Go by heart

He represented me and did it exceptionally well. I'm appalled reading the stones others have cast; when I know for a fact this man truly advocates for his people. Ironically I don't believe he judges the mistakes of others - just helps clean them up.

Divorce

Hired him for my divorce case and just like many of you said he never returned calls, forgot to inform me that I was supose to be in court, I just happen to walk in his office to pay him some money and he was like I will see you in the morning and this was at 3 in the evening, no time to let my work ...prepare for me to be gone.. I was sitting in his office one day and over heard him talking to another young soon to be attorney and he said "yeah most of my clients are a bunch of low lifes" to this day I should have put him in his place but I kept my mouth shut..

Needs to lose his License to practice!

My Ex and I have been trying to get separation papers for 3 years and because of Marshall we still don't have anything. Marshall has wasted Our time. He makes promises and never fulfills them. DON'T HIRE THIS ATTORNEY.

waiting for a response

Never would i recommend this attorney. His responsiveness and inaction wasted 3+yrs AND my retainer. He will tell you he is filing a motion- yet NEVER did! Would never hire him if i had researched the 2 misconduct trials he has had...disappointed and wish i could get my money and time back...

DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY

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.
