About

 Fatina’s area of expertise is family law. Ironically, she did not always know that she wanted to be an attorney. She began her career as a social worker because she knew that she wanted to make a positive change in the world. As time progressed, she realized that the best way to change the world was to help children and families. Although she enjoyed her prior career, she felt that there was something else for her. She desired to make a larger impact in the lives of children and families. She knew that as an attorney she could continue to be an advocate for children and families by providing legal representation to family law clients.In addition to family law cases, Fatina has experience handling cases involving real property disputes, domestic violence, and cases involving restraining orders.  Fatina also has experience with real estate closings. She is not a stranger to the courtroom. As such, she spends a great deal of her time in court advocating for her clients at least once a week and sometimes multiple times a week. In line with her passion for children and families, Fatina has experience with Mecklenburg County Guardian Ad Litem. Specifically, Fatina provided legal representation for abused, neglected, and dependent children. However, she received a large amount of her litigation experience through taking on clients in the NCCU Clinical Legal Education Program's Family Law Clinic. Fatina enjoys being in the courtroom, and she takes the utmost care and attention to detail when handling her cases.Fatina enjoys giving back to her community through volunteering with her church, Sugar Creek Church of Christ. She created a ministry with other lawyers in her congregation called Lawyers Inspired by God’s Heartfelt Truth (LIGHT Ministry). The lawyers within the LIGHT Ministry provide pro bono legal services and educational workshops within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community.

Ms. Lorick started working with our family October of 2019. She visited our home and explained that she will be representing our brother "Jr." for the upcoming guardianship hearing. We found her to be very pleasant and very professional. She was thorough in her preliminary investigations and gathered all the required documentations from his service providers in order to ascertain who would be the best fit to continue his care. It's obvious that Ms. Lorick has a passion for her job and takes the duties seriously she ensured that Jr. had all the tools he needed and the judge was able to clearly see that he had a very good support system of family members, caretakers, and advocates on his side. We were elated when the judge sided with us to continue the care of our little brother, who we adore and love very much. We give Attorney Lorick our highest recommendations and are looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Fatina did a wonderful job in assuring I would be able to get joint custody of my child after the mother of my child left the state abruptly. Fatina was knowledgeable, responsive, and worked closely with me to get what I deserved. She did so well I referred her to my colleagues who also attest to her being a great Lawyer. The process was long but Fatina made sure I was always up to speed with what was going on and best next steps. I am thankful I hired Fatina for my custody case I am sure you will be too of going through something family court related.

Attorney Lorick assisted me with Advanced Care Planning documents after the passing of my spouse. Being a young widow, I did not know what to do or where to start. With her social work background, and her eagerness to help, she had all the answers I needed to make sure my daughter would be in safe hands if something was to happen to me, as well as to make sure all my wishes were documented to be accepted. I would definitely use her services again!!!!

Where too start, just don't waste your money she was my attorney for custody I should have to ran the opposite direction when I went to her office and she come to tell me she needs a minute, "ugh that lady child was just in here crying, is your son going to cry". She wouldn't even enter evidence that could of really helped my custody case scary unprofessional weak attorney. Doesn't like kids very forgetful doesn't have any upgraded software which she failed to mention, charges for things that didn't even add up last court date she didn't even say anything for me I was running late. Lost custody of my son then she says, "she doesn't know what to do". She should really lose her license to be any where around a court house I have so many words for her but I will just keep it PG. That's why she has no consultation fee I have the day I wanted in her office haven't seen my son in 5 months.
