Excellent Lawyer
Bill Dorsey and his professional staff are the best. Bill was to the point and always had my best interest in mind. I was referred to the Dorsey Firm by a friend many years ago and couldn't imagine calling on anybody else when in need.

Amazing Attorney and a True Gentleman
I don’t know what I would have done without the expertise of Mr Dorsey and his professional staff. They did an excellent job of keeping me informed and helping me navigate through a very difficult divorce. His experience comes shining through in his knowledge, straight forward advice and confidence...
"I worked on a highly contentious case with Mr. Dorsey and he remained professional during my appearance. He was also very knowledgeable in the area of family law."
"I worked for Bill as a paralegal, before I went to law school, back in the mid 80s. He was likely my inspiration for becoming a lawyer. I always thought that he was an excellent lawyer, hardworking and dedicated. I endorse him without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I know this attorney and I have worked with him for several years. He is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney and he works diligently for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer.I have known and respected Bill for over 30 years. He is a tough but honest and ethical opponent and vigorous advocate for his clients. He doesn't mind getting into the trenches and fighting it out like the former football player he is. He is well thought of by his clients, judges and opponents alike."
"I endorse this lawyer, and can highly recommend Bill without any hesitation. Bill is my "go to" guy for anything involving antenuptial agreements, as well as marital dissolution, child custody and related matters. I have referred countless clients to Bill, all of whom give him the highest accolades."
