Truly Wonderful Attorney and Person

I had an out of state arrest but because of my Texas residency, I had to go to court again in San Antonio. I had already been through a horrible out of state process and the difference between that lawyer and Loraine were astounding. My other lawyer walked me through the process but offered little gu...idance, wasn't willing to take risks for me and wasn't receptive to my questions or concerns. On the other hand, I felt totally comfortable leaving my case in Loraine's hands. She had the experience, knowledge and skills to get my case entirely thrown out. With a long career, Loraine knows what works and who to talk to. Not only was she amazing in court, but she always responded to my calls and questions promptly. She understood how scared I was and handled my case flawlessly. The stress and time Loraine saved me is immeasurable. If you want your case to be handled by a professional who knows the courts, is respected by her colleagues and won't talk down to you, I can not offer a better recommendation than Loraine Efron.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
