My name is Dorothy Cavalier. I have been pracricing law since 1997 (18 years). My practice focuses on personal injury, criminal defense, family law and matrimonial law. I believe that everyone deserves to have someone willing to fight for them & I like to be that person.
In addition to practicing law, my practice volunteers time to various charitable evnts like Bikers for Boobies (Breast Cancer) & Dee Snider's Ride for Hunger (Benfits Long Island Cares).
