Life gets messy… who do you call to come and help clean up that mess is completely up to you. I am a competitor in life. There is never an instance where I don’t want to win. I would never go into a courtroom without an attorney who feels the same way. Lori Clark Viviano and her amazing legal team are litigating warriors and are the only reasonable option for people who want to win. I was in a terrible place when LCV took my case. I was a single father who had just been falsely accused of domestic violence. LCV disproved the claims against me and increased my time share over what the mediator requested by 25%. All while my child was 16 months old. Needless to say she is very thorough and investigates all the facts. Don’t be on the receiving end of LCV’s butt kicking. It’s actually pretty embarrassing how opposing counsel has no comment in response to her words. Thanks Lori Clark Viviano and associates, I now get to spend the rest of my life with my little guy.

Lori Viviano is the best! My divorce was deadlocked and going nowhere with my previous attorney, and my legal bills were piling up. In no time Lori managed to figure out the few remaining issues and come with a plan. She engaged the lawyer representing my ex-​wife and was able to work out a settlement that we could both live with. I was thrilled to end years of spousal support payments. My ex-​wife even thanked Lori resolving our case. If you are going through a divorce and it feels like you are not getting anywhere you should consider calling this lawyer.

«Move away cases are not easy!!» That is what every single attorney told me, I had one attorney yell at me and tell me I was making a poor decision and I am wasting my time because a move away is impossible. Lori, was upfront from day 1, yes, a move away is hard, but it wasn’t impossible. My first meeting with Lori had me feeling confident, and after thinking my husband and I decided on her. BEST DECISION EVER. Lori and her office are amazing, easy contact, and quick reply. Lori is smart, and she was always following up, making sure ALL details were correct.
After months and evaluations, even when the evaluation did not come back in my favor, (due to distance) they followed me through to the final trial, she fought for me, her work is phenomenal, and she won me my move-​away! Her and her staff are dedicated, and very bright! I recommend Lori to everyone I know, and I will always have her number on hand!

Lori represented me several years ago in a divorce/​custody/​support battle. It is never pretty. She and her staff were professional, kind, understanding and effective. Because of her team, my grown children were financially supported while they were minors. Their deadbead dad would have walked away and not looked back. Divorce is never pretty, but Lori made it the best experience possible. She showed me courtesy and respect through the process.

I was referred to Lori by a friend who needed to finalize her case after two sub par attorneys. I highly recommend Lori and her staff after the work that they’ve done for me with my divorce.
They’ve helped me from day one to do an AMAZING job to «Squish the Petish». That said, from start to now, they’ve assisted me with all of the (in hindsight), b.s. paperwork. SADs, IEDs, emails, letters, motions, etc. as well as working with me in editing all of my Responses. Really, at times, I was in stitches with the editing work that her paralegals Lindsey and Rachel they did for me, GENIUS! You not only need to be book smart in this process, but also street wise and cleaver, which they all are and Lori is #1 at it; some may say she’s a bitch, I say she’s not only a bitch, but a cleaver bitch!
The whole divorce process can be sad, exhausting and distracting, not to mention a nerve racking process. Lori and her staff have given me the support and confidence to make it through the ordeal with my head up, charging forward and focused on the future!
Every penny I have paid to her firm has been so worth it and is still less expensive than having the «Petitioner» in my life! Divorce is expensive, why? Because it’s worth it!
Thank you Lori and staff!

I recommend Lori Viviano and her staff for anyone that is looking for an expert and professional Firm in Family Law specializing in divorce.
My initial consultation seems like so long ago. I had interviewed several attorneys but I knew from the first meeting that I wanted her.
I am a very nice guy which can be my character downfall at times. Lori picks up the slack and can be that bitch you need on your side!
I genuinely feel that this office had my best interests in mind at all times. Keeping me in the loop on all communications and even taking the time to break things down into terms that a 4 year old could understand so I knew what was going on at all times.
I feel that they tried to save me money anyway they could without sacrificing the level of service that went above and beyond what I was expecting.
Her Senior paralegal, Lindsey was amazing. Always so positive and patient with me taking the time to answer any and all emails that I sent in. In fact, she even moved my car out of the 2 hour parking on two separate occasions while I was in court with Lori because she didn’t want me to get a ticket. These are the things you can expect if you were to hire Lori as your representation.
My case happened to be very difficult. I was dealing with someone that was very unreasonable and irrational. It was a very difficult year and a half battle. There were many days that I was feeling beat down. Receiving emails from my Ex’s Attorney, thinking I was losing at times. While all along, Lori was in control. She was setting me up right in the end. She drafted my MSA that proved to protect me in our final court appearance. Lori was amazing in court. She knows everyone and knows the judges. If she doesn’t know the judge, she knows what the judge likes and doesn’t like.
She knows the law, she knows how to protect her client and she knows how to deal with people.
I am so thankful for Lori and her team. I will recomend her to anyone I know that is need of a real professional Attorney.
If you need someone that has your best interest in mind, treats you like family, knows the law, very professional and a winner then sign up with The Law Office Of Lori Clark Viviano.
If you are up against Lori, then I feel sorry for you!

