Worst experience with Loriann Owens

If I could give zero stars I would, because we had absolutely the worst experience with Ms. Owens. What should have been a very easy case for us to recover our damages turned into a long dragged out nightmare due to her lack of communication with us or opposing counsel, she cancelled depositions at t...he last minute after we had arranged to take time off from work, failed to inform of us important court dates, and even failed to appear at a court date where we were left to address the judge by ourselves. I believe we would have been much better off representing ourselves in small claims court.

Edited update: I did not leave you to fend for yourselves in court, you agreed to a settlement, refused to sign, wasted the court's time for refusing to sign and allowing me to dismiss, and then hired a new attorney who claimed to represent you. You then contacted my insurance company attempting to force them to accept your own claim. Your attorney demanded I offer you "a 5 figure" number, which made for a good laugh, only to come back later with a nominal request, despite my adamant refusal to subject myself to a shakedown. I am sorry you feel this way. Communication is a top priority at our firm, and we are unaware of any failure to adequately communicate with our clients. Please note, an outcome with which a client is not happy is not equivalent to poor performance, as each matter is unique and there are no guaranteed final outcomes in the litigation process. While lay persons may feel a case is “very easy”, they often lack the legal expertise and experience to make such a determination, which is often why they seek representation. While I cannot speak to your individual experience with our firm, we do appreciate your feedback as we strive to meet the needs of every client.

Experienced, respected, committed. Lori is your silver bullet.

I retained Lori for a complicated mess of a case. She took me on, reviewed the evidence, and met me after hours and on a weekend to build a solid strategy. She's experienced, respected by judges and her peers and fully committed to ensuring the best possible outcome. She's aggressive but professio...nal. She dug into every hole for critical evidence that aligned with our strategy and won. She has never left me hanging or wondering how we will complete the task. The person who recommended her to me knew both Lori and the attorney the opposing party later retained. He recommended Lori as his first choice for me and, months into the process, it's clear to me why. She's a step ahead, appropriately aggressive and committed to my case. She gives it everything she's got and that's exactly what I need. My family and I are lucky to have her. Moving forward she's committed to sticking with us until we solve the underlying issue. That's a win for all of us. Her support is life changing.

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.

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.
