Top notch, responsive, knowledgeable and so helpful
Lori was referred to us by our adoption attorney to assist us with some post-adoption issues with one of our kiddos involving DCFS and a series of DCFS investigations.

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 ...

Superior at what she does!
I contacted Attorney Lori Levin and gave her a few facts about my case. Without hesitation she went to bat for me. Attorney Levin won an appeal I thought was hopeless.

Family Support - A Lifesaver
In a contentious divorce families can get into regrettable conflict and false allegations can threaten to destroy relationships! Lori’s professional approach saved our family. Her work to help with our appeal and her relentless legal advocacy resulted in a reversal of a DCFS finding. I highly reco...
"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."
