In this case, it is "who you know".
Working with Lori was an absolute pleasure, which seems funny to say considering I contacted her because I was getting divorced. I explained my situation to Lori, as well as what I was looking for from her in terms of a referral to a divorce attorney. Lori asked me the necessary questions to help me get very clear in what I wanted. From there, she made the introduction via email with the attorney she thought would be best for me. After interviewing him, I agreed 100%. I’m happy to say that the divorce went smoothly and almost exactly as I had hoped. It's important to note that while there are plenty of people with great connections, Lori has an innate ability to really connect you with the right people. She has taken the time to really get to know everyone on her referral team, and also takes the necessary time with each client to find just the right fit. I wouldn't hesitate for a second in referring Lori to any one I know in search of an attorney. Or, to an attorney looking to grow their business, for that matter.

Clarity and Freedom to Take Action
Since meeting with the attorney and speaking with the credit counselor Lori recommended, I have a new sense of empowerment. My conversation with the attorney relieved the anxiety I had about my legal liability for a debt I am disputing and left me with a sense of clarity about my options. My conversation with the credit counselor got me in action restoring my credit. In addition to restoring my credit rating, since speaking with the credit counselor I have paid off one of my creditors in entirety. The interactions I have had with both of the professionals Lori put me in contact with have left me with a new sense of clarity and the freedom to take action. I am extremely appreciative of Lori for these recommendations. Lori is a true a legal resource.

When my elderly mom and I both needed to update our wills and trust documents, I asked Lori for help. She referred us to an excellent attorney who made thing really easy for mom by making a "house call." Lori's ability to match clients with the most appropriate attorney goes beyond specialties. She also pays attention to the "personal fit" and other factors. When matters of law come up in your life, Lori is the best referral source you'll ever find!

"Lori has real talent to help you build your law practice. She can show you how to maximize your use of social media and can arrange for you to connect with other professionals and clients. Her attention to detail and her follow-up are skills that she takes pride in. Referrals from Lori are excellent. My time is not wasted with a large volume of potential client connections with the "hope" that some of them actually retain my services. She sends people to me who she has screened to ensure that I am the right attorney for them. She introduces me to other professionals who themselves may become additional referral sources and to whom I can refer people with confidence. Everyone benefits through Lori's resources."
