Meet Lori

As a child, Lori’s father often told her the story of the Princess and the Pea, always telling her, at the end, his version of the moral of the story: “If you don’t like the life (bed) you’ve made, get up and make it again!” An adage that has remained with her all her life, especially as both a child of divorce and a divorcee herself, Lori knows what it’s like to go through the process and come out stronger on the other side.

Lori places a great deal of value on the importance of family, which has shaped her strong personality and brought her to where she is today. Lori relocated to Virginia Beach following her own divorce, where she enjoyed the support of her own large extended family as she rebuilt her life in Virginia.

Lori joined the Hofheimer Family Law family after an illustrious career working in firms both large and small (and owning her own local law practice). Lori is unique to our firm in the sense that she has handled cases in a wide array of practice areas – including complex commercial litigation and criminal law, in addition to her vast family law experience. She is also licensed to practice in New Jersey and New York, in addition to Virginia. Her biggest strength? Lori is a seasoned and comfortable litigator, combining preparedness with serious attention to detail!

Lori received her B.A. from Rutgers College, and her law degree from Rutgers University Law School, where she was a New Jersey Bell Scholar at Rutgers College and a Phillip J. Levin Scholar at Rutgers Law School, based upon her academic ability and potential capacity for public service through law.

She began practicing law in 1988 with a unique familiarity with and understanding of the court system, after having served as a judicial legal intern to the Honorable Maryanne Trump Barry, Judge, United States District Court, and as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable Murry D. Brochin, Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey. Lori was an associate attorney at the law firms of Greenberg, Dauber & Epstein in Newark, New Jersey, and at Pitney, Hardin, Kipp & Szuch (now Day, Pitney) before relocating to Virginia.

Following the birth of her son, Lori opened her own practice, The Law Office of Lori A. Michaud, P.C., handling civil, criminal defense and family law cases. Lori brings a number of distinct advantages to her practice of law, from working closely with judges, handling complex cases involving extensive litigation, working with firms both large and small, practicing across state lines, and, also, on a personal level, being both a mother and a local business owner. She also has a tough, no nonsense personality, and a frank, levelheaded demeanor that serves her well in a courtroom and during difficult negotiations.

Lori’s son is now grown, living on campus and studying business at Old Dominion University. Now an empty nester, except for her sweet goldendoodle, Yankee Doodle Boy (“Doodles”), Lori is finding time for re-establishing hobbies that she hasn’t had time to enjoy for years. When she’s not killing it in the courtroom, Lori enjoys biking, exploring, and she swims nearly every day.

 

Lori’s’s Reputation

Though we can’t guarantee results, and every case is different, we’ve had some pretty happy clients over the years!

Lori made me feel my case was very important

Lori always made me know that my case was important and that I was understood! This really came through when we were in Court. She also works hard to keep my bill down. What more could I ask for?

L.C., Virginia Beach, VA

Thank you for all you did for us!

On behalf of my granddaughter, my great-grandson and myself, thank you for all you did for us. If we should ever need the service of a family attorney in Virginia, believe me you will be the one we would call upon. Of course if any of my friends or relatives should need your service I would not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again.

M.E., Aurora, CO

With Lori’s help we were able to navigate the court system

Lori has done a great job of helping me navigate the various courts I have had to litigate in when my husband became violent. Thanks to Lori, my kids and I are safe!

M.P., Virginia Beach, VA

She gave me good advice

I always felt that Lori and her staff were 100% on my team. This really helped me through this difficult time in my life. She always gave me good advice and actually returns calls and responds to emails!

M.B.P. Virginia Beach, VA

Lori took on CPS

Lori took on CPS for me and was able to get my daughter and I back in our home when false abuse accusations were made. I am so grateful!

J.M. Virginia Beach , VA
