Lori endeavors to provide the best customer service possible by remaining helpful and responsive to her clients’ needs.
She is skillful at digging into and discovering information that can be useful when framing a client’s case. Lori loves to watch the case strategy evolve and provides information that pieces together the factual puzzle. Some of those facts, such as what’s found in social media investigations, can be very instrumental in bringing the case to an early resolution.
When she’s not working, Lori usually spends time with her husband and family – at the lake, at various sporting events, listening to music and dancing, or just hanging out playing cards and talking. If the weather isn’t cooperating, you might find her curled up with a book or binge-watching her latest Netflix fave.
