Vanessa Rochelle Dozier

When my wife/ex told me she wanted a divorce on 4/23/2018, I was upset, but I thought it should settle pretty easily and quickly. To make a really long story short, and as with most anything that you involve attorneys in, it didn't settle easily or quickly at all. It took right about 2 years. I hired Vanessa about halfway through- during the first year I'd had a friend representing me, but divorce wasn't his specialty/main practice area, and it was straining our friendship, so he withdrew and I started looking online for a lawyer. I read reviews on lots of lawyers, and found Vanessa's to ring home and feel honest and sincere, and her advertised hourly seemed quite reasonable. When I first contacted her, she told me her case load was too great, so I went off looking for someone else, but a couple days later she called me, told me she'd settled a case and had some time free up. I respected her for telling me she wasn't available when she thought she couldn't provide the time (I've had attorney's in the past who would take on more that they can reasonably manage- which leaves you feeling like you are paying a lot for them to pay too little attention to your issue), and I was glad when she called and agreed to work with me. And at that point, she couldn't have imagined the frustration my ex and her counsel would put us through for the next year. Vanessa was there with me to deal with some really ridiculous things through this process: protective orders that were totally unneeded, the deposition of an uninvolved 3rd party, countless settlement offers that more than fair and generous on our part yet immediately rejected by the ex and her counsel- it was honestly the most bitter dispute I've ever been involved in. We ended up never reaching any settlement and did actually have to go to court for a full 2 day trial--during which Vanessa really performed incredibly. She was well prepared and thorough, spoke well, and clearly made the points to the judge/court that we wanted made. My main goal of court, and the reason we never settled was that we could never agree what to do with the marital home. I wanted to keep it, my ex wanted it sold by trustee, and we could never agree to a price at which to sell the house- which I wanted to keep and live in anyway. In the end, the courts decision was to allow me to keep and refinance the house in my name alone (which I'm working on now and will get done soon), without my having to pay my ex anything for it- which was something that my ex's lawyer assured both Vanessa and her own client-would NEVER happen. And, I had offered my ex 50% of what my ex had spent on her legal fees for me to simply keep the house as recently as a week prior to the trial. So, without being specific (as this website has asked me to be), all said and done: Vanessa saved me about 50% of what my wife paid in legal costs over the course of 2 full years-. You can guess at the number, but I got what I wanted- to keep my home, and I got it for a much better deal than I'd already offered to pay for that privilege. I'd recommend Vanessa to anyone in need. She's thoughtful, smart, hard working, will return calls and emails promptly (sometimes emails are returned at 3am- she works a lot and odd hours sometimes), and Vanessa did care- both for my case, and as a matter of her personal pride- I could tell in the months before court that she was focused on getting me a decision that would make us feel like it was actually a "Win" after all that time. I really liked that. She took the time needed, she made my goals her own, she worked hard towards them, and Vanessa got us there in the end- we got the courts decision on 3/6/2020- so pretty much all of 2 years it took, but I'm happy, I'm sleeping better and the headaches from the divorce are over. And, I'm not the worlds easiest person to represent- I'm pretty demanding and had high expectations- but she got it done. I can't thank her enough.

Vanessa Dozier has been amazing! Very detailed, professional, patient, and understanding from the day of the initial consult to the closing of her winning our case! Her prices are fair and reasonable and she provided comfort throughout the entire process. This was our first time hiring an attorney and she has been there when we’ve needed her at all times! I strongly recommend her for your family court cases, you won’t be disappointed!

Ms. Dozier represented me in a very high conflict divorce that also included domestic violence. I retained her services for THREE different cases involving my divorce and she delivered amazing results throughout each case. She became more than just my attorney, she became an advocate for me to ensure that justice was served. Ms. Dozier spared no expense at representing me and my children's best interest during the divorce and made she made it her business to ensure that during this time, I also stayed focused on what needed to be done. She provided more than just legal services, she provided me with resources I could use to help me process what I was going through, guidance on how to start putting the pieces of my life back together, and encouragement to see it all through. I am forever grateful for her and words simply can not express how exceptional she is. She is very thorough in the courtroom and always stuck to the FACTS of the case. Her knowledge and research skills in obtaining and acquiring information is done with precision and she uses the information to get the best results. As my attorney, she also held me accountable for what I needed to do in order to get the results we were seeking and to control my emotional thinking. Her approach in court is strategic and she uses logic, reasoning, and facts to prove her case. Again, she represented me in THREE cases during this high conflict divorce. And we came out on top in all three cases. She has encouraged me through not just her words, but her actions to see the best in myself and to take my power back after years of abuse. If you are looking for an attorney that truly puts the best interests of their clients FIRST, Ms. Dozier is the one to choose. I am forever grateful for what she has done for me and my children and I am forever grateful for her and her services. I will also use her services for any legal issues I may have. Ms. Dozier is everything described in her bio...ACCOMPLISHED, PROACTIVE, AND VISIONARY PROFESSIONAL FOCUSED ON DELIVERING HIGH-QUALITY RESULTS!

I first contacted Vanessa in mid 2020 when she told me her schedule was tight and she referred me elsewhere. I decided to continue to consult with her and her advice got me the best situation I could think of while saving me potentially thousands. She saved my family! The world needs more lawyers like her.

Vanessa helped me work through whether I should file bankruptcy. She was straight-forward and I completely trust that she had my best interest in mind while counseling me. I have a family law matter issue happening right now, too. She helped me spot the potential issues and reassured me that everything would be ok. I highly recommend her.

Contacted Vanessa via a web application. She responded in less than an hour. Once she and I described the case, she was very detailed in providing her services, fees, etc. After I hired her, she kept me well informed, and guided me as appropriate to get through the divorce proceedings. In every contact, Vanessa was the most professional and very thorough. I enjoyed working with her.

I am so glad I found Ms. Dozier when I did. She was so amazing, thorough, patient and understanding. I know she went above and beyond her duties and I am so grateful for that. I was going through SOOOO much when I called her, she made me feel safe. She answered all of my questions and made sure I was aware and fully understand every step of the process. I AM NOW DEBT FREE!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooo much! Please Please Please, listen, if you choose anyone to defend your case, let it be Vanessa Rochelle Dozier!

I hired Ms. Dozier almost a year ago for my custody case and to date, I am extremely satisfied with her services. She answers all of my questions in a timely manner, makes sure I understand what she is doing and what to expect. She is very respectful, professional, and means business. Even with my own doubts she has reassured me that I will be ok. Her education and experience shows in and out of the courtroom and she is the first Attorney I would recommend to any of my family or friends that would need her services.

Mrs. Dozier made the process very seamless and was able to get it done quickly. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

I will highly recommend Vanessa. Very professional and knowledgeable. She fights for customers best interest. I hired her for custody case and relocation case and thanks to God and her, the case was won !
