Dorsch Law stands above all others

Mr Dorsch provided our family with a comprehensive trust that will be used by our children upon our passing. Mr. Dorsch was professional and his caring demeanor helped us uncover things that needed to be included in our trust that we had overlooked or not realized till he brought them to light. Hi...s thoroughness was very impressive and his ability to articulate to us in an understandable language, which broke down the legalese to English was so appreciated. His patience in answering the millions of questions that we came up with was exceptional. His meetings were professional and never a waste of time. After the first meeting with Mr. Dorsch my wife and I had a mutual feeling that this was the right person to accomplish what we needed in a trust and a living will. His preparation of the final product covers everything that we ever thought about needing. When we pass my wife and I feel very confident that our children will have no unexpected problems carrying out our final wishes and that our estate will be handled in a manner that will bring no hardships to their lives. Mr. Dorsch has helped our family come prepared to the table when we pass and my children know that this is one thing that they will not have to worry about when that time comes. We cannot express our appreciation and faith we have in Mr. Dorsch and can not thank him enough for the peace of mind that my wife and I now share more importantly my children now have that same peace of mind.

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.

We did our last will and testament. It was professionally done. The price is reasonable. we also got our Deed on Death done. There were some miscommunication, but that could of been due to the language barrier. Overall great service.

Estate Documents

Dan created estate documents for us. He listened to our needs and made/provided several recommendations. Additionally, he took the time to make sure our questions were answered. We are happy with Dan's services and will use him for future estate updates.
