Wish We'd Never Used Him

We were extremely disappointed with Daniel Dorsch. From the very beginning, he was slow to respond and it took several emails to prompt him to send promised drafts, taking almost a year to draft simple documents. He was argumentative about erroneously used terminology, refusing to correct errors in... documents. He made what should have been very simple transactions extremely complicated and we are still awaiting the final product - even after several email requests. Other than our initial Zoom consultation, he was inattentive to requests and failed to follow-through on promised actions. We definitely will not use him again and have already contacted another attorney to correct the documents he prepared for us.

I am surprised and overwhelmed to see this review. If anything, even remotely close to these assertions was ever brought to my attention, I can assure you immediate corrective action would have been taken. A few things make me question the validity of this posting: 1) Of all the Zoom initiated consultations this past year, they either went with other counsel, or the file was successfully closed; 2) It states it was a “simple transaction”. I do not handle “transaction work;” and 3) Personally, I have NEVER been argumentative with any client or ever refused to correct any error(s). I am here and available to discuss any issues that any of my clients may have encountered. If this is indeed real, I encourage you to please reach out to me anytime to discuss.

Will

After speaking with Mr Dorsch I decided it hire him for specific reasons of writing my will. He was very knowledgeable with information and very patient with all the questions I had.

Fabulous Attorney!

I selected Dan Dorsch out of the blue and couldn't be more thankful that I did. In the whole big world of legal issues, mine would be minor to most - but Dan made me feel like I was his most important client. He worked diligently and quickly to bring the matter to resolution, explained things along... the way, offered support and guidance and delivered exactly what I needed. He's extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and just a darn great guy!! I don't want to say I look forward to the next time I need an attorney :) - but I know when that day arrives, Dan will be my go-to!! Thank you Dan!! You're the best!!

Will and other documents

We knew we needed a Will, but we were unsure as to what other documents. With our initial meeting with Mr. Dorsch he had a list of documents we would possibly need. He explained each one to us and helped us determined the documents needed. He is very knowledgeable, prices are reasonable, and accommod...ating in setting up an appointment. He even offered reviewing a LTC document for us, which was not necessary. We enjoyed working with him and I would highly recommend him. We will use him again, if needed.
