sharp, competent, straightforward, caring, highly skilled

I hired Lorena to represent me in what turned out to be a high conflict divorce. The process dragged on for 2 years and throughout the ordeal Lorena was unfailingly skilled and insightful. She is especially good at thinking strategically about how to manage day to day developments. While I was dis...tracted by my immediate situation, Lorena was thinking months down the road to a long-term legal strategy. She never sugar-coats things but rather provides a clear portrait of your options and the likely consequences of each action. She has deep experience in family law, knows every nuance of the legal code and its applications, and can predict the court's application of the laws. In short, she's incredibly competent and hard working and her staff and office run like a well-oiled machine. On another level, Lorena cares deeply about families and especially about children. She provided valuable guidance about how to discuss complicated situations with my children and counseled me how to manage conflict with my ex husband in ways that protected my children. Finally, in the process of the divorce I learned that my ex-husband has a personality disorder. I read books about how to manage divorce from people with his particular psychological orientation and Lorena's advice (without knowing his diagnosis) was exactly what the psychological literature advised in order to protect me and my children. In other words, her experience and instinct translated into perfect advice and strategy for my situation even before I knew how complicated the divorce would be. I cannot recommender Lorena highly enough. She is an amazing attorney and on top of that a person of very high integrity.

Outstanding Law Office

I'm currently a client of Lorena. She has gone out of her way to seek justice on my behalf, to offer fair and sound legal advice, to make sure my needs are properly addressed by the legal system, and to make herself available to answering my humerus questions. I have found her work to be solid, prof...essional, and personable. I highly recommend her.

Tough, detail oriented, and wonderful to work with

My experience of Lorena as my lawyer has been that she is very warm and gets lots done with my time with her. She is very detailed and sharp and know her business! She has a warm and knowledgeable staff that she has do lots of things that can be done at a lower rate, but takes care of the important t...hings herself. She is tough, smart, personable as a rule, but not so much when it comes time to dig in and win for her client. I can't say enough good things about her.

Ethical and Committed

Lorena and her office staff were knowledgeable, thorough, professional and kind. I have complete faith and trust that Lorena would fight for my rights.

Thanks

Lorena is an amazing lawyer. She is nothing I expected as a “lawyer” because she was honest and up front about my case. From the beginning to the end, she was professional and very responsive about any emergencies that came along. She fought for me like she was family and that gave me safety in a ...case filled with turmoil. She is very experienced and knowledgeable about family law which helped me focus on the end goal. I always felt like I was her only client. She listened to my concerns and my own personal knowledge of the case. I am honored that she represented me and hope that more people have this experience with her. She is simply the very best because she brings honor, respect, professionalism, and focus to her clients.
