Professional, amazing and dedicated
Dontrice is truly a blessing. I went through a messy divorce and my family suffered abuse. Dontrice was thorough, patient and knows how to navigate the legal system. She was able to keep my children and I safe and get us the help we needed. I will never forget her or what she did for my family.
