A good attorney is hard to find!

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!!!

CONFUSED WITH NEGATIVE POSTS!

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!

Wonderful attorney!

He was a wonderful attorney, kind, caring, and compassionate about my case. He provided a wonderful result, at times it was hard to get in touch with him but when my case got to Court, he rocked!!!! He worked with me with payments and got me a favorable settlement monetarily as well as my custody o...f my children in place. In looking for an attorney, there is no one else I would ever use!!!

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.
