Lori Maryl Dorman

I have had the pleasure of working with Lori on two separate trust litigation matters and found her to be very responsive and knowledgeable around the issues at hand. She was very thoughtful in her approach and worked well with opposing counsel. In both situations, the opposing clients were very di...fficult to work with and Lori always maintained a professional demeanor. Without hesitation, I would recommend her.

Lori was hired to represent a matter involving the distribution of a trust. The marital trust provided income for life to a surving spouse, a second spouse, and at her death, the trust was to distribute to a number of charities. The spouse was not granted any power of appointment over the trust; ho...wever she attempted to exercise such a power of appointment through her will. What should have been a simple matter to resolve truned very unpleasant. Lori prepared a Petition to Construe the Trust and prepared for the litigation to follow. Lori's detailed and timely communications with us and the charitable beneficiaries were excellent. Lori's advocavy for us as a client was exceptional and challenging given the incompetence of the counsel representing the deceased spouse. The trust prevailed.

I worked with Lori for the first time 16 years ago for a real estate dispute. She was honest, practical, and effective. Since then I have hired her for estate planning and again for real estate issues. She has always followed through with her plan of action, always with success. With her open, friend...ly art, she definitely takes the pain out of dealing with legal issues.

Lori Dorman may be small in stature, but she is a heavy weight in the legal arena. As owners of multiple commercial shopping centers, we have been fortunate to have the legal counsel & support of Lori Dorman for over 10 years. In all that time, she has never lost a fight. From late notices, evicti...ons, lease amendments/revisions & lease enforcement to serious lawsuits involving on-site accidents or tenants filing suit, she has handled the 'simple to the serious' with the same level of dedication, boldness, professionalism, timeliness, & communication that makes her a winner every time. We are also indeed, 'winners' with her in our corner, and would highly recommend her services to anyone facing any kind of legal battle.
