Theresa R. Lorella: Attorney with McKinley Irvin

Biography

Theresa Lorella is a thoughtful and strategic family law attorney who is dedicated to helping clients navigate some of life’s most challenging transitions with clarity and confidence. She was drawn to the practice of law by a desire to help people find their voice during difficult and emotional circumstances, and she prioritizes ensuring that each client feels heard, understood, and supported throughout the legal process.

Theresa represents clients in a wide range of family law matters, including divorce, parenting plan modifications, and complex property division. While she is a strong and effective advocate in litigation, she is equally committed to reducing conflict whenever possible. She is specially trained in collaborative law and regularly serves as a neutral mediator in settlement conferences, bringing a balanced perspective and a solution-oriented approach to resolving disputes. This dual experience allows her to guide clients toward fair, durable outcomes both inside and outside of the courtroom.

Her practice includes significant experience in high-value asset cases, including matters involving real estate, work-related benefits, and stock awards. Theresa has also worked extensively with clients in the technology sector, where nuanced financial considerations often play a key role. As a trained guardian ad litem (GAL), she is particularly effective in cases involving parenting plans and nonparental custody, always keeping the best interests of children at the forefront.

Known for her efficiency, insight, and ability to approach each case as a problem to be solved rather than a conflict to be escalated, Theresa helps clients move forward with greater stability and peace of mind.

Outside of her practice, Theresa enjoys running marathons, writing and publishing novels, and spending time with her two young children.
