She obtained her distinction as a collaborative law lawyer in 2005 and practices collaborative law in the area of family law.
Collaborative law is an alternative process to resolve disputes without having to go to court. Under the advice of a lawyer, all parties and their lawyers sign a contract agreeing not to go to court and instead work together in meetings to resolve their conflict. This process is used in disputes such as divorce, wills and estates, and business disagreements.
Lorie is very family oriented. In her free time, she enjoys camping with her family, gardening and horseback riding.