I was referred to Lori by a friend who had a family member that hired her and she did a great job for them. It was a difficult time and I was to be honest very confused about what to do and how to move forward. She was able to talk when I needed to ask questions that were important and she had assistants help when I needed things that were less important to save me money. The cost in the end was exactly what she said it would be roughly at the start and the case ended up just as she said it would. I hope to never need an atty again but if I do I would call her. Thanks Lori. Dirk

I love Lori and love her approach to family law. My ex husband sees it fit to take me to court every single year for the anything he can think of and sometimes for the exact same things. See has represented me 2 or 3 times now and each time I had a great experience with her. She works well opposing counsel and does a great job to look at the case realistically. She is very quick to tell you if what you are asking is something you will be awarded or if whether you should prepare to be turned down in court. She is one of the few lawyers who doesn’t have you waste your money by asking for non sense in court. I also liked that she was the one who was beside me in court each time.

Ms. Viviani is incompetent. This is not my opinion but the judge’s. She double billed me for a deposition, an extra $ 5,000 and would not refund the money. I wasted $ 25,000 and had to start again from the beginning with another lawyer who completed my divorce.

I retained Lori Viviano and her team to represent me in my recent divorce. The case was settled and finalized pretty quickly. I recommend the firm highly. Lori has great people skills, not only in court and in negotiation, but also in setting strategy and helping her client see the options clearly. Jeff Miller was my go-​to for paperwork and discovery, he makes «dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s» easier. The whole team is really supportive. I think some of these negative reviews came from people who did not retain Lori’s firm, and weren’t very realistic about the divorce process — it is hard work, and can be very painful. But when it is over, you realize the value of a good team. Lori and her firm are smart, supportive and effective.

I was referred to this law firm by a neighbor who’s ex-​wife had retained their services. I thought it was unique that he admired her enough, while opposing her, to recommend them.
My initial consultation with Lori was a lot like the others. Lots of fire, hard charging attitude, etc. She led me to believe that she would personally be representing me. She did not. In hind sight I had to remember I hired her law firm. I was represented by Mr. Miller.
My first impression of him wasn’t great but don’t let the smooth taste fool you! Well prepared, on time, kept me informed. His hourly rate was less but not inexpensive. His representation was great. Overall I had a positive experience.

Don’t let her first impression fool you. She turned on all the charm during my initial «consultation». I had a follow up question after the consultation & I got the royal blow off. I emailed her and her assistant called me to tell me she was on vacation and to call back in a few days. I called 3 times with no return phone call. Do not retain this woman/​firm for your legal needs. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

It has been a rough 4 months for me but Lori helped me through it. We won on all accounts in divorce court, if anyone really wins ??? Lori is very professional and is well know and well liked at the court house, this helped to comfort me in a horrible situation. The cost was outrageous but it is finally over. I hope to never need a divorce lawyer again but if I do I will be calling Lori :)

If I could give Ms Viviano ZERO STARS I WOULD. RUN, TURN, GO SOME WHERE ELSE OR REPRESENT YOURSELF ASK FOR A CONTINGENCY… ANYTHING BUT HER!
She is great when you first meet her, well maybe not. She talks about two of her success (after 25 years) one has to do with a man grabbing a woman’s breast and tossing her and the other a woman sends her ex a picture of her new mans privates. REALLY!
She said let’s go and we can do it! NOT! She shows up for court late. State she did something in court and then LIE and say she didn’t. We have the transcripts that said she did.
She will believe others before her own client.
She will stand around after court discussing your case and telling everyone her two perfect cases and charge you $ 335 an hour for it!
She will talk down to you like you are stupid. Charge you for everything including a paper cut. YES! I SAID PAPER CUT $ 1.20 IT IS THE INVOICE.
I really think she doesn’t care for men or believe them.
My suggestion is RUN go to court by yourself; you will be better represented.

Horrible experience. Absolutely do not recommend. I do recommend looking at the reviews that are listed in the link below to get a true picture. Far more negative experiences posted than good. They give a great example of how Lori runs her practice.

