I can't say enough great things about Lorin Blum. He and his office helped me through the worst time of my life--my divorce. Lorin is tough, no-nonsense and quite honest (he put me in my place regarding expectations), but still has a warm and compassionate side. In retrospect, I imagine that through his 30+ years of experience, he has had to sit through thousands of agonizing tales from people in the throes of despair and anger, yet he continues to listen and understand that we all must go through the grieving process. His reputation speaks for itself. As I embarked upon my search for a good attorney who could stand up to my very forceful and savvy ex, at least 6 different sources offered his name as one who could handle the challenge. My case was extremely complicated financially, and Lorin proved he could manage it from the start. And, yes, he did with finesse! Needless to say, I'm quite happy with my settlement. Not only is Lorin amazing, but his office is also. They are a complete team. Everyone in the office knew about my case and went out of their way to help me whenever I called or stopped by. One of the most impressive things about the office was how well they worked together. When one person in the office couldn't answer my question, s/he would seek others' counsel. If that proved unsatisfactory, outside sources were consulted. Since my divorce, I have talked with numerous people who have sought Lorin's counsel. All have been impressed and incredibly satisfied. Divorce is a horrible experience--one I had never anticipated. During that awful time in my life, the one source of peace I had was the confidence in knowing that I was in good hands. I knew that Lorin was looking out for me, and since I wasn't up to the fight, he would handle it for me. And, he did. While the divorce is over and things have settled down for the most part, small issues have still arisen. I continue to call Lorin; he continues to help. I trust him and am extremely grateful to him, and will continue to be.

Lorin Blum is the best lawyer ever! I went through a "War of the Roses" type divorce. From the day one it was a battle. Lorin was able to steer me through the pitfalls. His number one concern was always what was in my best interest and what would be best for my children. He did everything he could to make it easier, faster and tried all he could to keep expenses down. Lorin always tried to find innovative ways of compromise to keep things moving. He became my friend as well as my lawyer.

Although Lorin is a well known and long tenured divorce attorney, he has clearly lost his passion for representing his clients. I hired Lorin for a fairly sraightforward divorce matter and I was shocked at how unresponsive, inattentive, and disinterested he was to my legal needs. My case got to a satisfactory ending only because my ex-spouse and I elected to resolve our issues without litigating. In spite of this, the case dragged on many months since Lorin dragged his feet. Don't hire this man!
