Lori A. Buiteweg

From the moment I walked in Lori's office I knew she was the lawyer for me. I was going through one of the most stressful times of my life and she was not only an excellent attorney but a wonderful person. She was able to help me see through the fog and I always knew she had my and my daughter's best... interest at heart. She always went the extra mile to make sure things gone done that needed to be done. She was honest and informative and extremely knowledgable. I could not have gone through this divorce without her! It's nice to know there are such good people in the world who are also smart and practical.

When my son was just a very young child, he and his siblings were talking about their future occupations. They suggested that he might want to be a lawyer. He screamed out, "I don't want to be a ly-er", he thought they were suggesting he be a "liar". Although some may associate that for attorneys the...y are one and the same, I've found the integrity much different with the attorneys at Nichols, Sacks, Slank, Sendelbach & Buiteweg. I understand when God said, "He hates divorce". So do I!!! But when necessary, it is essential to have someone in court with you who understands how difficult, extreme, and exhaustive, going through divorce is. The toll divorce takes on you and your family is excruciating. Some may take divorce lightly, but I would never have divorced if it was not for the incessant, extremely severe abuse to my children and myself by their father and my husband. Lori demonstrated great dedication to my case and not only knew how difficult it was for me and my children, but took great pains to make it workable for me. She has passion not only for the law, but in making the law work for me. She has an understanding of the struggles not only of difficulties of a failed and abusive marriage, but has great concern for the effects of the divorce on your children and the implications of the law on them. Lori knows how to listen well, is an effective negotiator, and is very skilled at helping you walk through this dark valley. She is efficient with your time and although every second counts, she works toward making the process work toward your best good. So many times, Lori went well above and beyond in helping me through this process. I've sat across the table from some lawyers that I've wondered if they were simply in it for the $$, or if it made their day demeaning and chewing me to bits. His attorneys went to great lengths to question my integrity, and fought in ways that in my opinion were beneath the integrity of the court. Lori fights for you but does not demean your ex-spouse. She is sensitive and has a compassionate drive for truth and principle. She recognizes her accountability to you and to the specifics of your case. She is perceptive, sympathetic and helps keep you informed throughout the grueling process. Lori is a strong determined attorney, but does not hesitate to recognizes there is an ultimate Judge that will in the end make all things right. Having worked with more than one attorney of NSSSB in more than my particular case, I highly recommend their talent, tenacity and fortitude.
