An Excellent, Pragmatic Lawyer!

I hired Dori-Ellen to represent me in my divorce. She had a very calculated way about her but has the ability to gracefully remove emotion from the equation. Let's face it, there are emotions involved in every divorce which can hinder your common sense and get get you to react in a fashion that can... hurt your final judgement. She helped me get through that. Every time we had to present to a judge or mediator, she was fully prepared...i's dotted and t's crossed, which allowed us to present from a position of strength and confidence. My ex-wife's lawyer played dirty throughout the proceedings and, among other things, tried to execute 3 injunctions, each of which we won - due to being prepared. I would highly recommend Dori-Ellen and feel that she will get you the best result you could ever expect. She did that for me!

Superb representation

Dori-Ellen Feltman was the ideal fit to represent me. What is priceless about Dori-Ellen is that throughout the preparation for my hearing, she got to know me and my son, and she was committed to providing the consummate representation. It’s clear that Dori-Ellen Feltman customizes her approach to be...st serve each client. Dori-Ellen was driven to best prepare for my case: she is the type of lawyer who frequently meets to strategize with her client, and she proactively anticipates, plans, and responds accordingly, as opposed to being reactive. I have no doubt that my case would have resulted in a negative outcome without the representation of Dori-Ellen Feltman.

Excellent Attorney

Dori-Ellen helped me through a very difficult time in my life with her great legal expertise. I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Excellent Negotiator

Dori-Ellen was fantastic. She handled my contentious divorce/child custody case with aplomb. What I liked in particular was her ability to gain an exceptional outcome with tact and grace. This is all the more impressive because she truly cares about her clients and their families. All in all, she... helped make a truly unpleasant situation bearable with her excellent consul.

strong advocate

Dori-Ellen came as a recommendation from another attorney, I needed to resolve an ongoing court order compliance issue with a very irrational person. Dori-Ellen came out of the gate strong and resolved the issue with the same strength. She is a quick study and very responsive, no hesitation in reco...mmending her.
