The Best Attorney Without Question

I feel lucky to have Dori represent me during my case. She led me through a very emotional and unexpected child custody issue. Dori was very attentive, knowledgeable, and honest. I set my expectations in the beginning and Dori developed a plan. She provided me with regular updates on my case and wa...s always available to answer my questions. No matter what crazy actions or requests were made by the opposing attorney, Dori knew exactly how to handle the situation. She took the time to explain every motion or request before it was filed. Her professionalism and composure were key in exceeding my expectations for this case. I would highly recommend Dori’s services.

Attention to Detail

Ms. Boone-Constantino was very attentive to my wishes and was instrumental at bringing my legal issue to a satisfactory resolution. I enjoyed working with her because I felt she listened and understood my expectations before providing options to resolve the issue. She is very personable and trustwort...hy.

Adoption

We adopted our daughter from Ethiopia and hired Mrs. Boone-Costantino as our attorney for the re-adoption in Texas. I met her many years before when she was working while in law school and was our wedding photographer. I knew from that experience that she had great attention to detail and was very ...professional. I had every confidence in seeking her help with our daughter's adoption in Texas. I assumed the international part of the adoption would have made the process a bit more complicated...maybe it did, but she never let us feel that. Stress was last thing we needed as new parents only home six months with a toddler. She was very organized and clear in her communications with me regarding all the required documents and forms. Without much notice, my father-in-law flew in for a visit (from out of the country), and she was able to get us a court date so that he could attend. The re-adoption was of course emotional for us, but also for our attorney. (How many people can say that?) She was there when our lives began together and again for the adoption of our first child. (I did apologize for making her teary-eyed in front of the judge). Especially in matters of family law, I think it is important to have someone working with you who really cares. She is a very bright, capable and compassionate person, whom I highly recommend.

Best of the Best

I am glad that Ms Constantino represented me during my case and everything went exactly as she said it would. She interpreted the laws so that it was crystal clear to me and always made sure I understood everything before we proceeded through the various hearings. I am a million percent happy with th...e outcome of my case by having her represent me after consulting several other lawyers in my area. She is smart,intelligent,passionate,thorough, knowledgeable,efficient, direct, friendly, and compassionate and represents her client and their case as if she is on trial herself to make sure they are treated fairly during the trial and I had never seen that before in any other lawyer. Ms Constantino was the wisest and best investment for my money and I am very proud to highly recommend her to any and everyone needing a lawyer.

Family Attorney

Dori was great. She understood how nervous and upsetting it can be for someone dealing with a child custody issue. Dori comes accross in a sweet way, and people always ask for a vicious attorney, but she is a KNOWLEDGEABLE attorney. She knows her business, and she is confident and secure. Everyone we... came into contact with seemed to know and enjoy her. Not a bad thing to have in an attorney!
