Marshall F. Dotson III

How many attorneys will give you there cell phone number? Let you call them any time of the day, night or weekend? Respond to emergencies at the drop of a hat? Then take your ex to the cleaners as you sit back and watch him fold like a cheap suit!?! That is what Attorney Dotson did for me!!!! An...d it did not come cheap! Once my retainer was used up...more I brought in for him to continue to help me!! No, I could not always get him everytime I called; but, not everyone gets me everytime that I get a phone call either.....I seriously get confused about the post and how anyone is allowed to just post anything they want to on the internet....he did good by me and I refer all my friends from speeding tickets to custody, he is your man!!!! I thank him from the bottom of my heart for all he has done for me!!! He got me my kids, child support, and I love when the new wife has to cut my alimony checks each month....ahhhhhh...revenge is so sweet....Raleigh handles my support now....Review guidlines state do not post hostile or insulting content....unsupported accusations....hummmmmm looks like there are some angry ex's on the internet....The wrath of Attorney Dotson need I say more!!!

I must admit Mr. Dotson is a very busy man, but he is the best attorney that I have ever done business with. My last divorce, not being my first rodeo, I had a fairly good idea of the fees to expect and knew better than to run up my own fees with a bunch of unnecessary calls and emails. I took all ...of my information in when I first met with Mr. Dotson, we discussed my case and he or someone from his office called me when they needed further information from me. My bill at the end was nearly $8000.00 which I thought very reasonable compared to my first attorney on this matter. I can't even bad mouth him as I picked an attorney that did not specialize in domestic matters. In the door I paid $2500, when I in effect "fired" him (the first attorney in this particular matter) there had been NO court documents filed so the only thing I received back were letters between attorneys and a copy of the fee agreement that I signed acknowledging that no initial moneys paid would be refunded. Mr. Dotson then took my case worked with me on payment and gave my ex a good old fashioned spanking plus sued him for the remainder of the attorney fees owed. I wonder if some people understand the process? I also wonder if they consider that when you are paying someone to look after your best interest perhaps you need to step back and let them handle it. NO, the process was not quick and NO he never called unless he needed something from me, but he did an excellent job for me. The bad reviews...I think are bogus, I went from my first attorney offering to settle at $2500.00 and 2 years at $200 per month and ended up with $90,000.00. I think that was a damn good job. Thank you Mr. Dotson

Wow, so confused with all of these negative reviews but you know, I paid thousands of dollars as well and I truly got my monies worth and more and did not complain when I had to pay more money, my children were worth it. Yes, at times he was difficult to get in touch with but in the end, the result i...s what counts! These kind of reviews should be banned as it is not fair to attack someone's livelihood and only seeing one side of the story. And you know, since when is having a busy attorney bad thing, would anyone like to have an attorney who has not clients? Gesh...you get what you pay for! When the retainer runs out, get ready, you got to pay more! I know I do not work for free and do not expect anyone else to when my fees run out. Custody matters are expensive and you get what you pay for!

Had the WORST experience with him. He is too busy to handle my case apparently, but not too busy to bill me thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it. I email, call, text, all to no avail. I never hear back from him. Months will go by with no response no matter how much I contact him and leave... desperate messages. It makes a tough situation (divorce) even tougher! He has caused as much pain and frustration as my ex, which is saying a lot. Other than broken promises and empty vows, he has done nothing for me or my case other than allow it to drag out much longer than it should have.

I hired Marshall Dotson to represent me with some child custody issues. After I paid him, I never heard from him again. He never returned phone calls or emails. This was an extremely hard time for me and he was NOT compassionate, responsive or helpful. None of his filings were done untill I was a...t witts end and had phoned repeatedly. By that time, I had to hire another attorney to help. Marshall never returned the money I paid him for a retainer and would never return my calls about the money to discuss. If you really need help when looking out for your childrens best interest, HIRE SOMEONE ELSE. This attorney will only put more stress on your plate.
