Fred Douglas Dorton Jr

Attorney Dorton helped me with a complex business litigation lawsuit I was involved in. My former business partner had recently obtained a divorce and in the midst of the divorce, he decided to severe the partnership. We were having difficulty and lots of disagreements about equity split, as his wife... was suing him for a part of his equity in the business. Attorney Dorton helped me and my business partner dissolve the partnership in an equitable and fair manner. He and his wife are still battling their divorce, so the outcome of her possible portion is not clear. Attorney Dorton sat both me and my business partner down, helped us come to common terms that we were both agreeable to, and drew up the documents. His calm, yet commanding demeanor facilitated closure on what could have also ended our friendship. He is confident, fair, and thorough. I will definitely refer other clients to him.

A decade ago I took the risk to open my own business. The recent economic downturn forced me to choose between keeping my faithful employees, who helped me build the company, and paying my mortgage. I chose my employees! After numerous notices in the mail from my mortgage lender, I went searching ...for an attorney to help me out with my situation, as my lender was not willing to negotiate with me. I searched for law firms to represent me, and as they say, the cream rises to the top! I hired The Dorton Firm for their expertise in Real Estate foreclosures. The staff is responsive, efficient, and friendly. Mr. Dorton is knowledgeable, tenacious, and an incredibly skilled attorney. His background in finance made the negotiations with my lender far better than if I had tried this on my own. He explained complex terms to me in ways I could understand. In the end, my loan was renegotiated and I am still in my home!
