Satisfied client!

Thirty years later and the Dorsey Law Firm has been there for me. I’ve always received top professional service. The results have always been to an advantage. I have known Katie Werner as well. She has been there for me and comes through like a charm. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting R...obert Richards. He took my legal experience to another level. I cannot express how grateful I am for all the hard work the entire staff has given me.

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.
