Posted by Chelo | March 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Best Attorney ever!

I'm not even sure where to begin our interactions with Lorien as our attorney. I guess I could start when we hired her for a visitation case so my Neice I raise could get to see her two little brothers. Lorien took on a case that had a lot of complicated twists to it and she always kept a positive o...utlook on things and was very honest. At times it looked like things wouldn't go our way but because of Lorien, it did. We then turned around and hired her again for an immigration for my husband. This is where I really knew we scored gold having her on our side. You see immigration isn't easy, as a US citizen I often felt defeated during this process but Lorien never gave up and did everything she could to find resources and people who could help the case along. I can never thank her enough for all that she did for our family to be where we are today.

Top Notch Lawyer

Lorien represented me in both a guardianship and a child support case. She successfully argued my cases and I was overjoyed by the outcome. Lorien is knowledgeable about the family court system and kept me informed throughout the process, she returned emails and phone calls very quickly and I always ...feel that she dealt with my issues promptly. The staff in law office is courteous, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Lorien for all your family court needs.

Best attorney hands down

My ex and his attorney totally bullied me and my previous attorney. I watched my attorney get nervous and back down and in turn I got screwed over in my divorce. We had our divorce decree but then we began fighting over the court order. I couldn't take it anymore and ended up searching around for ano...ther attorney and ended up hiring Lorien Cole. She was AMAZING!!! The moment I hired her she was all action. Viewing court tapes and reviewing transcripts and the best part was watching my ex and his attorney back down for the first time (after being bullied) for months. Lorien took so much burden from my shoulders. She is smart, professional, and she's a fighter. If only I had found her sooner...I truly believe that you get what you pay for and she was COMPLETELY worth it. 100% recommended
