Lorin Blum - Excellent Lawyer

Lorin Blum did a superb job of representing me in my dissolution. Lorin understands that the goal is to bring the process to conclusion sooner rather than later. He understands how to negotiate realistic settlements and prefers to do so where possible, but is highly capable of litigating if the oth...er side is unreasonable. Faced with false accusations of theft, Lorin skillfully presented evidence of my innocence to the Court, effectively discrediting my ex-wife's CPA. The result was extremely favorable and led to a settlement and an end to the process. Lorin has excellent experienced partners who also know their way around the courtroom. As an attorney myself, I know that a good lawyer must master the facts as well as the law and know how to use them to get the other side to reach an acceptable settlement. A settlement is always desirable because the client knows the result, but if a settlement is not immediately available, it is good to have a lawyer who knows his way around the courtroom.

Outstanding, Trustworthy and Compassionate

Lorin has represented me on a very complex and difficult divorce. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He provided me with a fantastic blue print for success and guided me the entire way for over two years. He was always available and responsive. A trusted confidant, Lorin put my inte...rests first. He was very unselfish and worked with me to get the most value for the money spent. On a few occasions he suggested I not pursue my whim as it would waste my precious family resources. Lorin is highly respected in the legal community. His reputation of fairness and putting families first is a tremendous strength in any legal proceeding. Lorin is a rare find and I highly recommend him to any family.
