met Lori at her office, she was quick to review the documents I brought in, and immediately began making calls. She wasted no time in getting answers and results. She got further in five minutes than I was able to get ...in five months. She took control of my case, and successfully produced an outcome even I could not have anticipated. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She knows what she's doing!!!

Keen and Personable

I first met Lori on recommendation from a colleague nearly ten years ago. The circumstances at that time were such that she was unable to assist with my desired outcome of an employment contract situation. However, having already sized up a good sense of her astute knowledge of employment law and e...mpathetic presence, five years later on when I was in a better position to move forward in my career dreams she was the first individual I turned to. She has since provided me and my company with numerous consultations, defense support, and other personal legal services. Lori has always been keenly aware of or quickly done the research to inform herself of the legal statutes, interpretations, and precedents at stake; and if not her area of expertise, made this known and referred me to other highly qualified individuals. Over time we developed a strong mutual respect and have made a number of cross-referrals for our respective areas of expertise. This is one lawyer you would be proud to call yours.

When Loosing is not an option

Having risked everything we had to start a company that I was terminated from, I felt that my whole world come crashing down. That was until Lori met with my wife and I and explained that we had a right to what we had sacrificed so much to build... even though we had no written agreement. Three weeks... later we regained almost all of what we were due and was able to move on with our lives. With her help we have been able to BENIFIT from what was originally thought to be a life shattering event. Thank you!!

Excellent Attorney

Lori is an excellent attorney. She has represented our business in several litigations as well as advising us in many areas of our business over the past 20 years. Additionally, she has helped with several personal legal matters. She has been immensely helpful to us. I am certain that she has ...been responsible the the favorable outcomes achieved. I recommend her without reservation and would be happy to speak with anyone with questions concerning Lori's work as an attorney for us.
