Lori Ann Botello

Lori Botello was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas. She attended The University of Texas at Austin, where she received a Bachelor’s of Business Administration. Immediately after graduating from UT, Lori attended South Texas College of Law in downtown Houston as a full-time student to earn her law degree. Growing up, Lori’s parents instilled the importance of a dedicated and strong work ethic. Beginning in the fall semester of her second year of law school, Lori clerked part-time for a mid-size law firm and continued clerking until graduating from South Texas. Six months later, Lori received her license to practice law and immediately began working on her own, providing a broad range of legal services to individual and commercial clients. Over time, the focus of Lori’s general practice has narrowed to providing legal assistance in the delicate areas of probate, guardianship, and estate planning matters and defending those accused of committing crimes.
