William James Dorsey

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took ...on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges. If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to. If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm. I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my c...onsultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing. In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb. As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free. Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself. A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people. Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

Mr. Dorsey was able to turn a Child paternity/ Time Share case from ugly to resolved peacefully in an astonishing time frame. I can attest that His reputation as an experienced and fierce litigator precedes him, his name alone as your attorney of record commands caution and due respect from the oppos...ing counsel. My case had failed mediation, had a disasterous temporary needs hearing, and was headed towards social investigation and trial when I hired Mr. Dorsey. I walked into his office stressed, fearful and sleep deprived. Bill walked through my case with me; his legal experience and knowledge of the family court system were so evident that i immidiately knew i had found the right person to represent my family. His ability to have a presence that is equally commanding while instilling confidence in me led me to hire him on the spot. I walked out of his office a brand new person. Within 48 hours of his name going on my case we recieved a settlement proposal that was beyond expectation. Never once have I felt Bill was unduly prolonging my case to maximize billable hours or being unreasonable with fees. From the start I felt my best interest was the focus and goal. He was honest, straight forward about his fees, potential cost and process for trial etc. Additionally, words cannot express my gratitude for his paralegal Susan. She communicated all changes and progress nearly in real time. More importantly she was a source of understanding and kindness when it was most needed without ever being asked for such a benefit. Without reservation, I give my highest recommendation to the Dorsey Law Firm. I would not ever hesitate to retain Bill for any of my legal needs

Mr. Dorsey is the absolute best divorce attorney. I had a messy divorce with an ex who tried to play games and use settlement discussions as an agreement. It truly wasn’t an agreement and thanks to Mr. Dorsey, he proved it wasn’t an agreement. My ex played many games but with the help of Mr Fordey..., he didn’t win the game! The whole process was a mess but I came ahead in many ways thanks to Mr Dorsey and his girls. After mediation was a fight with my ex, and Mr Dorsey continued to do what was best for me and my daughter, he won’t give up on his client. Mr. Dorsey is an honest attorney who doesn’t promise you the world, like many. He knows the laws and tells you how it is!! He will listen and fight for what he believes is in the best interest of his client. He will work many hours, provide case law which proves what he/his client are fighting for.. I live miles away from my family and I felt like he acted like any father would for their daughter, I’m sure he would treat a man the same. His staff is also wonderful, they are on the ball!! I left their office today with hugs. They are like family!

I was involved in a domestic violence situation with my very young children. Mr. Dorsey was able to protect both my children and myself from an abusive situation. He and his team are a wonderful group of people to have fighting for you nonstop . They truly care about you as a person and n...ot just as another client to pay the bills. The Dorsey Firm treats you like family and they actually mean it; they prove it through action. There were a lot of difficult challenges in my case and Mr. Dorsey was able to overcome them and get my children back due to not only his 40+ years of experience but also his by his strong willed attitude of absolutely never giving up. I am extremely thankful to have had him as my attorney in the most unexpected and difficult time of my life; domestic violence against both myself and my children and a divorce. He and his team will lead you in the right direction and make sure that you and your family are okay. They are a loving, caring, and truly devoted team of people. I would highly recommend them to any and everyone! I cannot express my thanks and gratitude enough to Bill Dorsey and The Dorsey Firm for putting my life back on track. I will forever be grateful to you and your team!
