Just trust her

For almost three years Lorena represented me in a custody battle that included a FAPA order. There is a lot of back and forth that happens throughout the years, and Lorena kept matters lawful and to the point. Her knowledge around domestic abuse, the law and keeping children first always kept me at e...ase. She is kind and well spoken. There is no doubt Lorena knows her stuff!! When it finally came down to going in front of the court, Lorena did not disappoint. Everything she had said throughout the years. What we worked towards. Came together masterfully when she spoke. Also, her legal assistant, Bre is lovely to work with. She is also helpful, knowledgeable and to the point. No one is wasting time or money at Reynolds Law Firm. It was an honor to have them on my side through an emotional-stressful time. I’ll forever be grateful.

Saved my soul

My Family Law case was more complex than average. I needed to look for new Counsel in the middle of my case. Lorena was a life saver when should took mine. She was compassionate, uber organized, and highly effective in the courtroom. She well outperformed my Ex's confident attorney. The settleme...nt was more than I could have hoped; allowing me to move to a more secure place to raise my kiddos. We have a wonderful life to look forward to. Reynold Law saved my soul.

I absolutely recommend Lorena

Lorena has helped me during two court appearances which were high conflict custody cases. She is an absolute bulldog of a lawyer who is going to direct you in order to build a solid case. She is very knowledgeable, and has her team bring up relevant evidence in order to support you. I have been very ...happy to have her represent me and will continue to seek her for legal advice, and representation.

Lorena Reynolds Review

Lorena Reynolds represented me in my custody case. It was complicated in that there was also a criminal case against the children’s father. Lorena worked tirelessly on the custody case all the while taking into account the pending criminal case. While representing me she always put the interest o...f the children first, which was so important to me. She was very patient with me and kept me informed about the workings of the case. When I was discouraged about the proceedings she gave me hope and helped me to see how the case was going to be resolved. Everyone at the Reynolds law firm that I worked with was so supportive and helpful. They gave me confidence that things would be resolved in a way that would favor the children and me. If you are looking for a compassionate, competent, professional, law firm that will tirelessly be your advocate, I would highly Lorena Reynolds and the Reynolds law firm.

Outstanding attorney

My wife and I have worked with Lorena Reynolds on two occasions, and found her to be extremely competent. She was clearly very knowledgeable of all relevant statutes, as well as being compassionate and sensitive to our concerns. I give her my highest recommendation.
