Love My Lawyer

Dori-Ellen is a fantastic attorney with great negotiating skills. Extremely professional. She is extremely knowledgeable of the laws and has excellent ideas on how to quickly resolve matters. I would absolutely recommend using her.

Great Attorney !

Excellent attorney with genuine caring for her client. Ms. Feltman is respectful of the judiciary, appropriately strong with opposing counsel and sufficiently pragmatic enough to settle when it is in her client's best interests. She has a superb grasp of financial matters which is paramount in any ...such proceeding.

Posted by Michelle | October 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly Recommended

Dori Ellen has exceeded my expectations with my current custody, visitation and child support hearings. She is very thorough and her years of expertise in family law are evident every step of the way. Dori Ellen is very personable, she truly cares about her clients and is passionate about providing... them with positive results. Her paralegal, Ilene is extremely helpful and supportive. Should you need an attorney specializing in Family Law, Dori Ellen will not disappoint.

Posted by Kimberly | October 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent Attorney

Dori-Ellen Feltman represented me in a divorce case and I was very fortunate to have her. Attorney Feltman was sympathetic, but honest and worked hard to help me navigate the financial and legal, as well as emotional intricacies of this difficult time. In court she presented a strong, well develope...d case that was compelling to the judge and achieved the outcome that we hoped for. I would highly recommend Dori-Ellen Feltman.
