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.

Trust creation

Dan Dorsch recently completed a trust for our family. He gently guided us through the decision process involved in creating a trust. He spent the time necessary to make us comfortable with our decisions. Mr. Dorsch’s knowledge and expertise gives us confidence that the final product is legal, co...mprehensive and meets our needs both now and in the future. The overall experience was extremely positive and satisfying. Anyone needing the services to create a will or trust will be well served to consider Daniel Dorsch as their attorney. Both my wife and I highly recommend him without any reservation. Harry and Carolyn A.

Happy we hired him for wills/estate work

My husband and I hired Dorsch Law Firm to update our wills and add other estate planning documents. We were looking for a small or individual firm, rather than a flashy, large corporate firm. Based on our research, we contacted Daniel Dorsch. Our initial meeting showed him to be easy going, caring... and easy to talk to. He took the time to get to know us, our needs. He’s good at explaining all aspects of estate planning and answered all of our many questions. He has proven to be an excellent attorney, extremely knowledgeable, and has provided us with all the documents we need. His prices are reasonable. We would recommended Daniel Dorsch to others needing wills and estate planning documents.

Dan helped me update my will and advised me of additional paperwork that would take care of all concerns in the event of my death. He was extremely nice to work with and I received all completed paperwork work in a timely manner as well as digital copies. I would highly recommend his services.
