I am sure Ms. Stojni is the right lawyer for some people, but if you are looking for a compassionate lawyer to help navigate your way through a separation she is not the person. She has very little patience or empathy. When I finally did have her office draft a letter to my ex with a date we wanted documents provided her law clerk put the date a year later than it should have been (therefore giving them 1 year and 2 weeks, rather than 2 weeks). Certainly doesn't communicate the urgency of the situation, and I was the only one who caught the error. I hated when I had to speak with her and avoided it at all cost. It was very much a blessing in disguise when she terminated our relationship (because I did not take her advice).

She is always in a rush, does not listen well as if she had ADHD or OCD., very loud and her assistant is sloppy. She only cares about the money you give her and are billed for every single email, even if the emails are duplicate. It seems she takes advantage of clients since they do not know the law themselves. I would not advise anyone to retain her as their legal counsel. Please find someone else then her. I wish I had read all these ratings before I hired her.

Do not ever hire her. Her words and actions doesn't match. Seems she is paid by the other party. May be she is. I hope she gets audited.

It is true that Lorrie is tenacious, when it comes to arguing her worth with the client. She also saves you money by off loading onto her juniors. The work was so poor that I was credited back what one lawyer did and another one then did a slightly less poor job on it. I fired the firm and moved on. I had to keep correcting the lawyers on errors in the documents they created. It was not work the money spent on their services.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT hire Lorrie Stojni. I cant even begin to list all the horrible things and advice she gave. An absolute disgrace. She even fought with the judge, and I swear the judge was getting ready to throw her out of the court. She doesnt care about the client AT ALL. She started saying I would settle financial issues, when I clearly said I was firm on certain things (like back dated child support). Not only did she cost me 10,000 for a fairly simple case, the stress she has caused me will forever be remembered. There have got to be better lawyers out there. Dont even think about this one.

Agreed to take my case and indicated a reasonable timeframe for completion upon initial consultation. I had to constantly reach out to check on the status of my matter as virtually nothing was done to move things forward despite being billed heavily for "paperwork". After several months and no movement, she ultimately determined she was too busy to work on my file. DO NOT waste your time or money.

Must be working for other side lawyer. Didn't want to listen. Didnt read all facts in file about my ex, had her own judgement how I should parent. Her judgement not reality for split parents. No negotiation on my behalf, the person who who is paying her. Her assistant is amazing and should be the lawyer. Asked for phone call on schedule date to discuss my concerns, she didn't know why I was calling. She should have been prepared. Dragged my case on, I had to initiate the steps to move forward.

Don't waste your time and money on her. She is a pitbull who doesn't truly advocate.

Just terrible!! Quick to take your retainer, no follow or results. Don't hear back from. YOU will have to follow up and then she will tell you she's too busy. Would never recommend this lawyer!

Horrible, horrible experience with Lorrie! Her ego is so huge! She does not listen or empathize with her clients. She seems more money driven than client driven. She rushes you and is more eager to move on to her next appointment. Please do not retain this so called lawyer. Highly disappointed!

Lorrie is so busy she barely spends any time with you. Positive is that it costs you less since her assistants do all the work. Bad is that she cuts corners and can cost you the case (as was in my case). She doesn't like being questioned or provide very much insight. So a lot of stress if you are the kind of person who likes the facts before they make decisions. She didn't know the law as well; she suggested not doing the OCL analysis indicating high costs when that is not the case. She also doesn't get along with Towlson so if your ex has that lawyer stay away from Lorrie. Cause it just adds to the drama.

If you want an extremely highly priced court navigator, maybe this person can help. If you want a lawyer, look elsewhere.

You are just a billable at Giffen... Overcharging firm. I was charged for every nanosecond despite the poor communication and/or ignoring. My matter was wrought with lack of clarity. The approach was emotionally driven at times where decision making flip flopped. Meeting demeanor was controlling and 'short' and phone calls were unproductive, and even abusive in the end - after thousands of dollars spend. Never again.

I am shocked to see the bad reviews for Lorrie. I am pretty sure these are disgruntled client or other lawyers who wrote these reviews. Lorrie took me on after I went through months of frustration and challenges with the other lawyer who had taken over my case but was not interested in moving it along. Within a month of taking me on, Lorrie settled my child custody and support case. She could not have been more selfless, ethical and resourceful. Lorrie went over and beyond to settle the case and not waste my and the courts time and resources. She was duly prepared and has excellent knowledge of family law. She pressed for a resolution instead of further litigation against my ex husband's lawyers advice. The outcome is fair and in best interest of my child. I strongly recommend Lorrie to anyone looking for an ethical lawyer who works in the best interest of their clients.

She is very busy and most of the time not available. Most of the work is completed by her assistants in non professional ways and you have to pay for that. Charges for assistants are almost the same as of expensive lawyer in the town.

This lawyer was terrible. She didn't listen to me - seemed too preoccupied with her own affairs. Was late for appointments, yet charged me if I arrived late. I was going through an emotional crisis and in tears in her office and she was checking out her manicure. I found a new lawyer. When you charge those types of rates you should be able to at least PRETEND to care.

She overcharges and bills for even the most minute things. She is never available and is very moody. Her first priority is making money even if that means causing more trouble for the real people who are effected by the divorce. Her fake smile and loud manner says it all. She is too narrow minded to be effective. It's her way or the highway. Beware!
