"It is rare to see an attorney not only committed to the client's case, but to the overall impact the case could have on their life, future, and immigration status. He communicates very well, and knows when the client needs to engage counsel for non-criminal advice. A pleasure to work with!"
"Me. Dobrinsky is a very intelligent and hard working lawyer. He always goes above and beyond to research issues and get the best outcome for his clients. With Mr. Dobrinsky’s knowledge of the law and talent, you are in good hands!"
"Stephan was a stellar Public Defender in Broward County - he truly cared for his clients and provided them with great representation. I would feel comfortable with Stephan on my case or referring him a case."
