Loretta Marie Helfrich

Loretta has an active mediation and family law practice conveniently located just east of downtown Cincinnati. After earning her undergraduate degree at Thomas More College, Loretta went to Washington, DC and earned a master's from The American University in International Law and Latin American Studies. Upon returning to the greater Cincinnati area, she attended the University of Cincinnati College of Law and graduated in 1989. She has been practicing law in Cincinnati and surrounding communities for over 25 years.

In 1989 Loretta went to work for a small firm in downtown Cincinnati. There she did a broad-based litigation practice. After 10 years, she took the leap to a solo practice and opened her own office. Since setting up her own office she has focused her practice on family law and mediation.
