Jordan is a very knowledgeable attorney. He was able to have a case against me dismissed after he pierced the other attorney's lawsuit. Jordan is also a very personable and responsive person to work with.

We dealt with Jordan in resolving a particularly difficult fraud case. There were a number of parties involved, all pointing fingers at each other. Jordan kept us informed of all of the issues; he kept us confident that eventually results would happen as everything got sorted out while it dragged ...

Mr. Dorrestein has helped me with several legal issues both in the state of Colorado and in Illinois over the last few years. He is someone I can count on to turn to when faced with legal issues in both my business and my personal life. More importantly, Jordan is always straightforward and honest ab...

Mr Dorrestein was empathetic and understanding at all times. I felt as though he worked really hard on my case, and always kept me informed of everything he was doing. He was understanding of my situation, and hard on the opposing counsel. Would recommend Mr. Dorrestein to ANYONE!!!!!
"Jordan is one of the most authentic and geniuine lawyers you will meet. There is no smoke and mirrors with Jordan-- what you see is what you get: a honest, professional and extremely knowledgeable attorney. I wholeheartedly endorse Jordan as an outstanding lawyer within the legal community."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Jordan for the past several years. He is an exceptional attorney who dedicates himself to pursuing justice for his clients. I'm glad to have him on my team."
"Jordan Dorrestein is an attorney who I attended law school with and a highly respected litigator in the legal community. His conscientious work ethic makes him a results oriented effective attorney and I would refer any one of my clients to Jordan should they require his legal expertise."
"When dealing with impossible deadlines and complex legal issues, Jordan is exactly the guy I want to be working with. He is willing to hit the trenches and get the hard work done, but also brings in fresh legal perspectives that strengthen anything we work on together. During the short time he has worked at H&B, he is already building an impressive resume of victories in difficult cases. Jordan wrote two motions getting two separate complex securities cases dismissed. While his hard work and new ideas are great to work with, the best part of working with Jordan is his positive and motivated attitude. I look forward to continuing to work together with him on cases, and hope I don't ever face him from the opposite side someday in the distant future."
"Top notch attorney in a world of mediocre attorneys. I would hire him without hesitation and do so heartily and with reservation endorse Mr. Dorrestein."
"Jordan is an excellent attorney and litigator. I had the pleasure of working with him on a joint matter and he was great to work with and a valuable asset to the client. If another matter presents itself, I would not hesitate to work with Jordan again and endorse him wholeheartedly."

"Recently, I spent two days with Jordan where we had an opportunity to discuss the complex facts and applicable law regarding a matter that involved state and federal insurance and securities issues. Jordan has a keen knowledge of the nuances of this incredibly complex situation, but was able to distill its essence so that we could attempt to identify the potential solutions to the problem. He has a quick intellect and can verbalize plainly both factual and legal issues. I have been a practitioner in the securities arena for 26 and can attest to Jordan's ample capabilities in this and many others areas of law."
"There is a very good reason that Jordan holds the highest possible professional ratings an attorney can earn - he has, in fact, earned those ratings through his unrelenting drive to serve his clients at the highest possible level. Jordan has an absolutely tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience in viatical settlement litigation, which he combines with an unparalleled commitment to his clients and their cause. In short, one would be well served in entrusting Jordan as their attorney and counselor at law."
"I was very impressed with Jordan's in depth knowledge about viatical settlement litigation. He is very forward thinking and has a clear vision of the goals and processes required for success. I thought he was very approachable and friendly. His obvious competence and easygoing demeanor inspire confidence. I would definitely retain Jordan's services for my own legal needs."
"I have had the distinct privilege of knowing Mr. Dorrestein throughout law school and during his professional career. He is an intelligent man with a diligent work ethic. He is exceptionally well versed in all facets of the law and has a genuine desire to learn all he can to be better able to adapt to changing circumstances and unique/complex cases. His courtroom presence is astounding as he can intelligently, coherently, and persuasively put forth an argument that is both legally and ethically sound. He conducts his practice with confidence, yet without arrogance. He takes pride in his work and it shows in his zealous representation of his clients. I strongly endorse Mr. Dorrestein as an outstanding attorney as well as a tremendous individual. One would be well served by trusting in Mr. Dorrestein for any legal concern."
"Jordan Dorrestein Is one of the most talented attorneys with whom I have had the pleasure of working. Jordan's ability to analyze complex legal concepts and translate those concepts into persuasive legal argument was recently evidenced by Jordan successfully representing a client in a complex jury trial involving a four million dollar purchase and sale agreement. Jordan brings not only keen intellect to the practice of law, but a strong desire to go the extra distance for his clients."
