Very satisfied

As a father of young children, I was very nervous about finding an attorney to represent me in my divorce. I’m very grateful to have found Robert Von Dohlen and his wonderful team! Robert represented me with great dedication and professionalism. He is a straight shooter that doesn’t sugar coat anythi...ng and you can truly trust in his advice. His calm and sincere attitude really put me at ease through some of the difficult details of my case. In the end, I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Thank you for everything!

Attentive Lawyer

To start off, Von Dohlen is a great lawyer who represented me with pride and strategy. When I spoke with this man I could tell he practically lives in the Courthouse. His insight on the law and how it works really secured my doubts about hiring him. right off the bat, he understood the issues I was h...aving and he knew how to combat them in a respectful informative manner. Lawyers have a bad rep of acting sheisty, but working with Von Dohlen and going over strategies with him really made me feel like I chose the right man for the job. In the beginning of the lawsuit, he gave me several options on how to proceed which I must say were all viable options. He explained to me in great detail what those options would intel (how the opposing counsel would respond and his opinon on court rulings). As my case would develop I never once felt like I did not know what was happening with my case. He was informative and his staff was very friendly. There would be times I would call his office for a case update (after receiving an update the day before) and he never seemed frustrated or irritated. He would always assure me that I was in good hands and I would not have to worry about a thing. His services were very inexpensive which made the whole lawsuit a lot smoother for me. Towards the end of the case, where real negotiations would take place he would lay out the offer from the opposing counsel and give great insight on what I should do. Von Dohlen is definitely not afraid to go back and forth with opposing counsel in negotiations, mediation, or in the courtroom. Overall he handled my case with great pride and integrety. I never once felt like I was at a loss by retaining him for his services.

Exceptional job handling my divorce and child custody

Robert was very attentive to my needs and always available and responsive when I needed him. Finalized my divorce issues faster than I ever anticipated. Couldn’t be more satisfied and grateful.

Tricky Civil Matter

Robert was very easy to deal with. When dealing with previous attorneys, I found them non responsive, Robert was absolutely the opposite even responding on weekends and evenings. I felt like he actually cared about me and how I faired in this matter and was not just looking for money. I have alrea...dy recommended him twice and will continue to do so.

My Legal Experience with Robert Von Dohlen

In what was possibly the most stressful event to ever take place in my fifty (50) years of existence, I cannot imagine where I could have selected a better legal representative than Robert Von Dohlen. This attorney removes the ambiguity from the divorce process. He has a quiet and calm approach to hi...s handling of both the proceeding and client interaction. This becomes extremely important and helpful given the dynamic and often time painful process. If you are going through through the divorce process and need quality representation, I would highly recommend this attorney. In closing there were several occasions where the apposing council attempted to drag out the process so that more billing could be achieved, but this is not the business philosophy of the Von Dohlen Law Firm. I could go on for hours praising this attorney and the kindness and compassion that was continuously shown but i won't. I will leave it at that. He is amazing and I would highly recommend Robert as you will not find a better representation at any price.
