Sharp, efficient advocate
Lori was referred to me by another attorney who highly recommended her as someone well respected in the legal community. I had a DCFS investigation in which I had no idea how to fight. Lori was very quick to take over, plan thoroughly a strategy and do all the investigative and proposal work making ...

Honest, trustworthy and efficient!
Last year I was wrongly accused of abusing a child by a co worker. As a teacher, this is one of the worst things that can happen. DCFS came out and investigated, spoke with me, students and other teachers. But then I heard nothing. I was totally devastated and worried that I would lose my teachin...

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."
