Was a client of attorney

She was not for me at all in my case. She was for the employer the whole time. Did not really explain to me the details of my case at all. Lied on me in front of a judge just to make herself look good. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone. Please consider someone else before going to this at...torney. I am sure she is a good attorney for business but she is not good attorney for employees.

Amazing lawyer

Dorotha was extremely helpful! She always answered my questions, she was really great with guiding me towards the right path. Because of her I had confidence throughout my whole case. Dorotha is a ethical, knowledgeable, and fast thinking lawyer. She's always prepared for anything that comes her way!... I'm definitely going to refer her to others if needed!

Bright, Tenacious, Competent Lawyer!

Ms. Dorotha Ocker is the most hardworking and diligent attorney I've ever had the pleasure of working with on a landlord-tenant issue. She resolved my issue with great ease and acted confidently and expeditiously. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a tenacious, competent and principle...d attorney!

Quick Response and Great Advice!

Ms. Ocker provided me with great advice regarding my questions about non-compete clauses for employees. I worked with her completely online and via phone, and she provided great service. She was quick in responding to my emails (less than 24hrs), answered all my questions, and was willing to make tim...e even at the end of her office day to talk to me due to my busy schedule at work.

Would never hire again

I had a very bad experience with this attorney. One day she is nice and the next time she is making threats. She discussed other clients calls in my presence and is very poor at responding to emas and calls. She expects her clients to settle for less than what they want. Has almost no actual liti...gation experience.

Replied last September 19, 2014

Brian, I am very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. I thought that when you agreed to your settlement offer two years ago after 10 hours of mediation that you were happy with it. I'm so sorry to hear that you were not. Settlement is always up to the client. Always. I remember telling you that I was willing to go to trial on your matter without you having to pay me one dime more than you had already paid me. I assumed that you wanted to settle, as it was you who agreed to the offer after 10 hours of negotiation. Again, I am quite sorry to hear that you did not feel like I fought for you. I will take your criticism in stride, and I will attempt to make my future clients feel better about their experience with me. Again, I apologize for how you must have felt two years ago when I represented you and the case settled.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have referred numerous cases to Dorotha and have worked hand-in-hand with her on several matters. She has always performed top-notch work and has assisted me with little to no notice on emergency issues. She is my go-to lawyer for landlord/tenant issues, and I can't recommend her highly enough!"

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.
