Lori did a great job helping my wife and I with a civil protection order. She not only won, but got us a protection order for 4 years on top of our year long temporary order. She was a rockstar in the court room. I couldn't have had a better experience. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, it will be Lori.

Lack of communication, rescheduling of court dates, delays in paperwork being filed were some of the problems that I dealt with. There was also another issue where it seems that he had a lack of knowledge of law pertaining to CCW permits. He advised me that a no contact order would

I can NOT say enough about Lori Cicero. She is a true advocate for the children and their well being. Lori is kind, takes time to listen and does her due diligence when fighting for you. She is also honest about expectations and will not over promise and under deliver. She has a fantastic staff to help when she is not available. You can not go wrong with Lori!!!!!
