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.
