ABOUT ME

Lorin Zaner been a licensed attorney in Ohio and Michigan since 1976. His undergraduate degree was in chemical engineering. His scientific background has been invaluable to him in his practice, particularly in cases which require a scientific approach.  Since being admitted to the practice of law, Lorin has handled thousands of cases in numerous and diverse areas of the law.

Over the years, Lorin has developed a special interest and extensive knowledge in representing people regarding child abuse related cases.  He has handled criminal and domestic cases involving alleged sexual assault and false allegations of child abuse. As one might imagine, the most difficult cases are those of the falsely accused. These include adults accused of adult rape and adults and children accused of molesting their own children, stepchildren or others. Each case is different and the facts and circumstances need to be thoroughly explored. Of the numerous cases in this area that Lorin has tried to a jury, the vast majority have resulted in acquittals for his clients.

Lorin stays informed of the current research in these areas, attending conferences around the country where he often lectures and meet some of the top experts in the areas of psychology, psychiatry and medicine. Through these relationshipos, Lorin has been able to use the services of these experts to help explain to juries how false allegations develop and how many doctors misinterpret what they see as alleged sexual abuse, when it may not be abuse at all.

For instance, Lorin represented a woman accused of killing her child by “Shaken Baby Syndrome.”  He brought in the top experts around the country and obtained a verdict of “Not Guilty” on her behalf. Lorin also represented another couple that lost custody of their child due to allegations of shaken baby. Based on his cross-examination of the State’s expert, and the compelling testimony of my expert, the Court returned the child to the parents.

Over the years, Lorin has built a network of hundreds of clients who refer cases to him. Numerous attorneys have contacted him to assist them or handle cases for them in a number of areas of the law. Lorin simply does not like to lose and he will work hard for you to try and receive the best possible result giving the circumstances.

I have never entered into a partnership with other lawyers for a number reasons. However, I share office space with several other lawyers who are of great assistance to me and my clients, including Adrian P. Cimerman, Carla B. Davis, Jill M. Varnes-Richardson, Scott E. Spencer, George Gernot III, Amy E. Stoner and Geoffrey A. Cottier.

Together, we are capable of handling criminal and traffic cases, family law cases, personal injury and malpractice cases, real estate matters, probate and most other areas of the law. If we are unable to handle your problems, we can refer you to competent counselors who can.
