Job well done
Lori successfully appealed my case with DCFS. I was a victim of domestic battery and was charged with child neglect for going to the police station in a dire situation while my kids were asleep. Lori gathered all of the evidence from Cop cams, interviews, etc. and poignantly presented my case to the ...

Helped me out of a bogus charge against me
Assisted cutting red tape and navigating a problem with DCFS. Retainer and invoices were very reasonable. Thank you Lori for your help!

Caring, Professional Miracle Worker
Lori took on our case when no one else was willing to fight false accusations made by DCPS! She pays attention to the details, is extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond keeping us up to date and explaining all the options. She listens! Her rates are very reasonable and it’s clear that he...

She helped us win our case
We found Lori a pleasure to deal with. We hired her for a dcfs case. We were overwhelmed and confused as to how to navigate the whole legal and dcfs system as this is not something we knew anything about. We also were concerned about legal fees piling up as our case dragged on for a year. Lori worked...

I got my life back because of Lori
I am a middle-class Caucasian woman who never dreamed I’d be defending myself against DCFS. It happened and it was as bad as you can imagine. I love, protect, advocate, worry about and take very special care of my children. I would never harm my children because they mean everything to me. From t...
"I have known Lori Levin for many years and am familiar with her work, having referred cases to her. Lori is the absolute "go to" lawyer for DCFS investigations & administrative hearings. I know what it is like to go up against slow-moving, bureaucratic state agencies that issue arbitrary and damaging findings of fact or conduct unfair investigations. Attorneys who do that kind of work need two things: an aggressive nature (not willing to sit back and let the case happen according to the agency's timetable) and a deep understanding of the nuances in the administrative code and regulations that the agency must follow. Without both, you'll be overwhelmed and your clients will suffer. Lori has the perfect combination of these qualities - she knows the rules backwards and forwards and will use everything at her disposal to fight for her clients. I know when I refer a case to Lori that the client is in the best hands. I strongly recommend her for all criminal defense and DCFS work."
