Lori, you are extraordinary!

To whoever reads this, I cannot tell you how much we appreciated Lori’s hard work and diligence in regards to our automobile accident. I am glad that we found her advertisement in the GSB book. It took time but I learned what it takes to get a case handled properly. Lori did an excellent job and God ...forbid there is ever another accident, Lori is our lawyer! She gets our deepest admiration and gratitude!

Awesome Attorney

I recently found it necessary to hire a lawyer to represent me when an employee of a major corporation injured me on purpose. I assumed that the company would issue an apology, cover my medical expenses and try to make it right. I gave the company every opportunity to work it out and they wouldn’t ...even return my calls. Then I found Lori Haskell. She believed in me, comforted me and fought (like a pit bull) for me. She worked day and night on my case and was always available to me within hours (if not immediately) when I called. I knew that I had made the right decision to hire her when we got all the way to Arbitration and the company didn’t even want to cover my medical expenses. They were immediately invited to leave Lori’s office (and they were not allowed to pet her little dog Jack Spero either) which I loved! We went to court where we arrived at a settlement. I highly recommend Lori Haskell and her little dog too.

WARRIOR

I had a great experience with Lori Haskell as my attorney. She is absolutely wonderful. She walks side by side with her clients and is tenacious. I had a case against the police that other attorneys would not take. Lori not only took the case, she took it all the way through trial. After a 2 week t...rial the jury awarded me $250,000. When the police appealed, Lori handled the appeal and did a wonderful job. She met with me and spent a lot of time patiently getting me prepared for the trial. Watching her in action in a courtroom was an experience I’ll never forget. She was awesome! Lori kept me calm and grounded. She was prepared, articulate and visualized for the jury exactly what had occurred. Through their verdict, the jury obviously agreed. If you need a warrior to handle your case, give you personal attention and get a great result then this is the lawyer to hire. I would highly recommend her for any case!

Lori Haskell is the genuine protector & warrior for her client's best chances and outcomes!!

Ms. Haskell surpassed all of my expectations in an attorney. Her business, Haskell for Justice, says it all. I work with numerous attorneys. I know without a doubt she launched the best, most effective battle on my behalf from the beginning to the resolution approximately three years later. Her c...ommitment was unwavering even when I would become frustrated and disheartened. Her keen understanding of the insurance company and their attorneys' tactics kept them from manipulating the situation and losing my rightful compensation. While the other side would not follow good standards of practice, she maintained an ethical and tactical strategy. She is intelligent, empathetic, trustworthy and tenacious! She is conscientious to get the maximum settlement to help her clients have their best possible future. She was frugal with expenses appropriately managing funds throughout the process. She is upfront and clear allowing us (her clients) to live our lives and focus on healing and fulfilling our daily responsibilities. I could go on for pages sharing all the amazing help, guidance and "warrior-energy" she took on for my benefit. My family is indebted to her for all her efforts and commitment! Professionally and personally, I will refer my friends and patients to her completely trusting her abilities to do right by them and their needs. I encourage anyone reading this review to choose her as their protector and warrior! SHE IS THE BEST!!!

Fantastic Trial Lawyer!

Lori was my attorney for a difficult case. While stopped at a red light a commercial truck drove into my Honda. In addition to back/muscle pain I had a closed head injury. For two months I could not work, had mild aphasia (some loss of words), could not comprehend the newspaper when I tried to read. ...I played children's board games with my twelve year old to retrain my cognitive functions. It took three lessons to relearn how to use an ATM. Despite 5 inches of medical records the insurance carrier for the truck refused to pay even the medical bills! Lori was so professional in a five day trial. She had excellent exhibits and charts. She explained a closed head injury to the jury in a simple way and then backed it up with a sophisticated explaination by a neurologist. She was great with the jury. She kept me calm. We won a just verdict from the jury. I will forever have gratitude to Lori as my warrior and advocate. You would be fortunate to have her as your attorney.
