Practical, Smart and Efficient

Dori-Ellen handled my reasonably amicable but very complicated separation and subsequent divorce. Throughout the negotiation Dori-Ellen was professional, responsive and reasonable. Once the final documents were negotiated she handled the court filings in a timely manner. She prepared me for the he...aring and what to expect from opposing Counsel and the Judge. Once the matter was concluded she provided organized copies of the documents. The billing was fair and she does not waste time.

Highly Recommend Dori-Ellen Feltman

Family law issues call for expert and sensitive advice and counsel from a lawyer with legal expertise and personal judgment. This is what I sought and obtained from the wise advice and counsel of Dori-Ellen Feltman.

Great service!

I first consulted with Dori-Ellen regarding a modification of my existing divorce agreement - moving from an unallocated alimony and child support to child support only. I wanted to understand my options and she provided me candid and balanced feedback, explaining different approaches and possible o...utcomes. She took the time to answer all my questions and never made me feel rushed. I ended up hiring her and going through the process. I could not have hoped for a better result. The modification was signed and my final child support obligation matched the number she initially provided me, without any unpleasant surprises. Thank you so much for making this very difficult and confusing process seem a lot less daunting!

Highly Recommended

I am glad I found Dori-Ellen when it was time for me to engage an attorney for my divorce. From our consultation, and all through the 13 months ordeal, she has been a tremendous help and advocate for my interests and for the best interests of my child. Together with here paralegal, Ilene, they made... me feel confident that I'm getting the attention, support and focus I need. I am extremely grateful to Dori-Ellen, and happy with her service..

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
