A top-rated attorney with nearly 15 years of legal experience, Ms. De Lorenzo focuses her practice exclusively on family law, and she provides exceptional representation to clients throughout Milwaukee and across the state who are going through a divorce or have some other serious legal issue affecting their families.
As an attorney, Ms. De Lorenzo strives to provide the highest level of counsel and support possible through experienced, dedicated, and compassionate advocacy. Well-versed in mediation and other alternative dispute resolution techniques, she prefers to help her clients resolve their conflicts and reach agreements on child custody and support, property division, spousal maintenance, and other related matters without having to resort to costly, stressful, and adversarial court proceedings.
