Outstanding Service and Expertise- Thank you!

I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude for all the hard work and dedication you put into our adoption case. Your expertise and guidance were invaluable during this complex and emotional process, and we are so grateful for your support. Your attention to detail and commitment to ensuring th...at all the legal aspects of the adoption were handled properly gave us peace of mind throughout the entire process. Your knowledge of adoption laws and regulations helped to navigate some difficult situations, and we are beyond thankful for your guidance. Your professionalism, honesty and kindness were greatly appreciated, and you always made yourself available to answer any questions I had and provide me with updates on the progress of the case. You went above and beyond to ensure that everything was done in a timely and efficient manner. Thanks to your efforts, our adoption was successful, and we are now the proud parents. We will always be grateful to you for helping to make our dream of becoming parents a reality. Once again, thank you for your outstanding service and support. We will always remember the incredible work you did for our family.

Best. Lawyer. Ever.

Simply put, hiring Mr. Roddy was the best legal decision I’ve ever made. From a technical point of view Dion provided great results; he knows his stuff. He kept me out of court and protected the time I have with my daughter. However, Dion has a unique quality… something that I’ve found nowhere else. ...He provided a peace of mind I didn’t think was attainable within legal matters such as my own. Dion’s nearly boundless efforts and genuine caring demeanor made it obvious to not only myself but also those around me that he was invested in my situation and cared about what the outcome meant for my family. He continuously made time for me, always respectfully shared his opinion truly embodying a legal advisor (not a yes man) and was the most on point attorney I’ve ever hired… I’ll never look elsewhere again.

Excellent family lawyer!

We hired Dion Roddy to help us with the termination of parental rights and ultimate step-parent adoption for my son. Several lawyers did not even want to take this on. Mr. Roddy not only accepted our case, but he walked us through the process and kept us informed of all the steps. The adoption went ...swimmingly, and we couldn't be happier. I would absolutely seek out and recommend his services again. Thank you!

Dion Roddy- fantastic family lawyer!

After dealing with my ex-wife for years, it became apparent she would never honor my rights as a father. This fact made me seek out ADAM of Southfield, Michigan- the law firm where Dion Roddy practices. Over the course of our case, I had the pleasure of witnessing Dion's professionalism, compassion..., and quiet confidence. Not only did he completely dismantle all of opposing council's falsehoods and claims, he displayed a great deal of care and compassion towards me and my family. It was apparent he truly cared for my family. Dion was always sure to respond to my communications and quickly return calls. Bottom line- Mr. Roddy cares deeply about his clients. It is clear he will always do everything in his power to win the day for his clients, as he did for me. In a few short months, Dion was able to accomplish everything we set out to do, everything I had been working towards for years. We achieved a proper and fair parenting time schedule, rotating holidays, two weeks with my son during the summer months, and so much more. Because of Dion Roddy, I am able to be a father, on my terms and with the right amount of time with my son. My life feels whole and complete, with my son in my life as he should be. I have Dion Roddy and his law firm to thank for this. I can only give him my thanks, gratitude, and the highest of praises. Dion Roddy is a fantastic lawyer and an amazing man.

Family lawyer | Oct 14

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I came across Dion's professional path when he clerked for the Honorable Lisa Gorcyca in the Oakland County Family Court. He was always professional and was a positive and calming influence on the good judge's daily docket, which was not short of daily stressors. Now that he has moved to private practice, I have no doubt that he will bring significant value to his clients' matters. Why? Mostly because he genuinely cares about his profession and above all, his clients. You cannot go wrong by hiring this young attorney."
