Lorraine Harden-O’Brien was born and raised in Manchester, England where she first took an entry level
position as a secretary to an articled clerk in 1973. Ms. Harden-O’Brien was quickly promoted to the position
as secretary to the solicitor–owner of the firm. It was at this time she applied for a visa to work in the United
States and moved to London to facilitate the process. While in London she worked for the NAAFI and then in
the Legal Department of the Office of Fair Trading. When the “green card” was granted, she flew to Chicago,
Illinois where she was put to work as a secretary for attorneys specializing in federal underground

bookkeeping tasks full-time.

paralegal tasks for solo and small law firms. Ms. Harden-O’Brien brings thirty-five years of legal experience to
