Will forever go with Lori

I hired Lori and Brock almost immediately after speaking with them concerning my custody case. She has an amazing work ethic and drive to make her clients feel welcomed, supported, and heard. I would absolutely recommend Lori as an attorney for any services she provides.

Lori Palmintier

Lori Palmintier is the bomb diggity! I didn't know what to expect when I first went to see her. She is so down to earth, very friendly, really easy to talk to, she listened to my case and didn't judge. She was compassionate, honest, helpful, assertive, made me feel at ease throughout the whole pro...cess especially since this was my first time ever needing a lawyer in my life. She got me even better than awesome results! Can't thank her and her entire firm enough for all of their help throughout this whole process. I would most definitely hire her again if ever needed! Like I said earlier, Lori Palmintier is the bomb diggity!!!

Transparent, Swift, & Knowledge

The sheriff’s office served me with papers a week after my incident. The hearing was set for a little over a week later. I met with Lori, Beau, & Emily a day or so after I was served and hired them on the spot. They worked quickly and throughly on my matter. They defended me zealously and communicate...d transparently with me throughout the entirety of my stressful situation. Lori went above and beyond to ensure I received the best possible outcome in my case, which I did. Lori, Beau & Emily are down to earth, real people who can relate and empathize with their clients. I cannot thank Lori and her team enough for helping me through my situation.

Great Service and an Outstanding Resolution

I contacted Lori regarding a Reckless Operation citation. Lori was able to expound on the particulars of the law and walked me through the entire process with clear and precise explanations. She described what actions she would take and what was required on my part, particularly with regards to doc...umentation. Follow up communication was both prompt and clear, and was greatly appreciated, particularly as I do not reside in Louisiana. Ultimately, within a week, she was able to get the Reckless Operation dismissed and the speeding citation amended to a non-moving violation that would neither appear on my driving record nor affect my insurance. I was also able to avoid having to appear in court; this was particularly welcome as I reside out of sate. While I certainly hope to never utilize Lori's expertise again, I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

Lori is there to get you the best outcome that you WANT

I hired Beau Brock in September 2019, and after Lori joined the firm, Beau and Lori jointly handled my case. Lori was with me every step of the way as we worked to get an early termination of probation in a felony offense, and we knew from the outset that both the State and the Department of Probatio...n and Parole would go to court and oppose the motion for early termination. Still, Lori did EVERYTHING in her power to not only talk and walk me and my family through it all, but she went miles and miles out of her way to present the best argument to the court as to why my probation should be terminated early. She was ALWAYS available by phone, text, and email, and I never felt like she was "giving me the runaround." She gave it to me straight forward, and even though it was her professional opinion that the State and Probation and Parole's objections would be HUGE mountains to overcome, she never once suggested that we don't pursue this or backed down because she knew that this was what I wanted. I was ready to get this momentary lapse in judgement behind me, and she went to bat for me. We spent several hours in her office going over every scenario, every contingency, every likelihood, and she assured me that she would do her very best to move heaven and earth to get me what I wanted. And...she did. When she got up to the plate, she hit a grand slam out of the park. She threw that touchdown pass with 3 seconds left on the clock to win the game, and she did it all with poise, determination, and professionalism. I would HIGHLY recommend Lori Palmintier to anyone who may find themselves in a situation needing a criminal defense attorney. While I wish I never would have met her, or any other criminal defense attorney for that matter, I am so very happy that Lori Palmintier was the one that went to bat for me.
