Posted by Kristen | October 12, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

relieved to find her!!

Dorene represented me when I had to go to court to evict a tenant. I am just an individual landlord, and don't have some massive company or anything, so for me this was a somewhat emotional process. Dorene knew the ins and outs of landlord/tenant law in DC, and really made me relieved to have her on ...my side! She was very responsive and made me extremely confident that she knew exactly what she was doing. Also, since she does this a lot she knows the reputation of the various judges, mediators, etc and knows a lot of the people you will deal with in the courthouse. Also, I found her services to be affordable for me and she doesn't nickel and dime you for every question (phew!). I have consulted her since this time several times to ensure I know exactly how to legally protect myself in the future. I highly recommend her!

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Jul 08

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Without reservation, I unequivocally endorse Ms. Haney as an exemplary attorney and professional. I had the pleasure of working under Ms. Haney as a student attorney in a legal clinic providing representation to indigent clients in landlord-tenant proceedings in Washington, DC. Ms. Haney was extremely knowledgeable and very well-respected by the other attorneys and judges in court. I learned a great deal about the law and how to practice as an attorney from Ms. Haney, and fully recommend her to any potential clients in the DC metro area."

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.
