Thanks to Lori Dorman

Atty. Dorman represented our family through a nasty trust/estate dispute. Her knowledge of the laws and regulations regarding trusts/estates is excellent. All of her advice was right on target and her negotiation skills were exemplary. Lori doesn't sugar coat anything - she tells it like it is. R...egarding her fee schedule, you get what you pay for. I received top notch service and would highly recommend her for legal counsel.

Well prepared and very professional!

Lori was very knowledgeable, very prepared, and very realistic in the cases that she represented us in. Her realistic approach, courage and strength, brought us quick and satisfactory solutions. I would highly recommend her.

Lori Dorman, ESQ is a SUPERIOR / EXCELLENT Attorney !!!!!

I have had the pleasure of using Lori Dorman's legal services for the last 20 years. Lori is ALWAYS easily accessible, professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I find Lori to be very insightful and EVERY time I've used her services she's been right on target with her advice and I'm extremely hap...py to say that with her on my side my outcomes have always been positive. I also feel that her fees are quite reasonable compared to other attorneys in the marketplace. Let's face it....no one looks forward to legal interactions. With Lori Dorman on my team my level of confidence is ALWAYS very high and this clearly takes a ton of stress out of any legal process.

The Epitome of Professionalism, Grace and Results!

Lori has advised me on many medical professional and real estate issues over the past 10 years. I am always in awe of her ability to put things into perspective and guide me towards the best possible outcome. In real estate issues, she has protected me with her vast knowledge. She has pointed out ...flaws in employment contracts that have allowed me out of less than desirable employment situations. She has mentored me though business relationships with difficult people. Lori has a unique ability to know when and how to fight and when and how to walk away. I always find myself asking, "What would Lori do?" Thank you Lori, for being you!!

EXCELLENT

I've known Lori for over 10 years. She has helped me with real estate transactions, business planning and execution, as well as estate matters. Lori is intelligent, organized, and works hard for her clients. She keeps a cool head while striving towards the desired end. She is well respected in this c...ommunity and works well with others. I would strongly recommend Lori for legal counsel.

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.
