Lori Hogen

Divorce Consultant, Mediator
HAHLAH Consulting Group LLC

About

While working full time in family law and raising her children, Lori went back to school and earned both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Organizational Management. Her master's program required a business plan, and that assignment eventually became her first company. It also helped her see that one of her strongest skills is bringing order to chaos such as organizing information, explaining complicated processes, and helping people take the next right step.

Lori brings more than three decades of family law, court, mediation, and organizational experience to the table. Her goal is simple: to help clients feel more prepared, more informed, and less alone during one of life's hardest transitions.

Professional Perspective

One of the biggest lessons I have learned is not to let fear make decisions for me. Fear of not being good enough, making a mistake, or disappointing someone can be powerful. I think that is one reason I relate so deeply to women going through divorce.

When you are in the middle of a major life transition, fear can make everything feel bigger and harder. With the right support, you can begin making decisions from a place of strength instead of panic.

Client Reviews

“Working with Lori as a divorce consultant was a game-changer. She expertly helped me organize and pull together all the documents my attorney needed, and her guidance kept me focused and on track throughout a very stressful process. The value of her services was incredible—using Lori saved me significant attorney fees while ensuring everything was handled correctly. On top of that, her mental fitness program provided much-needed support for the emotional challenges of divorce. I felt guided, supported, and empowered every step of the way.”

"I had a very high-conflict case involving division of assets and debts, and Lori was absolutely amazing. She stayed calm and patient through every tough moment and kept us focused on finding fair solutions. Her knowledge of family law and finances was clear, and she helped us reach a full agreement when I honestly didn’t think it was possible. I’d recommend Lori to anyone going through a difficult family law case.”
