"I have known Gary Dorst for as long I have been practicing law (approximately 15 years). Gary has a knack for taking a case, standing it on its head, and looking at it from a completely different angle. The result is that he is able to see things in cases that other, less-experienced and/or less-qualified attorneys cannot see.
