Lorrie J. Zahodnic

I was at a point of losing my children to the Macomb County Friend of the Court guidelines for a non-custodial parent. I hired Lorrie very late in the process of my divorce. She clearly explained what could be done and proved that it could. I was only seeking joint custody as I know my children love ...their mother. I need my children in my life more than ever and was not trying to take their mother out of the equation. All through this painful process, my children always came first for me. Although I am now a part of a failed marriage and divorced for life, thanks to Lorrie, I don't have to be a part of not raising my children in a healthy environment. Thanks to Lorrie, I now have joint custody and our children are very well adjusted to the situation. I can only imagine what life would be like if I had not found Lorrie. She is very well educated as to the procedures for the court. I remember the first day in court she came out from a "discussion" red faced like she had just won a boxing match. I believe she actually did, although I didn't check for scars on her knuckles. She approached me and in the calmest voice and explained what was going to happen. And it did!!! What happens on the record in court is only a part of what actually happens in the courthouse. There are backrooms where all the battles are won and lost. Lorrie is a winner and I am so happy to have had her on my team! Even when an issue comes up regarding our recent divorce, and they do, I only have to mention Lorrie's name to my ex and things get resolved very quickly. I am amazed at what she was able to do for me during our case and her reputation continues to do for me still to this day. I have no doubt in my mind if I had not found Lorrie, my children would have had a much different future than they now can have. Thank you Lorrie! And to the professionalism that your staff. :-)
