History
Established in 2010.
I started DWD in Miami, in 2010, where my practice was split evenly between litigation and amicable divorces. I relocated back home to Monterey, California in 2018, and am excited to focus completely on the amicable process -- helping you get through it as easily as possible and saving you thousands of dollars. Divorce with Dignity was established in 1996 and has grown to cover multiple locations across California.
Meet the Business Owner: Lori O.
Lori Black Ogene is a seasoned attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Florida, with over 20 years of litigation experience.
"I have seen the mental and emotional turmoil caused by the litigation process --not to mention the expense. Most divorcing clients spend at least $350 per hour for a divorce attorney. On top of that, these legal proceedings can be unnecessarily traumatic and bewildering, since most couples are just trying to understand the process while it's happening."
