Exceptional Adoption Process

I thought our adoption process would take longer than it did. My now husband is adopting my 3 boys from a previous relationship. But thanks to Lori and her great work and experience everything was done quickly. She is their every step of the way, answers all your questions, keeps you updated. I would... highly recommend Lori.

Surprise! It’s a bouncing preteen!

We used Lori for our non relative, non DHS, adoption. I normally handle everything myself. I’m not one to wait around. It was so nice to have someone advocate legally for us. Having her there to answer my millions of legal and procedural questions helped ease my mom worries. Lori was very quick to re...spond to my emails. She was quick to find out answers at the courthouse when I needed answers. Our adoption was a stressful time, and ever evolving but Lori walked us through it and always outlined our options. I shopped around. Lori’s costs were reasonable for the work she did. She was transparent with her fees, and didn’t nickel and dime me. At the end of the day, I felt comfortable with her. I felt that I could trust her to problem solve, to be honest, and take care of my adoption.

Ivory’s new parents

Lori was very prompt every step of the way in our adoption of Ivory. She answered every question we had with kindness and would not move forward without mowing we understood. She is caring, compassionate and very professional. We definitely would invite anyone needing legal help to call Lori Jenkins.... You’ll be glad you did.

How I see my attorney as a friend.

If there is a more competent and understanding divorce attorney out there; I like to know who he/she is? From the moment that I contacted her office in late 2014 early 2015 until now, every time I have contacted her regarding my case Lori has been there for me. I recall in summer of 2018, I reached ...out to her regarding my case ( a new problem had occurred that it needed her attention ) and even though she was in Italy on vacation, she took care of it immediately. I think she was the one attorney I needed to get me through my divorce and I thank my lucky stars. It's not everyday that you meet an attorney that has everything in one package. Lori has a very sharp legal mind, a great understanding of our legal system, a very calm demeanor that helped me greatly during some of my darkest times of my life. There is an expression that says "good things happens to good people" well, in this case Lori was the good thing that happened to me in the form of an excellent attorney. Just recently during this pandemic I reach out to her regarding my case again and she was there in person at her office to meet me and take care of my needs. One more note I should mention, during my separation and divorce I had very little money, she did not request a large retainer knowing that I could not meet that request. Even now that I am going through some tough financial times, she is understanding and willing to give time to fulfill my obligations. If my notes does not portray a total human being in a form of attorney then I must go back to school and learn how to describe people. All I can say is THANK YOU
