Dishonest,Smartmouthed and Cannot be trusted

Atty Dobogai is dishonest and smart mouthed, He don't accept weekly and monthly payments, He makes you pay him the whole amount of money when you hire him as a attorney.

Highly Recommended - Terrific Lawyer

I had talked to a couple of other lawyers previously, but i was immediately comfortable choosing Mr. Dobogai after meeting with him. He is very honest, intelligent, hardworking, personable and affordable. I was being charged with a 3rd OWI and he got it reduced to a first. I am very thankful to have... had him and I would recommend him to anyone.

Honest and Professional

John professionally handled my legal difficulties without personal judgement. He was able to clearly communicate all options to me. We discussed possible strategies together. The results were terrific! I would recommend John to anyone who needs honest legal representation.

Great lawyer!

Mr. Dobogai is the most ethical and trustworthy attorney I have ever retained. My case was just a traffic violation, but without Johns attention to detail I am sure I would have had to pay much higher fine, and possibley served some time under the Huber Law. Thanks John!!

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.
