Excellent Closing Services

I engaged Brad Dornish's closing services for our refinancing. There were bank transmission issues that were involved but Brad stepped in personally to resolve them.

Rental Property case

Brad, Beth Fischman, and staff at Dornish Law Offices were more than helpful. Brad and Beth were thorough, efficient, knowledgeable and professional with our case. They spent time discussing our issue, calming us down after our initial contact; their responses were timely with our follow-up questio...ns/ concerns; provided additional information to help us in the future management of our rental property; came to a settlement that was much less than we anticipated; and advised us every step in the process. We felt very assured and comforted--Brad and his staff are awesome!

Property Covenant Consultation

Brad was very well prepared for our initial consultation. He is a good listener; very congenial manner of speaking; and, made sound and practical suggestions.

Superb rental attorney

We have a small LLC with rental properties in the Pittsburgh area. Brad has been our real estate attorney for 7 years. His depth of knowledge regarding the ins and outs of rental property is profound. A knowledgeable author, he is frequently asked to speak to landlord groups. A landlord himself, he ...is aggressively on the side of the landlord. We use his lease, and recently won a case in Magistrate's Court, netting us several thousand dollars. In another instance, we had a tenant who would not transfer the utilities into the tenant's name. Brad provided us the exact language to use, and the utilities were transferred in days. Brad is a great combination of ethical pragmatism, street smarts and a total command of his field.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
