Amazing Job

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dori Foster for my custody proceedings, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the moment I met with Dori and her team , I knew I was in good hands. They took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions in a compassi...onate and understanding manner. Throughout the entire process, Dori Foster was incredibly responsive and always kept me updated on the status of my case. They provided me with clear and concise explanations of the legal issues involved and helped me navigate the complexities of the process with ease. What really stood out to me about them was their professionalism and dedication to getting the best possible outcome for me. They fought hard on my behalf and never backed down in the face of opposition. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, I was able to achieve a favorable outcome in my custody case. Overall, I would highly recommend Dori Foater to anyone in need of a divorce or custody attorney. They are a true professional and an expert in their field, and I could not have asked for better representation.

Fabulous family attorney

I was involved in a very litigious divorce that lasted almost 3 years she was wonderful about the process very detailed if you're looking for the Floyd Mayweather of family attorneys you've got her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
