Dion E. Roddy's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Roddy has earned his reputation as a top adoption attorney in Michigan. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"Dion is very professional, knowledgeable and great to work with. I highly endorse this him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Dion and I worked on a complicated interstate adoption matter. Dion's assistance was invaluable and the adoption was a success. Highly recommend his services."
"I know Dion both as an opposing counsel as well as a fellow lawyer in the community. His grasp of the applicable law is spot-on. Because of that, we were able to dispose of the posturing and work on resolving the issues. He promptly returned my calls, kept his promises and did what he said he would do. Very competent and professional in every respect."
"I appreciate Dion's knowledge and passion for helping families with adoptions locally and internationally. He is a caring and compassionate attorney and a pleasure to work with."
"I attended law school with Dion. He is an attorney for all the right reasons. His goal has always been to help people in all walks of life. I am pleased to refer anyone who has family law questions to Dion and know that they are in excellent hands."
"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."
