Expert Consultants are used to testify in court regarding an issue that needs further explanation for the judge or jury. They are there to provide their analysis and opinion on a matter that relates to the case. They provide clarity and make it easier for decisions to be rendered based on facts, as opposed to emotions.
Guardianship is a legal relationship established by the court that assigns an individual or program to a person who has developmental disabilities, dementia, brain injury, chronic mental illness, or any other issue that makes them incapable of caring for themselves.
To establish guardianship in Wisconsin, the court must find that an individual is substantially unable to provide for his or her physical, emotional, medical, or residential needs and unable to make "informed decisions."If it is determined a person is at risk, the guardian is given the right to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated individual.

Foster parents are a critical part of the child welfare system, yet they are underappreciated. Foster parents take abused and traumatized children and give them a family life while their parents are in a bad situation. In Wisconsin, foster parents have the right to object when the agency changes the foster child's placement.
When someone marries a person who is already a parent and a relationship is established with the child that person often considers adopting the child. This is known as step-parent adoption. Termination of parental rights is always easier if the child's natural parent is absent or agrees, but stepparent adoptions can occur even if both biological parents do not consent.

Lori helped me with a guardianship case, and I can’t say enough about how easy it was going through the process with her. Her response time was amazing. Whenever I had a question, she was more than willing to take the time to explain everything to me. In addition, she made the scheduling of appointments very convenient and efficient. I would definitely recommend her services.

Attorney Lori Kornblum was a lifesaver when our family had to deal with CPS. On our own we could not get anyone to return our calls or answer our emails. Lori came in like a superhero!

She is a lawyer that truly cares about her clients. She is our go to for legal help when it comes to any foster care related legal issue. I run a grassroots organization called Feel the Beat and we refer all our foster parents to Lori for help! Many of them have

Lori Kornblum was the court appointed guardian ad litem for my son who has autism. She communicated effectively with my son to help him understand guardianship. With expertise and sensitivity, Ms. Kornblum accurately represented my son in court. She was prompt, knowledgable and trustworthy and worked well with our family. I would not hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to others.