I had an amazing consultation with Lori this afternoon. She was friendly but assertive and answered all of my questions. Through out the consultation she was able to get to know me while letting me get to know her. Lori is extremely professional and even recommended that I wait to hire her until after I finish school in 2 months. Someone that is just in it for the money would have taken my money today and added stress to my already hectic life and now I know can wait and I’m comfortable with that decision. I’m excited to finish school so I can hire her and finish my divorce without being worried that I’m getting screwed over by my ex because I don’t have the time to concentrate on everything that goes into finalizing a divorce. I completely recommend at least getting a consultation with Lori. I’m sure you will end up hiring her like I will!

Ms. Viviano and her team handled my divorce and while watching her represent me in court my only thought was what a great choice I made. This was solidified by the fact that I had more than one person tell me what a great attorney Ms Viviano was. Watching her represent me in court, pouring through some of the most complete and thorough documentation I have ever seen, as provided by her and her staff, was worth the price of admission all by itself. Her knowledge of the law is incredible and she knows that its not just about having all the answers but also having the resources around you and to call on those resources to perform like a rock star.
I’m really thankful to Ms Vivano and her entire staff, especially Lindsey for the tremoundous amount of work that went into my case. During the course of my case Ms. Vivano saved me more in spousal support than I spent in fees to her.

Lori handled my prenup. I came to her after going to another attorney who wasn’t very helpful. My then-​fiancé (now husband) had his attorney draft a prenup, which I wasn’t too happy with, and I needed to hire my own attorney to help me counter with terms that I was ok with. I met with Lori in her office and explained my situation to her: what I wanted, what my fiancé wanted, and what each of us weren’t willing to budge on. The wedding was only 2 weeks away so we were in a time crunch.
In our first 1 hour meeting, Lori and I were able to brainstorm ideas of what terms would be acceptable to me so that we could send them as a counter-​offer to my fiancé’s lawyer. In the meantime I talked to my fiancé about my proposed terms, which he happily accepted and our 2 lawyers then just hashed out the details between the 2 of them. All we had to do was sign. My fiancé’s lawyer was actually impressed by how on-​it Lori was and how quickly she got her end of the deal together.
Now in any family law case, emotions run high. Lori not only talked to me about the law but also about some practical real-​world advice that she’s acquired over the years in her profession and that certainly put my mind at ease. And she seemed very honest with her advice. It seems from some of the other reviewers that they were a little put-​of by Lori’s unconventional lawyering style. Not all lawyers are conservative and circumspect and I’ve found some of the best lawyers are the ones who will speak their mind, like Lori.
Oh and she only charged me $ 100 for our first hour-​long consultation and then her regular retainer of $ 960 to get the job done. I liked this much better than the first lawyer I went to who charged me her regular hourly rate of $ 325 just to READ THE PRENUP. And then charged me another $ 325 to meet with me in person, only to tell me that she can’t do anything for me. At least if Lori couldn’t have helped me, I would have only been out $ 100, instead of $ 650.

Wish I could give zero stars but I guess that’s not an option. Several years ago I hired Lori to do a support modification. I met with her and she told me it was very simple and would cost me no more than $ 1500 as long as no discovery was involved. Well… she and her assistants burned through that $ 1500 before anything was accomplished (and no discovery was ever conducted). Mind you, I am in the legal field as well and wrote most of the pleadings myself and she just reviewed them. She got my modification but that was after billing me an additional $ 1000, part of which «billable time» was spent by her flirting with my ex husband when he stopped by her office to drop off paperwork. How do I know this? Well for one she called me and asked me why I ever divorced him he’s so handsome, blah blah blah… I couldn’t believe my ears. And the icing on the cake was her suggesting to me to fudge numbers and when I said «but that wouldn’t be telling the truth,» she laughed at me like I was the most naïve person on the planet. I DO NOT recommend her at all. Not even for a traffic ticket. I just happened to see her ad on the side of a site I was just on and that’s what prompted this review. Please don’t get suckered in, you’ll be sorry.

I have been a client of the firm for a few years now. Lori and Tiffany are knowledgeable and professional. They will handle your case with care and efficiency.
I have been so impressed with the services received from this firm. Please at every step. I have recommended her and her staff to numerous people. Many have even wished they started and finished with them instead of the attorney they settled for!
If you want the best… The Law Office of Lori Clark Viviano is your ONLY choice.
From start to finish… the advice and guidance at each and every step has been a God send. Lori and her staff… know their stuff and I am a better person because of it.
I have my kids, child support and have pretty much gotten everything I asked for simply by listening to Lori and her staff.
