Dorothy Louise Carfrae

Yes, I would recommend Dorothy Carfrae to my best friend and my relatives, if they ever need a family law attorney. I was referred to Dorothy by a person who lost his family law case because he was represented by an attorney who does not specialize in Family Law. Dorothy specializes in Family Law a...nd has practiced for 30 years. It says a lot when you watch her in court, when she is treated with respect by the judges, other court staff, and other attorneys. Do your homework, go to court, watch her and then decide. She won me custody of my children. And I am forever grateful.

I was referred to Dorothy Carfrae by a court bailiff. He said that if he was in need of a child custody attorney, that is who he would hire. Well, he is right. I was falsely accused of child abuse by my ex. You know, the same old tactics that people do when they get mad at you for breaking up. ... She wanted to punish me for leaving her, although there was no other woman at the time. Because of her accusation, Children Services Dept. opened an investigation, interviewed everyone, including my kids, and it took a year for them to clear me and declare that the accusation was unfounded. In the meantime, I was treated like a criminal and not a dad. It took a long time for me to get back my children, because at first the court ordered supervised visitation, even though I have never been arrested for anything. I now have more custody time with my kids, and my name is cleared. I do appreciate the hard work that Ms. Carfrae did on my behalf. Sean.

One reviewer said she did not get support while Dorothy got her full custody. How did that work? I would rather get my children than $$ . Another said vaguely that (s)he told him/her that the case would settle for $100 grand, and then (s)he settled for less. Why did (s)he settle? It's a client's de...cision to settle, not a lawyer's. Yet another said vaguely that the retainer is non-refundable and that should be a clue. Did he read his retainer agreement? Did he sign it? Come on, please be fair. These reviews sound fake because they are not based on very simple legal principles. Dorothy Carfrae represented me and litigated the whole case from start to finish, including all issues of child custody, visitation, support, and division of properties. I was right there all the way, and I am pleased. I am grateful
