difficult divorce

I have been through a difficult divorce process that was dragged out for years since we were going back and forth. Attorney Cole helped me and made it happen. She put up with my ex who was harassing her with emails and text messages. I am grateful that she has got this done and also very happy abou...t the correct pricing and detailed invoice: I wasn't over charged ever. She worked hard on my case. I give her 5 stars!!!

Worth every penny!

My ex-husband reopened our child support case in September 2020. After my prior attorney had a family emeergency, in June 2021 I hired Lorien on the recommendation of attorney I work closely with at my job. My case took another full year to be completed, but Lorien was absolutely incredible that ent...ire time. She worked all hours of the day and was always quick with her responses. I truly felt like she was invested in my case. The outcome of my case was FAR better than I could have ever imagined all thanks to Lorien's diligence and skill. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Above and Beyond

After hiring the Willick Law Group, Lorien Cole was the attorney assigned to work on my case. She immediately struck me as someone who would help me understand both the merits of my case and how to handle the psychological pressure of my divorce. Despite my prenuptial agreement, I was being sued and ...told that my prenuptial agreement would not stand by my ex-wife's counsel. Lorien did not agree. She helped me by being my sounding board, finding answers, providing perspective, and helping me complete the financial disclosure forms. At times, I pulled all-nighters helping to provide my responses to motions filed against me, and Lorien was always available to alleviate the tedium. When we received the outcome I wanted in my divorce, she was especially helpful in listening to my cathartic reaction. I was lucky to have a great lawyer who gave me sage advice and truly cared about me and my divorce outcome.

Super Lawyer

I hired Lorien Cole and the Willick Law Group after having previously worked with two other law firms in Las Vegas. What I immediately noticed about Ms. Cole was her professionalism and her deep commitment to my case. She has a thorough understanding of the law and she works tirelessly to get the b...est results for her clients. Ms. Cole deftly handled my very difficult divorce case, which included complicated custody issues, from start to finish. I ultimately ended up with a result that was better than I had expected. As a practicing lawyer of more than 20 years, I can confidently say that Ms. Cole is among the top tier of lawyers I have encountered and I highly recommend her.

End your search. This IS the right lawyer for you to hire.

I didn’t think it would be possible for anyone to make divorce a more enjoyable experience, but Lorien Cole specializes in the impossible. Not only is she an intelligent and highly professional attorney, but possesses a warmth and integrity that many professionals in this field lack. Lorien works to ...preserve as much as possible the family relationship during the most difficult transition a family has to go through. Of important note is the high level of finance acumen she maintains, a trait severely lacking in many family law attorneys in this town. Her undergrad background is in finance and she has a sound and capable grasp of financial issues. Something you’re rarely told to look for in a family law attorney but it is a skill that can be as important as their legal savvy.
