Estate Planning 27%

I work with clients on preparation of wills and trusts. Sometimes this is a simple combination of basic documents; other times my clients require the complex estate plan of a high net worth individual.

Posted by Tiffany F. | August 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Great Attorney Who Knows His Stuff!

Mr. Oberdorfer has been my family law attorney since 2005. He assisted me with my divorce and when my ex-husband recently filed for a child support review he assisted me with that as well. He was very knowledgeable about the process of both circumstances and was always on top of things. Anytim...e I had a question he was quick to respond and charged a fair fee for his services each time I hired him. I always felt comfortable and confident when going in to to see the judge with him by my side. He did what he said he would do and the outcome was always close to how he described it would be. I would highly recommend Mr. Oberdorfer to anyone needing a family law attorney.

Hired Doug to represent me in divorce, he talked like he would fight and win, but that's all it was talk. He has done nothing he said he would do and I'm worse off now than I was before I hired him. Do not hire this guy!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
