Best attorney

"I cannot express enough gratitude for Attorney Lorien. She guided me through one of the toughest battles of my life, and thanks to her expertise and dedication, I was able to have complete custody of my son. Lorien's professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support made all the difference for my ...family. With her help, we have found peace again. I highly recommend Lorien to anyone in need of a skilled and caring attorney." She’s simply the best, thank you Lorien.

High Conflict Divorce & Child Custody

My high-conflict Ex had Filed for Divorce just as the Pandemic started and we went on Lock-down. I had questions because I didn't know if I even needed a lawyer. Lorien answered all of my questions for me, and offered me direction, before she even agreed to represent me. She represented and stood by ...me during my almost three years long, High Conflict Divorce & Custody battle that included numerous false allegations, false accusations, multiple false CPS cases, Extreme Parental Alienation, and multiple Smear Campaigns by my ex. Lorien always knew what to do each time something new was hurled at me, and she helped me prove everything to be false, so that my children were returned to me, while helping navigate me through the most difficult, heart wrenching, and stressful time of my life; as well as restoring my character and reputation, in court. We had 7 full days of trial, as well as many, many Hearings. She had many witnesses and expert witnesses testify, always on pointe when questioning witnesses, and never backing down to opposing counsel and all their shenanigans. As a mother herself, she always has the best interest of the children at heart, and she really cares about her clients - you never feel like you're just a case. She stuck it out with me to the end, and continues to represent me, as things pop up with my ex. I am so grateful to have found her, and that she took my case knowing it would be a difficult one. I cannot say enough positive things about Lorien - she is the BEST! When things are High Conflict, you want Lorien fighting for you! THANK YOU!!!

Ms. Cole is very professional and caring

I used to hired another attorney who was recommended by someone I know for my custody case. That attorney threw my case to his associate without talking to me. And the associate attorney barely communicated with me and sent the decree that he drafted to my ex to sign without my approval. In the decre...e I only get to talk to my children 15 minutes a week while they stay with my ex. I fired that attorney immediately. I looked up online and found Ms. Cole. I was worried at the beginning because my ex was not an easy person. But after talking to Ms. Cole on the phone I decided to hire her. She was patient, caring and not afraid to fight. She handled my case so professionally, and the outcome was just as what I can expected. I get to talk to my children 5 days a week when they are with my ex and I can talk to them as long as they want. I highly recommend Ms. Cole.

I had a amazing experience with Lorien and her team. She is very professional and compassionate and while most attorneys look for ways to prolong the process, Lorien is focused on settling whenever possible. I would highly recommend her!

Best Family Law Attorney in Southern Nevada

Lorien represented me in a two year long family court case and never failed to return my call or answer my questions. My case was an extremely high conflict case filled with many false allegations made against me by the other party. Lorien not only helped me prove those allegations to be false but al...so guided me through one of the most difficult and stressful times of my life. I always felt heard and supported when voicing my concerns to Lorien. We ended up needing to take my case to trail, during trial Lorien was an absolute star, she brought in expert witnesses to testify and hit all the right notes when questioning witnesses. Our trial was an 11 day trial and during that time she never lost her drive or focus. She stuck it out with me to the very end never backing down to the opposing attorney. I can not say enough good things about this attorney. If you have a family law case in Southern Nevada, you will not find a better attorney! Thank you Lorien!
