Lori Maryl Dorman

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.

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.

Hired Lori after a referral from another attorney, to handle estate/trust concerns. Very dissatisfied with her non-professionalism, lack of urgency, very egotistical demeanor - doesn't listen to concerns or answer questions. Definitely had her own agenda, seeking to work out deals with opposing party... that we did not seek or want to pursue, which she charged heavily for. Several thousand dollars paid and nothing resolved. Hourly fees much higher than others, as found out upon seeking new representation. I would not recommend!

I first met Lori when she was "on the other side of the table." My husband turned to me and said "this is someone we need on our side!" As the busy owner of a medium-sized business Lori has been a tremendous ally. She is my go-to person for contracts, collections, etc. I truly sleep better with L...ori as my attorney. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and aggressive!!

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.
