Lorrie J. Zahodnic

I needed legal representation on short notice, just a day before a crucial hearing. Fortunately, I contacted Lorrie Zahodnic, who promptly responded to my call and provided invaluable guidance during our afternoon conversation. She thoroughly prepared me for the upcoming proceedings, outlining what t...o anticipate. On the day of the hearing, Lorrie demonstrated exceptional dedication by arriving early, engaging in further discussion to ensure my understanding, and offering additional insights. Notably, she went above and beyond her duties by promptly intervening when I faced harassment from an individual involved in the case, effectively diffusing the situation. During the courtroom proceedings, Lorrie displayed a strong command of the law and adeptly represented my interests, resulting in outcomes that surpassed my expectations. Despite the challenging circumstances, I am grateful for the outstanding representation provided. Moreover, Lorrie exhibited genuine care and compassion by offering post-hearing support and guidance, which I deeply appreciated. Her professionalism, expertise, and personal touch made a significant difference in my experience, and I am thankful for her exceptional service.

RUN!!! I would not recommend Lorrie. Read all reviews on as many websites as possible. I am not into dirty politics. I just wanted a smooth custody case resolution for back child support and missed visitation. Lorrie didn’t handle this or get the proper message across which should of been handled in ...1 court appearance that it was all scheduled for cut and dry. She was supposed to fix my previous lawyers mistake which he would of showed up and handled for free but she insisted she would do it and she didn’t fix it because her message was scattered and not clear in court. She was more interested in calling the other party out which is childish and a waste of time. I don’t have time for games and nonsense. I could of handled this myself. I was not willing to drag out my case and fight like children so I worked things out myself and saved myself thousands of dollars by calling the court and getting the correct child support balance added to my case. I let Lorrie know in August 2021 right after that court date she represented me for that I didn’t need her anymore. She represented me 1 time in court. I was not impressed because the 2 things that I was there for didn’t get corrected or resolved in a manner that was appropriate. After fired, Lorrie continued charging and scheduling a court dates and replying to the court on my behalf. She even tried to change a court date to appease her schedule, trying to force her services on me. It is now November and hiring Lorrie for 1 court appearance has turned into 4 months of nothing but aggravation and wasted money. She is still harassing me with emails and her automated text messages. Let’s hope this time next year I’m not still being contacted. Charges- Lorrie scheduled a court date to withdraw from my case so that she could charge me more money instead of just filing the form to withdraw. Half of my $3500 retainer was used to organize my file which I could of done myself. She charged me to request paperwork from the court that I already had. She treated her assistant shitty in my presence which was a big red flag. She tried to charge me for a duplicate report that she entered the incorrect birthday for, I let her know that I wouldn’t be paying for her mistakes. Personal Note- I don’t think she has very many clients and for good reason, read the reviews. I’ve asked this office to stop contacting me and while I was in the hospital fighting a bad Covid infection for over a month, she continued to email me, harass, text me multiple times even after I asked not to be contacted anymore so that I could rest and recover. She clearly has way too much time on her hands and no clients to work for.

I hired lorrie thinking she could do me some good. Big mistake. I explained to her that my Ex wife was having an affair and left with some guy and took my children away and I hadn’t seen or talk to them in 5 yrs. i had no contact at all and no address. I found her because she purchased a home in Mich...igan with her new husband. Totally threw me as the father out the pictured. Lorrie wasted a whole year of doing nothing and charged me every opportunity she could. She drained me out of a lot of money with no results. When confronted about the whole situation about how she was representing me, she said get over it, she left with another guy and there’s nothing that will happen because she’s a woman. I had to hire another lawyer to try and fix her mess up from day one. She’s horrible, ignorant, and has a bad attitude. No one hire her she will drain you and you will end up with no results and broke. THE WORST!!!!

I contacted her for legal advice on my out of state child support case. She was loud and rude from the moment she picked up the phone and was belittling me the entire call. Told me that I could lose custody of my child because I don’t know how the system works, which is why I was looking for a lawyer... in the first place. She then told me that it would be a 3500 retainer and it was plainly obvious that she was trying to scare me into hiring her. Don’t recommend hiring such a rude, manipulative and belligerent lawyer.

I typically do not go out of my way to review a service, product or employee. However, after my experience with a different Law Firm, I had no choice but to come back here and make it a point to let everyone know about the very strong and knowledgeable attorney that was reccommeded to me. You really ...do only get one chance to research an Attorney, once you sign that contract, you are stuck. It happened to me. Take my honest and trustworthy advice when I tell you to look no further! You found a great Attorney right here and here's why: I was in disarray when my College Professor recommended I needed legal assistance. The next day he brought me in his Attorney's contact information: Lorie Zahodnic, Attorney at Law!! Lorie and her kind and efficient Legal Secretary, Diane, have got to be the most kindest and most patient people I've ever met! They truley were a God send! Aside from our legal business at hand, both Attorney Zahodnic and her Paralegal Assistant Diane, spent such a significant amt. of time with me, not only educating me about my rights, they also helped me on my own self esteem! They helped open my eyes, how not to let people or the system get one over on me and they also pointed out from their own experiences on how not to be an enabler, as I didn't even realize I was doing! They made me see that my children and I were deserving of what we were owed and not to feel bad about making my children's father pay child support. They helped me keep my vulnerable heart out of the entire divorce process and all the while, they worked with me big time on the retainer fee and all the other little court costs and fees you wouldn't think of. They never once made me feel awkward or uncomfortable about my circumstances involving my ex husband and my financial hardship.
